Staff said the City Council packet includes a summary of each recommended grant and the funding amount, which commissioners may reference during any Council presentation. Commissioners who were unavailable on the June weekend noted they could attend the June 3 meeting instead; staff offered to provide a short clip of prior presentations so new presenters can prepare.

The commission also reported it will begin organizing a coalition of current and newly funded grantees. The coalition is intended to help grantees and the commission better understand how services fit together and to facilitate introductions and collaboration. Initial invitations will go to this term’s grant recipients, with the coalition later opened to outside participants; no specific dates for coalition meetings were finalized in the meeting.

Commissioners emphasized transparency changes made to the evaluation process this year and suggested presenters at the City Council meeting explain the commission’s process rather than repeating packet details.","The Human Rights Commission will forward its fiscal-year 2025 grant recommendations to the City Council for a June 3 meeting and expects to form a coalition of grant recipients for coordination and information-sharing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6153518,"Commission to staff Juneteenth table, bridal celebration and summer park events; shifts and materials discussed",574,432000,1006000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5492673-41078ef407b09eab09ac979f2b39adb9&start=432&end=1006","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5492673-41078ef407b09eab09ac979f2b39adb9/thumbnail_432000.jpg","/articles/6153518/Iowa-City/Johnson-County/Iowa/Commission-to-staff-Juneteenth-table-bridal-celebration-and-summer-park-events-shifts-and-materials-discussed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6153518-f534c0d41ff48a2a27e3e016bae26dce/orig.mp4?Expires=1771079464&Signature=QCC2-bF0EJngeSAIcIFlNE3H54VUqbQWqlwjncE4GH3A9QOBT~Uo~ZjwDzbOkXMtT9ok2AS5l5s2bUOntGe0auq5F2RpUtP91Upm1G~giSEbsdJMxQ7RqjK7L1m5dr7LbQlyfte5JBnDWV1e4Z3NGlFHUfkfLTW1TrEjY-63P9VIwh5iWdqaH~yGO1OSazZYFAkoiXgz34inzMBnG7jVTH2mD8nCAMByQEBAxs-jki~Q5c4xtPwro-e9sMsH3gdKP9fHYyVffRaY0bxMx1qAEKW71~XgZrvteOeDvn5VBA-aKyUEe0DmeiqDj7EJPJDdIQlsnO~TFrq2z5nDiVYNjQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The commission agreed to staff a table at the Juneteenth celebration on Thursday, June 19, and to participate in a bridal celebration occurring later that weekend. Commissioners discussed volunteer shifts, with a tentative plan for two shifts (noon–2 p.m. and 2–4 p.m.) to provide coverage without requiring anyone to staff an entire day.

Meeting discussion identified the Juneteenth site as the South Sixth District parking lot at 925 Highway 6 East; the event is presented by the Black Voices Project and includes a freedom walk, live performances, a fashion show, food and family activities. The agenda and flyer discussed in the meeting did not list firm times for vendor hours; staff said organizers need to provide exact hours and promotional material for city reposting.

For the bridal celebration the commission noted past staffing challenges — long days and materials running out — and suggested earlier relief shifts (for example, having a volunteer relieve the morning shift by about 2 p.m.). Commissioners reported the commission has two tables and about five chairs available from the office for events.

Commissioners were also invited to take outreach tables at Party in the Park, a city-sponsored weekly event that runs Thursdays from June 12 through Aug. 14 and rotates among neighborhood parks. Staff said they will circulate the event schedule and provide brochures and outreach materials to commissioners who volunteer to host a table in their local park.

The commission discussed inventory of yard signs and banners for Pride and other events; staff said a small number of yard signs remain available from last year and are held at the front desk (8 a.m.–5 p.m.). No formal vote was recorded on these outreach plans; commissioners generally signaled support and volunteered for shifts.","The commission agreed to staff outreach tables for Juneteenth (June 19) and a bridal celebration, coordinate volunteer shifts, and participate in the city’s Party in the Park series June 12–Aug. 14; event times and some logistics remain to be confirmed.",{"_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},6153522,"Human Rights Commission approves $250 sponsorship for Welcome Weekend pending itemized budget",90,166000,256000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5492673-41078ef407b09eab09ac979f2b39adb9&start=166&end=256","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5492673-41078ef407b09eab09ac979f2b39adb9/thumbnail_166000.jpg","/articles/6153522/Iowa-City/Johnson-County/Iowa/Human-Rights-Commission-approves-250-sponsorship-for-Welcome-Weekend-pending-itemized-budget","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6153522-6534981a5cb553e63c4ac296af06fc4e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771079464&Signature=nPfrQEodzgWfj5MfvazKKmjtAfcZa3SfJExpIJxSvA5f-VEL2zYtQYPnrJV~Rwgd7pRodwgypRCMJzb9JGK1odCCtDJxtKmBoi9WonN3PvTGCjFKU0NFUxIdwJNtLChLrOLuzqwc5bi3H-m8BL~09m1qwNVHvytmzKokEki6lSX2fgvsbULyVZXhAJC7cgYV3BKHMpGpXOsUHEZEIOgZaO8pImJt9rAdwHcezWbMgdD72bjOO~4q7h-4S-kX0HY8DwMrNNXrPTf9R6ZWLxn8dTEJdqrmbCA47UIiRwpHBS9kgXtmh61ZoxBg14b3fEMXH1IEfb9d03uX~aqmTZYNZQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Iowa City Human Rights Commission voted to approve a $250 sponsorship request for the Welcome Weekend committee’s September events, but made the approval conditional on the committee submitting an itemized budget.

Commissioners were presented a short description of Welcome Weekend, which organizers described as the committee’s third annual celebration of community diversity. The weekend will include an east-side block party, an outdoor multicultural service and free community meal, cultural displays, music and children’s activities at Mercer Park.

During discussion commissioners noted the application form indicated an itemized budget attachment was required but none was included in the packet. The commission’s motion to approve the $250 request specified that funding approval would be contingent on the submission of a reasonable, itemized event budget. The motion carried.

Commissioners also discussed nonfinancial ways the city and commission can support events. Staff said the city will promote events that receive city funding; the commission may also promote events it supports when organizers provide promotional materials directly to staff for reposting.

The Commission recorded no additional conditions on the award; staff will notify organizers that the sponsorship is approved pending submission of the requested budget detail.","Iowa City Human Rights Commission voted to approve a $250 sponsorship request for the Welcome Weekend event in September, contingent on receipt of an itemized budget from organizers.","actionData","errors"]
