STAFF COMMUNICATIONS 1. Commission Budget At the May meeting, the Commission inquired as to whether or not a budget exists for minor expenditures for activities. Secretary Akil contacted Ed Sommerauer, former Secretary, regarding past budget practices and Juelle Ann Boyer, Chief Finance Officer, to determine what, if any, budgets exist for other Boards and Commissions. Mr. Sommerauer indicated that there has never been a budget set aside for the Commission on Disability Issues and Ms. Boyer indicated that none of the City's Volunteer Boards or Commissions are funded, unless specifically earmarked by the Department that oversees it. Commissioner Kreitz asked ifit would be appropriate for the Board to seek grants. Chair Lord-Hausman responded that it may pose a conflict and Secretary Akil stated that the Commission would be responsible for accounting for those funds, not the City of Alameda or its staff. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS/NON-AGENDA ITEMS 1. San Francisco Mayor's Superfest: Commissioner Hakanson distributed information regarding the SF Mayor's Superfest.
