Committee approves 10 nominations to Minneapolis Commission on Civil Rights
Summary
The committee approved 10 nominations to fill vacancies on the Minneapolis Commission on Civil Rights, returning the commission to full membership; nominees include practicing attorneys and community residents from multiple wards.
Minnie Yervan, director of the complaint investigations division in the civil rights department, presented 10 nominations to fill vacancies on the Minneapolis Commission on Civil Rights.
Yervan said the commission—responsible for implementing and enforcing the city civil‑rights ordinance—has been in place for nearly 50 years and the nominations would fill 10 vacancies. She listed nominees and their wards, including attorney members and returning commissioners. Several councilmembers thanked applicants and highlighted select nominees’ qualifications.
The clerk reported no public speakers had signed up for the nominations. Chair Chavez moved approval and the motion carried (roll call tally not specified in the transcript excerpt). The newly nominated commissioners were present in the council chamber and acknowledged the committee.
