Update from Joint Human Riqhts Commissions Meetinq with Neiqhborinq Communities on Februarv 5, 2014 Chair Buttress was not able to attend the meeting and reached out to Anjie Flowers, Crystal HRC, who had coordinated the meeting to receive an update and he has not heard back from her yet. Consider Revisina the Apqroved 2014 Work Plan The City recently received media attention regarding a land use application to locate a school to serve mentally ill children in Golden Valley. During the discussion, a suggestion was brought up to direct the HRC to provide mental health awareness and education programs. Although the Council has not yet directed the HRC, it is likely that they will in the near future. To that end, the HRC proposed the following revisions to their Approved 2014 Work Plan: Human Rights Commission February 25,2014 Meeting Minutes Page 1 of 2 • postpone participation in the 2014 Gay Pride Festival to a future year • amend the HRC Conversations program to be centered on the theme of Mental Health Awareness and Education. Originally, the 2014 Work Plan had the Conversations theme around the issue of abuse. Possible ideas for mental health awareness and education HRC conversations: • Panelist ideas: AI and/or Franni Franken, NAMI, Touchstone Mental Health, parent panelist(s) from Deb Reisner's event, Homeward Bound; Washburn Center for Children • Viewing of TPT programs, Experiencing Mental Illness series It was the consensus of the HRC to coincide the May program (tentatively May 8)with National Children's Mental Health Awareness Week (May 2-8) and the October program (tentatively October 9) with Mental Illness Awareness Week (October 6-10). The HRC also agreed that one of the events should focus especially on youth. Communications C. Knauss provided the HRC with information that Deb Reisner had submitted her letter of resignation due to more responsibilities at her full-time job. With former Commissioner Reisner's resignation and Council Member Snope's election to the City Council, there are two vacancies on the HRC. Council Member Snope stated he will bring up the vacancies and the need to move forward with appointments to the HRC at the March 11 Council/Manager Meeting. Ad'�ourn Motion by Chair Buttress, second by Commissioner Johnson to adjourn the meeting at 8:15 pm. Motion carried 4-0. �� Follow-up Items: • Chair Buttress #o contact former HRC Gommission Deb Reisner on parent panelists. • Commissioner Burris to contact Helen Raleigh, retired Executive Director of Touchstone Mental Health, Inc., for possible resources and/or interest in facilitating a panel discussion. • Council Member Snope will contact Senator Franken's office for either Senator Franken or Franni Franken's availability. • Commissioner Johnson to contact Washburn Center for Children to see if they would be interested in serving a� a"panelist. • C. Knauss to contact TPT to inquire about purchasing DVD or how HRC would be able to use their programs during HRC Conversations events.

Grant applications addressing the following areas of need will take precedence in our decision making: Top Priorities Mental Health Seniors-especially transportation and isolation Secondary or Supporting Priorities Healthcare access&affordability Culturally sensitive care Connecting community resources Obesity concerns were also identified in the CHNA,but fewer funds are available in this area.We are open to proposals addressing other issues,but these will fall into a lower level of consideration.
