Housing resource fair: Staff said a housing resource fair will be held Saturday, April 26, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the North Boulder Recreation Center, 3170 Broadway. The event is organized by the City of Boulder, Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA) and Boulder Housing Partners; bilingual staff or interpretation services will be available and staff asked commissioners to share the flyer and encourage attendance.

Child Friendly Cities: Staff reported progress on the City of Boulder’s Child Friendly Cities initiative, a partnership with the nonprofit Growing Up Boulder and UNICEF. A youth-developed action plan on three priority areas will be presented to City Council in May; staff noted sale proceeds from the Broncos stadium several years ago are one possible source of one-time funding for implementation decisions to follow.

Recruitment: The boards and commissions recruitment cycle is reopening for a handful of bodies, including the Human Relations Commission. Staff said the commission will operate with four members until recruitment fills the vacant seat; a recruitment committee will meet later in April.

NAACP Boulder County: A commissioner reported that the local NAACP chapter emailed members and said it was dissolving. The commissioner cited a news report that described tensions between the chapter and the city and noted the national NAACP may have procedures that affect whether a local chapter can unilaterally dissolve. Commissioners said they would monitor coverage and provide updates when more information is available.

Other items: Staff said city councilors have expressed interest in a meet-and-greet dinner with the commission; staff will coordinate logistics and clarify scope before scheduling.

No formal motions were taken on these staff updates; staff said they will provide flyers and links and will follow up on recruitment and council outreach.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","4-15-25 Human Relations Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Staff announced a housing resource fair on April 26, a Child Friendly Cities youth action plan to go to council in May, a reopened recruitment round for HRC vacancies and reported limited information about the voluntary dissolution of the Boulder NAACP chapter.","taxTitle","Boulder, Boulder County, Colorado","taxId",3386,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6580473,"Human Relations Commission reviews revised commissioner manual; vote deferred to next meeting",1470,3487000,4957000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3086350-0db7b3dedb61f0cd2070f7984bfd6bd7&start=3487&end=4957","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3086350-0db7b3dedb61f0cd2070f7984bfd6bd7/thumbnail_3487000.jpg","/articles/6580473/Boulder/Boulder-County/Colorado/Human-Relations-Commission-reviews-revised-commissioner-manual-vote-deferred-to-next-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6580473-0e90f036e4beff59500f6ee1a4d62473/orig.mp4?Expires=1770487282&Signature=oMVRj3bfZkZ9-4SEu4S2zhLkf2EQ1HV7x5kF0gRKMNJrEnCjBG~124kg2gFVBdSS1N25aMlKsGE6W9wSyvzmBXTlQrF~AQijM5rNSoF172wQ40RQzb4R7-Nl-y6VBeaUwslaOaaozVNqgiXfatps4yCKdXXx-leVC0GhisftF5QVToy1kXTB-3FKvl7I~zyS6VD86~q8bhq57SR0T~9L~8CNEGQeCptGlVcVzVjiVv0RK4asfYtNGEL2XsNMJSO8EKG677lQtMlvNdEPY4Ez4FePzkd1iNpR0xGch1ruexvN96kxrYDhDyMkvqKHLccw3B4z1To0tsJiFnQi5ixZFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Human Relations Commission dedicated time on April 15 to review a revised commissioner manual staff circulated earlier in the week.

Staff thanked commissioners who reviewed the manual, including Emily, Elizabeth and Roberto; commissioners described the document as improved with updated practices for virtual meetings and clarified language. \"The things that I think are ... tangible ... just really making sure that even though we were putting different practices in place across the city for board and commission meetings ... we tend not to kind of post paper on doors and in buildings anymore,\" a staff member said.

Commissioners expressed broad support for approving the manual but ultimately agreed to revisit the document and vote at the next commission meeting so members could finish review. \"One more time, we will revisit the handbook at the next meeting. And at that point, we will vote to approve or continue the conversation,\" staff said.

Several commissioners proposed creating a two-page \"quick start\" summary for new members. Staff said they would support that effort if commissioners choose to pursue it and noted that any use of generative AI for city business must comply with the city’s recently adopted AI policy. \"The city does have, as of 5 days ago, a new policy regarding AI,\" a staff speaker said.

Action and next steps: Commissioners will continue to review the manual before the next meeting. Staff will circulate revised language and assist any subcommittee that volunteers to draft a condensed onboarding summary; the commission did not formally approve the manual at the April 15 meeting.","Commissioners reviewed a revised HRC onboarding manual, praised edits and agreed to revisit and vote at the next meeting.

Commissioner Carlos and others credited presenter Kara (first name used in transcript) for preparing thoroughly and making the session accessible. \"Kara was, like, above and beyond, incredible, came so prepared, and ready to go,\" a commissioner said.

Two members of the Boulder County sheriff's office attended and shared frontline experience, which commissioners said reinforced the real-world nature of the topic beyond slides. Commissioners and staff described post-event interactions in which attendees, including school program staff, asked presenters and sheriff personnel questions and discussed next steps.

Commissioners noted a direct outcome: a connection between the Lab presenters and the city’s family resource schools program to explore bringing the training to school staff. One commissioner said that a city staff member who works in family resource schools was in attendance and that conversations are underway about training school staff.

No formal vote or budget decision was taken at the April 15 commission meeting; commissioners said staff can explore costs and logistics if the commission chooses to sponsor or subsidize future trainings.","The commission reviewed a recent \"Lab to Combat Human Trafficking\" training that drew about 20 attendees, included Boulder County sheriff office members and produced follow-up connections with city family-resource schools staff.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6580482,"Boulder resident urges meeting with police and immigrant-rights groups after neighborhood reports fears about ICE",765,562000,1327000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3086350-0db7b3dedb61f0cd2070f7984bfd6bd7&start=562&end=1327","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3086350-0db7b3dedb61f0cd2070f7984bfd6bd7/thumbnail_562000.jpg","/articles/6580482/Boulder/Boulder-County/Colorado/Boulder-resident-urges-meeting-with-police-and-immigrant-rights-groups-after-neighborhood-reports-fears-about-ICE","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6580482-c72734bb0e3ab07bcfce559e202a78a5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770487282&Signature=OzM86t6h60I3pFQj~K2deMP-QxFYG5HFNZeXEoKENiGI6YoZsUuqTUP7XGyw7Dnwhdqz-Xk-IQA-Kh8yzPHY-TOHK2u8jzQMaMJRZXiMrp1vf~Zky1SMoVygDN9bhts32RmZQ8xMLd9Kl9oEncrl3s8DzSW5iGN7wWU0Xl1E-kL7X7CLcHnKnmqCzHF18EUXlhEb1Cha4gtAR5mrPKnnEO~4NO9ATEK-ER~qHJtw~5BfmpsQnLBtt7NL1ZvfDO7y289Htgryw7YSfu6xtEfqegV3gGNCR4q2r~hi-KHGb~bqsh~f9EHf9RLlhrsrAP1QIVp023PhNCoeS-FN0I8UhA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Boulder resident, Lorenzo Estaya, told the Human Relations Commission on April 15 that neighbors in his area are circulating rumors and are afraid to leave their homes because they believe local police are cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Commissioners discussed potential community responses, including holding a public meeting that would pair local police with a trusted immigrant-rights organization so residents could hear directly about police policy and \"know your rights\" information. Commissioner Emily (first name used in transcript) suggested inviting Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition or another local advocacy group to present alongside police to build trust. \"Having a combination of a trusted advocacy group along with the police might support community members in feeling like they would be safe,\" Emily said.

Commissioner Carlos (first name used in transcript) and others emphasized that outreach should be community-led and recommended small, person-to-person information sharing in addition to an event. Commissioners proposed simple materials — for example, a brief flyer police could bring to an event that explains the agency's relationship to ICE — and suggested that community hosts invite neighbors directly so residents feel safe attending. \"I fear that if somebody heard about some sort of event where the police were gonna come talk about immigration ... some of the similar rumors ... might still circulate,\" Emily said.

Commissioners and staff discussed practical steps without adopting a formal motion. Staff and commissioners agreed to follow up offline: contacting potential nonprofit partners, exploring formats (in-person or online), and assessing interpretation needs. No date or formal directive was set during the meeting.

Why it matters: Residents' trust in local institutions can affect willingness to report crimes, access services and participate in public life. Commission members framed the proposed activity as trust-building, not as an investigation of police policy.

What happened next: Commissioners asked staff to help facilitate connections and to discuss details with community leaders. Lorenzo and local commissioners will continue outreach; staff said they would assist in identifying partners and logistics. The commission did not make a formal decision or vote on any specific event at the April 15 meeting.","A resident raised neighborhood fears that police are sharing information with federal immigration authorities. Commissioners suggested pairing local law enforcement with trusted immigrant-rights organizations and exploring small outreach steps; no formal commission action was taken.","actionData","errors"]
