Commission Disability Internet Webpage (Chair Lord-Hausman/Secretary Akil): This item is on hold due to on-going funding and budgeting issues. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS There was no staff communications. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS/NON-AGENDA ITEMS 1. Commissioner Berger informed the CDI that her term is expiring on June 30th and that she will not renew. She suggested that the CDI could go back to meeting at 6:30 P.M. and that the CDI should also consider a name change to Commission on Accessibility Issues. Commissioner Krongold responded that the word disability should stay in the name. Secretary Akil stated that the Bylaws reference the word disability throughout that document which would require review if the Commission name was changed. Chair Lord-Hausman stated that she met an able-bodied individual who was not comfortable with the word disability because she was not disabled and the term makes her think that she would not be qualified to apply for the Commission. Chair Lord-Hausman requested that this item be placed on the next agenda for discussion. 2. Chair Lord-Hausman stated that she did not attend the PAPCO meeting. 3. Chair Lord-Hausman asked if the CDI should invite Art Kurrasch, Chair of the Housing Commission to a CDI meeting to discuss ways the CDI and Housing Commission could work together, to which the CDI agreed. Chair Lord-Hausman will follow up with Mr. Kurrasch.
