Commission Meeting Minutes <br /> March 8, 2011 <br /> Commissioner Grefenberg explained his suggestions for updating the 2009 <br /> framework. He said his proposed language recognized the goals the commission has <br /> achieved and builds on those goals. <br /> Commissioners discussed whether there should be specific strategies under the work <br /> plan. In particular, Commissioner Grefenberg recommended the HRC address Project <br /> 515, an effort to raise awareness about how same-sex couples are discriminated <br /> against under Minnesota law. Commissioner Grefenberg suggested the HRC pursue <br /> that rather than a domestic partner ordinance that Outfront Minnesota has been <br /> advocating. <br /> Carolyn Curti distributed a letter from Phil Duran, Legal Director of Outfront <br /> Minnesota, seeking Roseville?s passage of an ordinance. <br /> Commissioner Yates moved and Commissioner Kennedy seconded adoption of <br /> Commissioner Grefenberg?s proposed changes, but not the specific strategies. <br /> Commissioner Yates said she didn?t oppose the strategies, but she wanted a <br /> subcommittee to review and make recommendations. As an example, she said a <br /> subcommittee could review the Project 515 and Outfront Minnesota initiatives and <br /> then make recommendations to the full Commission. <br /> Motion to adopt the Strategic Plan Initiatives as amended passed unanimously <br /> (attached). <br /> Internal Affairs Committee Recommendations to Amend Strategic Plan 8 <br />
