A. Presentation by Public Safety Education Specialist Sara Cwayna
Ms. Cwayna gave a presentation on the diversity initiative created by the Plymouth Fire
and Police Departments that began in 2005. She stated that it was a collaborative project
involving many staff members, law enforcement agencies, and local businesses They
conducted a national search for safety literature in other languages. Using these
resources, over 200 safety folders were created and distributed.
'r�
As a result of materials varying by language, a Welcome to Plymouth packet was
developed that provided uniform information in all languages. These were created in
Russian, Somali, and Spanish. She stated that staff is currently working on a
downloadable version of the welcome packets on the city website.
Ms. Cwayna stated that staff is in the process of developing a children's activity book
that provides information on 9-1-1, crime, fire and injury prevention. This book will also
be translated into Russian, Somali, and Spanish.
Ms. Cwayna distributed a handout on Internet Safety that is sponsored by the Boys and
Girls Clubs of America and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. She
felt the program was a good resource for parents, teachers, law enforcement officials,
children and teens.
B. Presentation by Judy Reinher
Ms. Reinher introduced herself to the commission as the regional representative for the
LMNHRC. She outlined the materials that Commissioner Layton received as a guest at a
Hopkins Human Rights Commission meeting for the "This is My Home" presentation.
Ms. Reinher showed a DVD and guide materials created by the Youth for Human Rights
International as well as a special edition video on what human rights are titled UNITED.
She also showed video from the United Nations Youth Summit.
Ms. Reinher stated that she is hoping through grant funds they will be able to provide gift
kits for elementary schools and will be able to incorporate these materials into the social
studies curriculum of schools.
Ms. Rehnher then asked for opinions on the videos they had watched. Chair Adams -Drew
stated that she did not care for the stereotypical way they portrayed bullying on the
basketball court in the United video. She was supportive of the 30 Rights -30 Ads video.
She was also supportive of the color scheme used for the materials as she thought they
bring a sense of seriousness to the topic of human rights.
Ms. Reinher thanked the commission for their time and asked to be sent any information
on upcoming events.

would have a speaker from AARP.
Plymouth Human Rights Commission
Minutes of November 2, 2006
The connnission discussed having the speakers talk about pre -arranged questions but felt
it would be better to leave it as an open question and answer. Commissioner Fraedrich
would like to see each topic focus on how it is related to human rights.
The commission then discussed how to set up the ballroom and the kind of refreshments
to be served.
Chair Adams -Drew indicated that she would be willing to give the opening address but
she would like Commissioner Layton to be available if she is unable to attend.
B. League of Human Rights Commissions Representative
Commissioner Fraedrich reported she was asked to represent the Plymouth Human
Rights Commission as the representative to the League of Minnesota Human Rights
Commissions. She said she was willing to do so but felt it may be more appropriate to
have a city —appointed resident living within Plymouth rather than a school -appointed
representative. Chairs Adams -Drew stated that since there have been no other volunteers
and the commission needs to maintain support and communication with the League she
would like to see an official motion made.
It was motioned by Commissioner Bobra, seconded by Chair Adams -Drew, to appoint
Commissioner Fraedrich to the League of Human Rights Commissions as the
representative for the Plymouth Human Rights Commission.

DATE: January 3, 2007
TO: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager
FROM: Eric J. Blank, Director, Parks and Recreation C-�--�
SUBJECT: Banner Competition
Laurie, this is just a follow-up memo on our discussion at a staff meeting a few weeks ago with
regards to banners for the downtown area. Karol Greupner, in conjunction with the Fine Arts
Council, has proposed to copy a program which originated in Laguna Beach, California, to
secure original artwork banners for downtown Plymouth. Depending on the number of entries we
get this first year, we would anticipate it would take two to three years to secure banners for all
of Plymouth Boulevard.
I have attached the information that the Arts Council and Karol have provided for Council's
information also. Karol and I would be happy to meet and discuss this project further with any
staff or council members that might be interested. Based on our conversation I have given Karol
the green light, and she will start the process for soliciting the banner program.
