E. AGENDA:
1. Human Rights Day Recap
In the winter coat and non-perishable food drive, eight pieces of winter clothing and
12 non-perishable food items were donated. The Commission discussed that the
Human Rights Day event had good participation from the organizations invited.
However, there was a low turnout from residents at this event. Commission
Members started brainstorming on how the event could improve next year, such as
having a volunteer resource fair and partnering with the City of Roseville with their
volunteer resource fair or having service projects so residents can come together. In
addition, having a presentation like last year from the organization JustDeeds and
recording it for people who could not make it. The Commission also discussed ways
the City could improve its communication of the event and get the information out
sooner.
2. 2023 Snowstravaganza Discussion
Commission Members discussed postponing Snowstravaganza for 2023 to next year
due to low attendance from years past and using the money for this event in 2023. In
addition, the Commission discussed having the event at City Hall next year rather
than at Community Park because the Community Park building could be under
construction next year. Commission Members thought of touching a truck at City
Hall and an ice rink in front of City Hall on Larpenteur.
3. Describe Officer Duties and Announce Upcoming Officer Elections
The Commission is tasked with determining who they would nominate and elect for
the officer positions of Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, and Secretary at the next
Commission meeting.
