CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2008-03-24 | 4 | Commission on Disability Issues March 24, 2008 Minutes Page 4 of 5 STAFF COMMUNICATIONS 1. Secretary Akil reminded the Commissioners that the draft ADA Transition Plan would be presented to the Commission at the April 28, 2008 meeting, which would include discussion of the Commission's 2006 ADA recommendations. A printed version of the draft Plan would be available for review in several City offices prior to the meeting date. More information will be mailed to the Commission several weeks prior to the April meeting date. 2. Secretary Akil distributed a draft version of the letter prepared by Commissioner Berger, which addresses State Budget cuts to local agencies that provide preventive healthcare services currently offered by the County. Chair Lord-Hausman suggested that the letter be addressed to the Social Services Human Relations Board (SSHRB) as it is currently reviewing health care services in the City of Alameda. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS/NON-AGENDA ITEMS 1. Eric Pung and a group of students from San Francisco State University stated they wanted to shoot a film at Alameda Point about a disabled student. They were notified by Mike Hampen, PM Realty (representing on behalf of the City), that they would be required to take out a permit for such a project, which would cost around $1,000.00. Mr. Pung stated that this is not a professional project, they are a crew between 15 to 20 people and there is no profit involved. They wanted to know if the CDI could offer any input on how they might proceed in light of the permit costs and other license agreement fees that would be imposed if filmed at Alameda Point. Secretary Akil stated that Mr. Hampen's notification was proper, as all requests for use of City property or facilities at Alameda Point must be conducted by an agreement. Chair Lord- Hausman suggested they contact Sue Russell with DSD as she is the City staff person in charge of the Film Commission. The USS Hornet is also an option for the student-group. 2. Commissioner Berger stated that she would like Public Works to require more accessible parking on Central Avenue between Oak and Walnut Streets for people attending performances at Kaufman Auditorium. Chair Lord-Hausman stated that the Alameda Civic light Opera (ACLO) should write a letter to Public Works and the City Council for this request. 3. Commissioner Longley-Cook stated that the accessible button on the doors at City Hall at the Oak Street entrance is not working. Secretary Akil responded that she would inform the Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department of this issue. 4. Chair Lord-Hausman stated that there will be an update on the progress of a potential accessibility web-page to the City's website on the next CDI agenda.
