Recognition of Flight, LLC for Commission on Disability Issues Logo (Chair Kenny) Designers of CDI logo did the work with professionalism and thoughtfulness, 3 different logo designs, offered description of logo parts and visual meaning, and gave Commission recognition by offering their services. Chair Kenny offers certificate of appreciation. Representatives of Flight, Sam Kraesig and Michelle Farrell, accept certificate, thank Commission for opportunity. Vice-Chair Brillinger asks for write up of meaning of logo. Chair Kenny will send the presentation out to the new Commissioners. 4-D. Discuss Future Goals and Projects of CDI (Chair Kenny) Chair Kenny leads discussion, and talks about the example of the Recreation and Parks Department (ARPD) revealing that there was Accessibility Report developed for all ARPD facilities, and that it has not been fully explored or accessibility changes implemented. This is a perfect goal for the Commission. Could create a small workgroup to discuss priorities for the Accessibility Report. Chair Kenny mentions that Vice-Chair Brillinger's suggestions regarding the shuttle presence at events and the parade is another good example. Commissioner Wilkinson mentions that accessible playgrounds are planned for small parks. More that could be done for parking and accessibility at parks. Chair Kenny says that the presentation from the Transportation Planner tonight was good, and Vice- Chair Brillinger and Commissioner Lewis are slated to pay attention to the Transportation Commission. Chair Kenny says that Commission could put together a taskforce for this. Disability Employment Awareness Month in October - Commission has normally put up a street banner, and there was a Proclamation from the Mayor. Perhaps there could be a job fair, a brown bag lunch meeting, something more? Commissioner Deutsch said she was part of developing a resource fair several years ago, and hardly anyone showed up. So sometimes this sort of thing is a lot of work without much result. 5. OLD BUSINESS 6. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS 6-A.
