CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2009-07-27 | 3 | Commission on Disability Issues July y 27, 2009 Minutes Page 3 of 3 Commissioner Fort stated that Commissioner Krongold does make a good point. Consistency and uniformity with cities in the County of Alameda is important. Vice-Chair Moore stated that she does not have a problem with either word as long as the language connotes positive feelings. Chair Lord-Hausman recommended that everyone think about it, research and agendize for August. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS There were no staff communications. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS/NON-AGENDA ITEMS 1. Vice-Chair Moore spoke to the Director at Bananas and MEC (who work with families with disabilities) to get the name of the support group in our area. There is a big need for low- income families with disabilities who need transportation outside of their immediate area. Vice-Chair Moore will call back to follow up. 2. Chair Lord-Hausman spoke about PAPCO meeting she attended. Topics of discussion included elderly and the disabled inter-connecting in many ways, although the perception is that they are two separate groups. Chair Lord-Hausman suggested that the Commission begin thinking about elderly and disabled connections in Alameda. There was also discussion regarding crosswalk sensors. The meetings are the fourth Monday of every month. Vice-Chair Moore stated that we should find ways to bridge the gap between the elderly and the disabled.
