Approval of Agenda Motion by Commissioner Yeager, seconded by Commissioner Martin to approve agenda as submitted. Carried 7-0. Approval of Meeting Minutes Motion by Commissioner Martin, seconded by Commissioner Burris to approve the September 25, 2018 meeting minutes as submitted. Carried 7-0. Old Business Second Annual MLK Literary Contest Update Santelices provided update to HRC that the Communications team had created a flyer and social media templates for the contest. Furthermore, staff sent the information to the school contacts compiled by Commissioner Mitchell, and will send a reminder the week of Thanksgiving. Staff will send the final version of the flyer to the Commissioners. Commissioner Martin requested details of the entry review process. Vice Chair Scott confirmed that the Commission agreed at a previous meeting to use the same rubric and review process as used in the 2017-2018 contest. Commissioner Peck will reach out to the community member who served on the review panel to gauge her interest in serving on the panel this year. At the next meeting the Commission will decide which HRC members will be on the review panel. MEETING MINUTES—Human Rights Commission 2 Bill Hobbs Award Update Santelices provided update that there have been three nominations for the Bill Hobbs Award. Santelices will bring the names and nomination forms to the November meeting. The Commission will review and vote at the November meeting, for presentation of the award at the December 18 Council meeting. Whv Treaties Matter Exhibit Update Staff reminded the Commission that there were two options for hosting this exhibit: 1) partake in the full application process, or 2) borrow the exhibit for a period of time from the MN Indian Affairs Council (without the full application). Commissioner Martin offered to speak with City Staff at Brookview to determine space availability in 2019. The Commission discussed the pros and cons of each option, and ultimately decided that if the space is available, it was likely best to work with the MN Indian Affairs Council to host the exhibit. Commissioner Mitchell reminded the Commission that the cities of Robbinsdale, New Hope, and Crystal may also be interested in partnering on this endeavor. Robbinsdale HRC will follow up with Commissioner Mitchell after their next meeting. Communications Update Commission members were asked to review the list of resources that Vice Chair Scott compiled for potential links on the HRC City webpage. The Commission agreed that the list was great, and discussed what types of resources should be included, either informational sites, or links to services and additional resources. Vice Chair Scott explained that her list was primarily created with human rights organization links. Commissioner Martin asked if there were any legal considerations. Staff members Cisneros and Santelices will review the policy and report back to the Commission at the November meeting. Prior to that meeting the Commissioners will review the list again, and come prepared to discuss at the next meeting. Green Card Youth Exhibit Update * Motion to add topic by Commissioner Martin at 6:49 pm, seconded by Commissioner Burris, and carried 7-0 (after initial approval of agenda). Commissioner Martin provided update to HRC that the GV Hennepin County Library may be willing to promote books during the month of December to coincide with the Green Card Youth Voices exhibit, and asked if the HRC should recommend a particular theme or string of books. The Commission discussed asking the library to use best judgement about a variety of topics that fit within the theme of the exhibit. Commissioners Mitchell and Scott suggested including books that relate to the immigrant communities local to Minnesota and titles that focus on individuals who moved to Minnesota for employment opportunities. Commissioner Martin also asked if the HRC wants to link the podcasts of two local business persons who interviewed immigrant business owners in the area. Commissioners Peck and Martin will check with the library to determine that possibility. New Business None.
