it <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />Department Approval: <br />Item Description: <br />Manager Reviewed: <br />Date: August 19, 2002 <br />Item: ~. C_ <br />Agenda Section: <br />Organizational Business <br />Human Rights Commission Grant Application <br />~~ <br />LJ <br />Background: <br />Among other responsibilities, the Roseville Human Rights Commission seeks to promote a <br />positive human rights climate in the community through public education. Most recently the <br />Commission held two public forums to discuss the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attack. <br />The Commission also sponsors an annual Essay Contest to encourage Roseville youth to <br />consider Human Rights issues. <br />The St. Paul Foundation issued a Request for Proposals (RFPs) for groups who wish to take <br />action towards reducing racism. Members of the Human Rights Commission have met with and <br />obtained support from the Cultural Diversity Coordinator of the Roseville Area Schools (RAS) <br />about working with a school to facilitate students creating a play that addresses racism. <br />According to RAS staff, 20% of students at RAS are students of color, among the highest <br />percentage in suburban schools. Commission members also talked with staff at several acting <br />companies about the project and there is interest in partnering in such a project. <br />Financial Implications: <br />The Human Rights Commission has a small budget to conduct business through the year. The <br />Commission wants to apply for one time funding through the St. Paul Foundation to work <br />directly with area youth to address racism. The City of Roseville would be the fiscal agent for <br />the grant, and all moneys would be specifically used to fund the project which would be <br />completed in 2003. The RFP is due on September 20. <br />Council Action Requested: <br />The Human Rights Commission seeks approval to apply for a one time St. Paul Foundation <br />Grant to establish an educational program that addresses racism. <br />
