CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2008-10-27 | 2 | Commission on Disability Issues October 27, 2008 Minutes Page 2 of 4 Commissioner Kreitz stated that by having the fair the same day as the hospital fair, it would provide a wide array of booths for both disability and hospital issues. Commissioners Krongold and Kreitz identified the proposed workgroup members, which includes Commissioners Krongold and Kreitz, Jim Franz, American Red Cross; John McChan, Head of Disaster Task Force; Jerry Juhala, Disaster Registry; Chuck Scanlon, Volunteer for Police; Steve Wasson, Hospital Board; and Dale Lillard, Director, Alameda Recreation and Park Department. Commissioner Longley-Cook stated that all of the named individuals are already committed to the Hospital Fair. Vice-Chair Moore stated that people would not want to have to travel back and forth between the two fairs and that the CDI should not attempt to incorporate the fair with the Alameda Hospital Fair, or compete with it. Commissioner Berger stated that it is not a good idea to piggyback onto the Alameda Hospital Fair. Commissioner Krongold stated that the first workgroup meeting is scheduled to meet on December 1 and that an email was sent to Jane Chisaki to check availability for a meeting room. Commissioner Berger stated that the hospital fair attracts older age group individuals for health fair services specific to those types of needs. The CDI is looking for participation from the other end of the age group, including children, working parents and families with special needs. It may also not be a good idea to invite school districts to this type of fair. Commissioner Kreitz responded that all services are included for the fair, including ARPD and AFD Disaster Registry, just to name a few. Vice-chair Moore stated the CDI should not serve the same people twice, which include Alameda Hospital Fair participants. Vice-Chair Moore stated that the CDI needs to clarify whom they are trying to attract and define the purpose of this event. Commissioner Kreitz responded that the CDI fair would includes resources and services within the City of Alameda. Vice-chair Moore suggested that the Commissioners return to a future meeting with an individual list of services of what the City provides and possible themes for a fair for the Commission. Commissioner Krongold replied that suggestion would be included in the first work group discussion. Board Secretary Akil reminded the Commissioners that its main purpose is to raise G:\Lucretia)CommDisability\Minutes)2008\Minutes_Oct 27 7 2008.doc | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2008-10-27.pdf |
