Kushner discussed the role of the staff liaison. V. Business A. Current Events. The Commission took some time out to discuss current events in Los Angeles and Minneapolis and discussed the reality of racism and bigotry in the suburbs as well. B. Multicultural Event commission Chair Deutsch discussed the need for the commission to make a commitment to proceed with the Multicultural Event and for a subcommittee of the Commission to take the lead in planning the event. McKenzie volunteered to Chair the subcommittee. Anderson, Larmore and Bancroft will also serve on the subcommitee. Because of McKenzie's involvement with the League of Human Rights Commissions and because their annual conference is held on september 19, it was decided that the Multicultural Event would have to be moved into early October. Kushner will contact Rosedale (and possibly Har Mar) to see which dates are open. Bob Bierscheid, Director of Parks & Rec. for the City of Roseville joined the meeting for a few minutes to discuss the involvement of the Parks & Rec. Department. He stated a few ways that Parks & Rec. might be able to be of assistance: publicity, signs, physical set-up, contacts with schools and other communities and possibly integration of the event into some of the ongoing summer acti vi ties planned at Parks & Rec. Bierscheid (or a Parks & Rec. staff member) will plan to attend the subcommittee meetings as requested. McKenzie will contact Bierscheid within the next two weeks with a rough plan of how to proceed with the Event.
