CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2014-01-27 | 2 | Commission on Disability Issues January 27, 2014 Page 2 Commissioner Harp expressed concern about the wording in a section of the draft ordinance that seemed to require an applicant to supply personal medical information, to which Mr. Thomas confirmed that the City does not need medical information and will modify the language so it asks for details on the manner in which the accommodation would support an Activity of Daily Living or functional need. 5. OLD BUSINESS 5-B. Chair Lord-Hausman asked for an update regarding the Universal Design Ordinance. Mr. Thomas stated he's hoping to have it in front of the Planning Board in the Spring. 4. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) 4-A. Commissioner Tam nominated Commissioner Harp for Chair. Vice-Chair Deutsch seconded the nomination, which carried a unanimous vote - 7. Chair Lord-Hausman nominated Commissioner Wilkinson for Vice-Chair. Commissioner Fort seconded the nomination, which carried a unanimous vote - 7. 4-C. Ms. Payne presented the update and recommended changes to the Paratransit Program. Ms. Payne stated that it would be beneficial to increase ridership for both the shuttle and taxi programs so as to reduce the cost per rider or trip. Commissioner Harp asked if Mastick does any travel training to which Ms. Payne responded that there is a volunteer at Mastick who does informal training and there was a previous training done at Mastick. Commissioner Harp noted that some of the other cities in the county (e.g., Fremont) use funds to provide travel training for their programs, and also suggested following up with Anthem Blue Shield and Alameda Alliance, based on additions to the Medicare/Medicaid ridership reimbursement component that will be included in the Coordinated Care Initiative later this year. Chair Lord-Hausman noted that Alameda Alliance has been a co-sponsor for some of our outreach activities in the past. 5. OLD BUSINESS (Cont.) 5-A. Chair Lord-Hausman recommends the new Chair, and Vice-Chair review these objectives and that all Commissioners prepare to discuss our annual goals at the next meeting. 5-C. Commissioner Fort had no report. 5-D. Chair Lord-Hausman stated that the Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance will be presented at the February 10, 2014 Planning Board Meeting. | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2014-01-27.pdf |
