Wants to have community members to have convos around policing in SLP. City Council talking about policing in SLP at upcoming study session. Some HRC Members will tune in. Questions how can we stay in the loop better with what Council is doing – that may be more relevant to HRC? How can community members join us in efforts and move the ball forward? Is there evidence of disproportionate impacts on BIPOC? And who is requesting police reduction of budget. Is there already conversations that folks can join? Any convos around PD should be centering of BIPOC for that changing outcomes for folks most impacted. PAC commission exist Want to have convos outside of the police department. We are still trying to figure out what the HRC is trying to do, especially with new commissioners. What kind of data should we be advocating? Should we be connecting with ACLU around the work they are doing with HRC? V. Partnership with Community Ed How can HRC support Community Ed in gathering info and the work of community ed. Resource connection – coffee talks or virtual classes? Community Ed is doing data collection of their own. Community Ed wants to broaden its outreach, because they want to m ake sure they are serving all of SLP. Small business community has lots of resources, but not always easy to get connected.

Subcommittee will continue to meet and talk with Angie. VI. HRC leadership With Amaya moving to college – Emily will assume the role of chair due to her position as vice chair. Motion passed.
