Financial Report <br />93 <br />94 Carolyn Curti reviewed the budget report, noting that the Commission's budget was $2,000, not <br />95 the $2,250 as previously reported. She also noted that the Bremer Foundation grants must be <br />96 spent by March 2011. <br />97 <br />98 Commissioner Oftelie moved and Commissioner Grefenberg seconded motion to accept the <br />99 committee report. Motion prevailed unanimously. <br />100 <br />101 4. Business Items <br />102 <br />103 4a. Participation in Rose Parade <br />104 <br />105 Curti explained that the Commission had reserved a vehicle in the June 21 Rose Parade. She <br />106 wanted a commitment from commissioners before inviting essay contest winners to participate. <br />107 Commissioner Oftelie said she was in the parade last year. The city provided a truck but she was <br />108 not able physically to climb into the truck. Two essay contest winners sat in the back of the <br />109 truck. Oftelie said there was no signage identifying the essay contest winners. <br />110 <br />111 Commissioners discussed the value of participating in the Rose Parade or whether there were <br />112 other ways to bring recognition to the commission. Curti said there are numerous community <br />113 events, especially during Rosefest in which the HRC could set up a booth. <br />114 <br />115 Other commissioners noted that they first learned about the HRC through the Rose Parade. <br />116 Several commissioners had conflicts with the parade day, but Commissioner Oftelie and Chair <br />117 Singleton agreed to ride in the parade. <br />118 <br />119 Commissioner Grefenberg moved and Commissioner Jaeger seconded motion that the HRC <br />120 participate in this year's Rosefest Parade. Motion prevailed unanimously. <br />121 <br />122 The Commission directed Curti to invite the essay contest winners to participate and to create <br />123 something identifying the essay contest winners. <br />124 <br />125 4b. Collaboration with Police Civil Service Commission <br />126 <br />127 Curti reviewed the question from the Police Civil Service Commission whether there are projects <br />128 on which the commissions could collaborate. Curti said the Police Civil Service Commission's <br />129 responsibilities are prescribed by state statute, and she has asked the city attorney to review <br />130 whether the commission is limited just to those responsibilities or whether they could expand <br />131 what they worked on. She suggested that the HRC discuss the topic with the City Council. <br />132 <br />133 Commissioners asked Curti to report back about collaboration at an upcoming meeting. <br />134 <br />
