7. 2021 Goals <br /> -The commission discussed possible goals for 2021. <br /> -Commissioner Ascheman advised the Commission of his recent conversation <br /> with Council Member Leifeld and the efforts underway to schedule a joint <br /> meeting between the Public Safety Committee of the City Council and the <br /> Commission. It is hoped that a joint meeting would facilitate an open <br /> discussion of ways the Commission could work with the Committee and the <br /> Council. One area of further discussion is whether the Commission could <br /> play a role in the City's ongoing efforts of equity, diversity and inclusion. <br /> Chief Schafer will continue to work on scheduling this joint meeting. <br /> -Commissioner Holmes raised as a possible goal for 2021 looking at its <br /> mission statement. Commissioner Holmes noted that this could help guide <br /> and direct the Commission on it ongoing activities. <br /> -Another possible goal may be to revisit the Commission's work on the Police <br /> Department's mission statement in light of recent events in Minnesota. The <br /> Commission could also look at the Fire Department's mission statement. <br /> -Another goal could be finding ways in which the Commission could adapt to <br /> the changes brought about by the pandemic to continue its efforts in <br /> community outreach for the police and fire departments. For example, <br /> planning a virtual police week/police open house event or planning a virtual <br /> National Night Out activities. <br /> 8.
