The Boulder City Human Relations Committee meeting on June 21, 2025, focused on enhancing community dialogue and exploring new tools for engagement. A significant discussion centered around the potential involvement of city council members in informal dialogues, with concerns raised about the implications of public recording. Committee members suggested that these conversations could be more effective if conducted privately, allowing participants to share their experiences without the pressure of public scrutiny.

The meeting also introduced an innovative tool designed to facilitate discussions on various topics, including diversity. The creator of this tool, Dr. Ho, will provide training to the committee members, ensuring they are equipped to use it effectively. This tool can be utilized in different settings, such as family gatherings or team-building exercises, to foster understanding and dialogue.

Additionally, the committee addressed procedural matters regarding group meetings outside of regular sessions. Members were reminded that while small group discussions are permissible, they must adhere to notification protocols to ensure transparency and public participation.

Overall, the meeting underscored the committee's commitment to fostering open communication within the community while navigating the complexities of public engagement. The next steps involve implementing the new dialogue tool and establishing clear guidelines for future meetings.
