Trainor also reported that Alleva thinks that it would be a great idea for the Commission to participate in the next police open house. B. Bergquist reported that she will be a participatant on a panel at the League of Minnesota Cities Annual Conference: "Dealing with Intolerance in Your Community." Bergquist will be discussing Roseville's Bias Response Plan, and will meet with Trainor to discuss possible questions. C. Commissioners Keys and Stillman from the Shoreview Commission discussed current projects and suggestions for Roseville Commission participation. Shoreview has a computer donation project underway, which was started in conjunction with a planned "Sister City" program with the Frogtown neighborhood in St. Paul. Shoreview has promises for computer donations, and asked Roseville to consider picking up the project, in light of the Shoreview Council's rejection of the Sister City program. Roseville Commission members expressed an interest in the Sister City relationship, and the possibility of developing some cultural exchange events.
