not be able to attend a
A. Police department notification on Hate/bias crimes - The
chief apologized for not notifying us, on the hate/bias
crime. In the future he will forward a copy of the blue
form to us, but no names or addresses will be on it. He
cannot even send out a letter we would give him, due to
the data privacy act.
A question was asked concerning how other communities
get this information: paper, TV, word of mouth? It
slows our ability to respond in a timely manner, even
though Collins says that they don't come up very often.
B. HRC Review of Charitable Gambling requests - At the last
meeting we had talked about requests related to human
relations possibly being reviewed by our committee.
There presently is one request, and money is approved
quarterly.
A decision was made for city groups not to go out and
solicit funds, as then it might have to be regulated.
Banks are not included.
A decision was made not to become involved in the
approval of these requests for funds, but it was felt
that it would be nice to know what's being requested.
C. Review lists
1. Shelly - new lists of churches
2. Gail - new school mailing list and contact persons
3. Marie - she is still working on the fraternal/
business list. She needs some new ideas on who/where
to make contact.
D. Review of Diversity Award/Poster Contest materials-
The letter was reviewed, and one incorrect date was
changed. A discussion was made about making the date of
the poster contest and diversity award match, and this
was approved. Then, dates and wording had to be altered
again. It was felt that the cover letter should not be
two pages long. Sherrie will try to get the cover letter
all on one page, even if the bottom front paragraph has
to be removed.
E. Contact name and phone number for L.E.O. to assist
recruitment - Gail
Gail was able to provide the L.E.O. contact person and
phone number: Leslie Aboddie or Dave Greenman : 493-2802NorthWestCommissionLawEnforcementProject)
F. School Integration Project - Carol - no new information
G. Assign commission members to contact individual schoolforpostercontest - all.
All schools will receive the diversity award letter, but

requested to contact their schools between October 14
and the end of October. Ask: did they receive the
materials, any questions, who is assigned to do this,
give your name and phone number if they have any otherquestionslater.
H. Membership review - Pat Williamson and Shelly Strauss
will not be continuing on the commission after December.Pat has been on the commission for 12 years, and Shellyishavingconflictswithhercontinuingeducation. A
discussion was held concerning advertising for newmembers, and also those who applied in the past and were
not chosen will be contacted to see if they are stillinterested. (2 applications)
I. Gordon - Diversity Award donations - Gordon left
information with the bank concerning the purpose of our
request for funds. It was felt that the letter about the
poster contest could not go out until we have a definite
commitment for the money.
VI. New Business
A. October 3 meeting with the Mayor and Council - Marie
presented out1work calendar to the council. Theyexpressedappreciationforwhatwehavedone. They wereimpressedwiththecaliberofthecommitteemembers.
The Mayor suggested that we get the poster winners
matted so that they can be better displayed. It is
possible that in the future we could make use of the
craft room in the new community center.Other suggestions offered were: Maybe in the future we
could do some joint commission projects, we should lookintoputtingsomeofourinformationintoother
languages such as Spanish and Hmong, maybe a DARE-type
of program to do diversity in the schools, maybe
consider giving a free community center membership asanaward, or the whole class wins a trip to the center.Attending were Gail, Pat, Gordon, Marie, Mike, Sherrie.
B. Response to hate crimes - tabled until next time
VII. Reports
A. League - Pat, Gail, and Karla went to the annual meeting
on Sept. 24 . , and felt it was worthwhile. They attended
various available meetings. A good speaker was Robert
Terry, a local private consultant. Gail and Pat
collected some handouts and will bring them to the next
meeting to be copied.
B. City - The open house at the new community center was
very nice, and close to 500 people came. It was catered
