V. Goals for 2020 VI. Open Meeting Laws – Guest Soren (City Attorney) Statue that say all meetings need to be public. Its anticipate that meetings will be open to the public. We have right to modify the agenda and discuss anything we want Law is trying to protect against decisions or talk about business being made out of the public view. Most violations happen via email and reply all interactions. Social Media is the exception as long as its open to everyone – we shouldn’t plan to have discussion via that. Sub-committees are okay. Sub-committees are covered by open meeting law if its an on going meeting. But if its ad-hoc then its fine, limited duration. How about sharing info where no decision is being made? Stated that is fine. Google drive – where everything lives. meeting notes. Soren does not have an initial problem with but when opinions begin to be formed that’s what the problem. How do we store this. What ever HRC has access to that public needs to be able to access. Share with Darius all info/data. Initial reaction to having a google drive would be possibly okay, but without any conversation between folks. If we develop a set of criteria to guide us on what goes in the online database. If we create a process and we have Soren review. All staff monitoring need to be aware of it. As long as it is use a library then its fine, but if use for communication that’s where the problem is. The staff liaison should be the only one to add things to the data dump. The info that is gather – its important that everyone gets access to that same data. Encouraged to create timelines and timeframes for when things are submitted. DATA Practice Act Any and all info that a city comes into contact its presumed public. When conversations are happenings those are public conversations. Draft document are public in that draft form. Spreadsheet if they request we have to share it – but it does not need to be “public”. HRC will create a proposal and talk it over with Maria and Jacque from the city and then circle back to Soren. Where can we just place all of our things – data Two areas we need. 1 - Historical docs – Meeting minutes, bylaws 2 – Resources that people can contribute too. Things outside of standard meeting minutes, bylaws, etc. How do we get the info out to people in an efficient way? Maybe its worth our time to look at a sample City council Agenda, Mintues docs – easy to go on website. But What types of other documents would be fitted for the data repository. Motion to move the section goal review process to creating new goals to November and December. Motion passes Darius and Virginia and Paul share about pop ups. Eriks Bike shop join us for pop ups & Nice Ride Family Services Collab – bike Grant. Move to have Virginia go to middle school event and represent the HRC Family Services Collab The Red Lake vandalism – can we ask City council to make a denouncement of that action. In support of Red Lake. What should HRC be condemning vs not? Can we tie this into a broader initiative. When these things happen – what are we asking City council to do?
