Weeklong diversity celebration City Intake At the April meeting Commissioners discussed whether the Commission should undertake assisting the Minnesota Department of Human Rights with handling Intakes. Commissioners said they needed additional information. Steve Smith agreed to check with Lucy Johnson-Gaines at DHR to see what is involved to allow Roseville to handle Human Rights Intakes. Steve left the meeting early, so the Commission tabled this item until next month. Committee Reports HRC Brochure - Martha Hardesty distributed the second draft of the brochure. Commissioners requested that web addresses be added next to the phone numbers. Martha agreed to do additional research on the No Fault Grievance Process. Martha and Larry Voeller agreed to research other dispute resolution venues. Improving and Increasing Education and Outreach - Karen Vnuk reported that she checked on the prices to print posters and calendars. However, since this is not one of the top goals for 2003 the Commission will not pursue this project.
