<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Other Business <br /> <br />Chair McKenzie reported on the Minnesota Department of Human Rights Conference which she <br />attended in early December. She provided handouts from the conference including information <br />about the curriculum for "This is My Home." Chair McKenzie was disappointed that the <br />conference did not go much beyond a discussion of problems. However, there were good topics <br />and speakers including Chaska Chief of Police Scott Knight, Federal Indian Law and Race <br />Relations and Racial Disparities Initiative. Chair McKenzie had opportunities to network with <br />others in the field. She suggested doing an educational project with the new Mille Lacs Human <br />Rights Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Venters mentioned that the City is considering a rental licensure. He asked about <br />partnering with the Housing and Redevelopment Authority to ensure that renters and potential <br />renters are treated fairly. Commissioners discussed several ways the Commission could partner <br />with the HRA. <br /> <br />Commissioners agreed they have many ideas of things to do. They directed Carolyn Curti to put <br />together a list of potential activities that the Commission could undertake in 2006. The <br />Commission will discuss goal setting at the January meeting. <br /> <br />Commissioner Venters reminded members that he emailed Chief of Police Sletner. She is <br />interested in meeting to talk about police work, and she encouraged Commissioners to participate <br />in the annual Citizens' Academy to learn about police work. Commissioners discussed at length <br />who would attend with Commissioner Venters. Commissioner Kenney agreed to participate in <br />the meeting. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 8:35. <br /> <br />2 <br />
