Future of Human Rights & Engagement Structure
Summary
Edina hasn't had a human rights commission since its task force sunset in November 2025. Staff laid out three options — reinstate a commission, expand this commission's scope to equity and relations, or elevate the MAC's visibility — and commissioners leaned toward the latter two, favoring an equity lens across all commissions.
