Martin will bring the evaluation and pledge to the City to get copied prior to the event. The City of Crystal may provide some off-duty police officers for security. Martin asked Commissioners to think about possible topics/issues that the HRCs could do as a joint program in the future. HRC members will be attending the April 7 City Council meeting to accept the Proclamation for Genocide Awareness and Prevention Month. Burris and Martin will attend the Council Meeting. Staff will provide a copy of the proclamation to bring to the event and also post on the website. May 14, 2015, HRC Conservations Planning Update: Blank Slate Theatre production of "bottom" and follow-up discussion Prior to the meeting the Commissioners toured the Perpich Center for Arts Education auditorium. Staff reported that Phelps contacted Armstrong and Hopkins High Schools and they will put information about the play on the school calendar and newsletter. Staff suggested that Phelps also notify Robbinsdale Cooper High School. Martin stated she provided information to the Crystal, New Hope and Robbinsdale Human Rights Commissions so they could distribute information about the play in their communities. The Commissioners discussed the capacity of the auditorium which is not to exceed 170. Some members expressed concern that depending upon the publicity, the event may exceed the capacity. Carlson stated that when she attended a previous meeting in the auditorium a small room was available for overflow. Commissioners had questions about publicity for the event (website, newsletter and Facebook). They questioned if the company is providing handbills and if the HRC is doing programs. Martin will request Phelps email Knauss an updated status of the plans so far and request that Knauss forward it on the Commissioners. The item will be added to the April 28, 2015, meeting for discussion.

The Commissioners asked how the HRC could be more effective in the community. Carlson stated that having the HRC attend the Citizen Academy may be helpful. She also suggested notifying the HRC about future job openings so they can forward the postings to different venues. The Commissioners thanked the Chief for the update. HRC By-law Changes Martin reviewed the by-law changes about the two year maximum term for the Chair and Vice-Chair and work plan. Motion by Commissioner Pristash, second by Commissioner Johnson to approve the by-law changes as presented. Motion carried 6-0. Meeting rules Martin reviewed some meeting rules for discussion and others were added: � Keep phones off or on mute or vibrate. If you have to take a phone call take it out of the room so it is not distracting. � If someone has something to say Commissioners should allow the person to finish their question or statement before interrupting them. � Commissioners should wait to be recognized by the Chair. � When a motion is made and voted on the Chair should say motion granted or motion denied. The Chair should be the last person to rule on the motion. Burt stated the Commission should decide how formal or informal they want to conduct their meetings. Most Commissions use a relaxed parliamentary procedure. Commissioner asked if a cheat sheet of Roberts's Rules is available and if they could be provided with an example. Martin will check with Knauss for an example. Commissioners discussed having an overview of Roberts's Rules and conduct during meetings. It was suggested that once a year in May the Commission will discuss how they would like to conduct meetings, state the ground rules for running meetings and review Commission conduct during meetings. Burt stated that staff will coordinate an annual training session for the Commission Chairs.

Ellen J. Kennedy, Ph. D., Executive Director of World Without Genocide, was the keynote speaker. Forty-nine people plus the planning committee members from the four commissions attended. Attendees included Mayors from Crystal (Jim Adams), New Hope (Kati Hemken) and Golden Valley (Shep Harris). City Council members Clausen and Snope from Golden Valley attended. Golden Valley and Robbinsdale passed resolutions proclaiming April as"Genocide Prevention and Awareness Month". The group is still trying to determine if New Hope and Crystal participated in this. A follow-up meeting with the planning committee is taking place in the next few weeks; participant response to the feedback questionnaire will be available after that meeting. All-in-all, it was a very successful event. The mayors, the presenter, and the committee members were very pleased with the turn-out and the content of the morning. Although Golden Valley HRC authorized spending up to $50 for refreshments, coffee and cookies for the event were donated by Byerly's in Golden Valley, so no funds were expended.
