CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2009-01-26 | 2 | Commission on Disability Issues January 26, 2009 Minutes Page 2 of 3 Commissioner Fort stated that "free" can be misinterpreted. Vice-Chair Moore asked that if each organization offers free services, why not list them to which Commissioner Berger responded that not all of them provide free services, but instead work on a sliding scale. Commissioner Kreitz stated the next work group meeting is February 9 at which time the group will brain storm the matter further. Vice-Chair Moore suggested removing the use of the word "free" on the outline under Purpose. Vice-Chair Moore stated that the Commission should consider Starbucks for donations as they do a lot locally for the community. Chair Lord-Hausman stated that John McCahan from the Fair Steering Committee said that possibly food could be donated and there are other service organizations in Alameda that do in- kind monetary donations. Vice-Chair Moore agreed to remove the CDI out of the Sponsorship portion of the outline and to allow the American Red Cross to accept all in-kind monetary contributions. Chair Lord-Hausman suggested removing the word "monetary" from the outline under Sponsorship Commissioner Berger stated that the Social Services Human Relations Board (SSHRB) held the same kind of fair and someone should get a list of all of the participants from that fair. Commissioner Berger also suggested including the SSHRB in this event. Chair Lord-Hausman responded that the Development Services Department (DSD) recently hired a person to staff the SSHRB and Youth Collaborative and that she will talk with that individual about this issue. Commissioner Krongold stated that the Hospital is interested and she plans to meet with Jackie Krause, Services Manager of the Mastick Senior Center to receive their input. 2.
