IV_ Old Business
A Welcome to new members Two new members were present for their first meeting:
Jim Bartingale and Cheryl Johnson. All present introduced themselves_ We're glad to
have rim and Cheryl join us and for our commission to be at full membership.
B_Elect secretary: The chair, Carol Cud; opened nominations for secretary_ The
members were reminded that Katie had agreed to be secretary, although she wouldn't
be at this meeting. We accepted her offer, but needed someone to take minutes for
thic meeting Lynne agreed to do so.
C.Entertainment for open house/National Night Out Colleen has been negotiating with
DrumPac for a performance. They want a fee of$750 and we don't have a budget to
cover that. She suggested that they could set up a display in the community center as a
marketing tool that may bring in more business for them. Any performances would occur
in the theater. A mariachi group has also been contacted. Their rates are$175/hour for a
minimum of two hours. They would do a 30 minute performance and also stroll around
Colleen will continue to negotiate and look for financing for one of these groups.
V.New Business
A Commission in-service options: Lynne spoke with Alma Curry, who could offer a
program that would serve as a foundation on diversity training. She also could offer
something more specific if asked to do so. Colleen reported that we could have the
city attorney,Pat Kelly, do a program on mediation and Song Lo Fawcett could speak
on Hmong culture Song is an attorney in Pat's office and is Hmongg_ The cost of doing
this would come from the city manager's budget. Colleen also spoke with the World of
Difference organization_ They have a program, `Dynamics of Prejudice—Building Bridges
to the Community_" This would cost$100.
The group felt that we would lice to have two programs, one in May and one in June.
Gordy moved that we have the mediation/Hmong culture program in May. Cheryl
seconded this and it was passed_ After we learned that the World of Difference program
was available in May for sure but uncertain of their availability in June,Lynne moved to
switch Pat and Song to June and invite World of Difference for May. This was seconded
by Jim and passed.Due to the need to address some business at the next two meetings and
also to have enough time to offer the in-services,Lynne moved to start the May meetings
at 6:30 and the in-services at 7 pm_ This was seconded and passed.
Sharon Cox,guest from the school district,interjected that the district was going to offer
diversity training and wanted to include community members where appropriate_ Exact
dates and times haven't been determined,but commission members who are able to attend
may do so. Sharon will try to bring more information at the next meeting.
B. Vote on posters and diversity award applications: There were two applications for the
diversity program award. Because we didn't get these before the meeting to review,we
agreed to read them and call Colleen with our choice. We had several posters to judge
(over 90)and proceeded to do so. The winners were from Edgerton,Presentation and the
Tri-District school_ Carol agreed to work on the certificate& Members were to contact
the schools they have been dealing with about awarding the certificates and prizes. A list
of the students names and their schools would be sent to the members.
VL Other business
Carol was going to talk about the dive'say training the schools were offering but Sharon
had already brought it up.
VII.Reports
