Hello again, HRC Commissioners,
Just re-sending the communication below via City email as some of you aren’t familiar with my Catalyst email
and may have spammed me out (probably not an unwise choice সহ
Please see below and the attached.
See you this afternoon!
Thank you,

Hello Commissioners!
I’m excited to join you tomorrow evening for your strategic planning session. Thank you again for your time, and
commitment to an even better HRC.
Attached please find a few “in preparation” notes including three questions I ask that you give a few minutes thought
before we come together. (No need to respond to the questions beforehand; please just start thinking about them. We’ll
discuss as a group tomorrow evening.)
See you soon!
With much appreciation,
Dale

HRC Strategic Planning Fall 2020
Session #1: Visioning & Ideation
Friday November 20, 2020
For HRC Commissioners from Dale Magee
Why Doing This?
It’s an opportune time for HRC to pause and consider options for best service
to the community, enhancing its focus and strengthening its impact.
Reminder
As stated in the Bylaws:
“It is the purpose of the Human Relations Commission (HRC) to advise the
Council in its actions to create an environment within the City in which all
persons can enjoy equal rights and opportunities regardless of race, religion,
sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or physical, mental or economic
status. The Human Relations Commission shall make recommendations to
the City Council or the City Manager on how these social concerns and
human needs can best be addressed.”
Currently, HRC primarily facilitates this through managing the GIA and CDBG
grants.
In Preparation for the Session
You are NOT burdened this session with big decision-making – this session is
for assessing, considering, options, discussion, deliberation.
Please give some thought to (I’ll ask you each for your ideas during the
session):
1. What’s the ideal HRC? What does it DO? What’s the structure?
Operations? Where can it have the MOST impact? Do the MOST good?
Don’t hold back. If you were starting from scratch, how would you
design it?
2. What’s ONE thing you would really like to change about the HRC?
3. What’s ONE thing you MOST want the HRC to accomplish during your
tenure?
Just a thinkabout…
Plan to “The Fit”
This simple model is encouraged as a planning tool. As directions and
strategies are explored and decisions made, this can help maintain focus,
make priorities clear and manage resources.
The Fit: structure, activities, effort, decisions, pursuits, priorities, etc. should be
a “fit” of all three elements.
THE FIT
Mission / Purpose
What does HRC do?
Why does HRC exist?
Need / Demand
(external forces)
What is most needed?
Most Critical?
Resources /
Capability
(internal forces)
What are we capable of
doing?
What is best use of our
resources?
