Our page likes at the end of that period were 244, with us having 254 followers. Later in the report (Appendix B) you will also find a listing of all posts for Dec 1, 2020 to Dec 31, 2020, twenty-three in all. Commissioners have started providing content and thus far, no one has missed their opportunity to help broadcast the HRC cause. Thank you all! And thank you to those who provided more than one post for their week! The HRC working calendar has been updated to include some days of significance in the DEI world, so that you might have some ideas to feed your posts (copy provided with the Jan Meeting’s agenda). Use of those dates is entirely your choice. Chuck has added January’s HRC Meeting as an Event on FB and will continue adding our meetings each month. Tina, Chuck and I met with Beth Norviel, Communication Technology Director for St. Charles City, to get some input and information on our Page. Following is a summary of that conversation: 1. The best way to support the Posting approval process is as we are currently doing. All Commissioners are asked to continue to send suggested posts, via email, at least two- weeks prior to its publication, to Tina, Chuck and me. Please be sure to identify the specific date, or week, to be posted and we will get them posted on FB. 2. Beth supported the approach of making posts as the Page, as opposed to being done in a Commissioner’s name. It keeps the focus on the work and not the Commissioners. 3. Beth will work with Chuck on how to better draw people from the City FB Page over to the HRC FB Page. 4. In response to how we can boost engagement Beth suggested: a. Post consistently. b. Use videos and gifs/moving words. c. Get the Commissioners themselves to Share and Like the HRC posts. Page 1  Social Media & Marketing Subcommittee Report Website Tina, Chuck and I also spoke with Beth regarding our website. We provided this starter list of possible content we might include, some of which are already included: 1. Finalized Meeting Agendas. Minutes & Attachments 2. Overview of HRC for Public 3. HRC Commissioner List 4. HRC Contact Info 5. Ability to File Concern/Ask Question 6. MEI Public Info 7. Person of the Year Public Info 8. City Lights Public Info (for now) 9. Public Resources/Partner Sites/Education?? 10. Events 11. HRC Meeting Calendar 12. HRC History 13. HRC Accomplishments Beth provided a lot of detail regarding how we might approach the design and setup. Now that we have a better understanding of what is possible, the Social Media and Marketing Subcommittee will work with Beth to re-do the website. Lastly A big thank-you to Beth for spending her time and sharing her expertise. She was very supportive of the HRC and we look forward to working with her.

Because there is a lot on there, I color coded true action items (as opposed to informational). Copy of the calendar included with Meeting Packet  “Nothing about you, without you” is a phrase I frequently hear. I think it something I always want to remember as I sit on the HRC. While I might do my best to be an Ally, I can’t speak for people of different identities about how to best support them.  The St. Charles City Purchasing Manager has advised that Section 130.210, Financial Interest in City Contracts – Sales to City and Purchases from City of Surplus Property, states: “No elected official, appointed official or employee shall sell or barter anything to the City, or to a contractor to be supplied to the City, or be financially interested, directly or indirectly, in the sale to the City of any land, materials, supplies, equipment or services. Nothing herein shall prohibit an employment contract between the City and an employee.” An HRC Commissioner would be considered an Appointed Official per the above definition and therefore would not be eligible to sell goods/services to the City.
