Moorhead Human Rights Commission schedules June workshop and reports on mayor's ad hoc committee
Summary
The Moorhead Human Rights Commission approved minutes, agreed to schedule a June workshop to work through its 2026 work plan, and received an update from a commissioner serving on the mayor's ad hoc committee addressing ICE-related activity and community resources; the Commission asked for a written list of ad hoc participants and will circulate a scheduling poll for the workshop.
The Moorhead Human Rights Commission opened at 5:00 p.m., conducted roll call and approved minutes from Feb. 18, 2026 before hearing presentations and reports.
Commissioners discussed replacing the regular June meeting with a posted workshop or "work clinic" to devote more time to the Commission's 2026 work plan. Members agreed to plan a June workshop and the Chair said a Doodle poll would be circulated so members could select a date and the meeting could be posted. No formal motion to change meeting frequency was required; the Commission agreed to proceed with scheduling and to post the session once a date is selected.
During reports and announcements, a commissioner serving as the Commission's council liaison provided an update on the mayor's recently formed ad hoc committee addressing ICE-related activity in the community. The liaison said the ad hoc group has begun meeting, includes diverse representation (she referenced the police chief, council members, the mayor and the city manager among participants), and is compiling resources and surveying organizations that provide community support so efforts are coordinated rather than duplicated. The liaison encouraged Commission members to send gap areas and suggestions by email so the ad hoc committee can include them in future discussions.
A member requested a written list of ad hoc committee participants; the liaison said Heather Nissers took verbatim notes at the ad hoc meeting and the Chair agreed to provide an updated written list and follow up by email. The meeting adjourned at 5:34 p.m.
Action recorded: the Chair called for and received a motion to approve the Feb. 18, 2026 meeting minutes; the transcript does not include a recorded roll-call tally, only that the meeting proceeded after the vote was called.
