Roseville Human Rights Commission June 14, 2011 Draft Minutes Page 5 of 7 181 Commissioner McKenzie asked for more information about the Internal Affairs Committee 182 including why changing the name and how long the committee will be in place. 183 184 Chair Singleton said the new name reflects their purpose while Internal Affairs implies investigating 185 themselves. The Executive and Operations Committee will review bylaws and operating rules and 186 procedures. He recommends that it be a standing committee. 187 188 Commissioner Grefenberg distributed three additional motions, but said the committee would 189 address them at a future meeting. He suggested changing the name to Operations Committee and 190 recommended they consider ideas at a future meeting. 191 192 Motion of the committee: The Visions of Success Committee and Data Geeks Committee shall be 193 eliminated. 194 195 Commissioner McKenzie asked why the committee was recommending eliminating two 196 committees, and had they consider what the two committees had done. 197 198 Chair Singleton said it was because they created the committees at the training with Richard 199 Fursman and the names did not reflect their purpose. 200 201 City Manager Malinen suggested rather than eliminating they be renamed. 202 203 Chair Singleton said the Visions of Success Committee was charged with adopting a formal agenda 204 format, establish standing rules, develop opportunities for community to interact, establish a 205 transition for chair and vice-chair and develop an orientation process. He said he thought these were 206 operations committee tasks. 207 208 The Commission agreed to revisit the motion to rename the committees. 209 210 Motion of the committee: All committees are open to the participation of.any Human Rights 211 Commissioner. Attendance at the Human Rights Commission Meetings is mandatory. In the event a 212 Commissioner has two consecutive or three unexcused absences from the Human Rights 213 Commission meetings in one calendar year,the Human Rights Commission will submit to the 214 Roseville City Council a recommendation to formally address the attendance issue with the 215 Commissioner. An excused absence shall be defined as illness, family emergency, or other reason 216 deemed acceptable to the chair of the Commission. 217 218 Commissioner McKenzie reminded others that at times the work of a commission does not take 219 place at meetings, and if a commissioner follows through but does not make every meeting they are 220 still contributing. Motion prevailed unanimously. 221 222 Motion of the committee (as changed in the motion earlier in the meeting): In order to promote the 223 strategic plan of the Commission,the Chairperson or designee o.f the Chairperson shall have the 224 authority to make decisions implementing the approved strategic plan if a meeting of the full 225 Commission is not possible.
