IV. Cable Protect Deutsch asked the Commissioners to review a draft ordinance appointing one commissioner from the Roseville Human Rights Commission to the North Suburban Human Rights Cable Project. The appointed commissioner would have the authority to approve, on behalf of the City, the release of videos which address human rights issues. The Commission determined that it was to soon to present such an ordinance to the Council and would discuss it at a later meetings. Norrgard presented a resolution he had drafted (see attached). Norrgard moved, Borden seconded the attached resolution. Roll Call: All ayes. V.
