She expressed satisfaction in the attendance and level of participati on of those attending. <br /> <br />Chair Singleton thanked Ms. Amar is and Ms. Singleton for coming, noting that the HRC needed <br />to have further discussion related to the budget and logistics before d eciding on another event. <br /> <br />Further discussion included the advantages in a ttracting participants from outside Roseville to <br />create visibility of the event as well as the H RC’s role in promoting the event; advantages of <br />involving other communities in cost-sharing and additional participation and media attention; <br />and the context of this event in the overal l purpose and strategic plan of the HRC. <br /> <br />Member Grefenberg moved, seconded by Memb er Jaeger, to estab lish an exploratory <br />subcommittee of Members McKenzie and Ofte lie and City Manager Malinen, chaired by <br />Member McKenzie, to explore the feasibility of the HRC sponsoring a 2009 Forum; to consider <br />financial resources available a nd potential co-sponsors; and to determine how and whom to <br />attract; with presentation of a dr aft plan, if applicable, to the fu ll HRC at their next meeting.
