5. How is it that the CEC would like to make recommendation to Council regarding Task
Force Recommendations? If there are opportunities, how does the CEC move through
these? Is it ok for the CEC to provide recommendation Commissioners asked about
adhering more directly to the Falcon Heights Task Force (language). More so, by
providing this letter, staff and the CEC want direction on next steps. Possibly remove
“Science Museum” from letter… Move “training” and professional development away
from recommendations. “Promoting reconciliation…”. Exploring resources, etc… again,
taking language from Task Force Recommendations. Science Museum was considered

Inclusion”. Keep professional development to professionals, events to for residents.
