Audrey Lord-Hausman: But yes, I commend you to keep the battle going, I hate to say battle, but it's time that this city stand up, become a leader, I absolutely agree, I would love to see Alameda held up as an example of a city who said, "You know, we're taking this seriously, and we are an aging population here, and we want to keep people here." And if we don't take that seriously, the city, the City Council, Planning Board, everybody doesn't stand up and say, "This is important, and we want to make it special, and we want to make sure that our people can stay here", then that's to everybody's credit. So I would keep working hard, and keep pursuing this. And I think that we can get people to support this as it comes together, and then for the final kind of overview with the Planning Board. Thank you. Beth Kenny: Thank you very much, Audrey. Alright, unless anyone else has anything to state on that item I'd like to move onto staff communications. 6. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Kerry Parker: Okay. So to say it again, we're going to cancel the August meeting in order to make room for this meeting in September. Because right now we have six meetings a year, plus the retreats. And we used to have just four meetings a year, even though sometimes those would be cancelled. So, trying to be frugal with how we use our meetings. So, we imagine that the joint meeting between the Planning Board and the CDI to be on September 26th, we'd normally schedule the Planning Board meeting. And that the Planning Board will probably sit up here, and the Commission on Disability Issues would sit out here. And that we would do a presentation of a final draft of the Universal Design Ordinance, that's our hope. And that there would be a vote up here, a vote over here. And that after that moment, it could go to Council. So, that's how we're kind of imagining, just so you are all aware. Beth Kenny: And I just want to point out, before that meeting, the work groups will have met with a draft of the ordinance. Kerry Parker: Yes. It will developed before that time, and you will probably be aware, either from emails from me, or an email from the group that would be publicly out there, that I guess the results of the subcommittee. You're going to be seeing that ordinance as it is being developed. So there's that. That was one item that I had, the other item that I had was an email that I sent to you regarding Form 700, and the Sunshine Ordinance Declaration. I brought extra copies tonight, so please, if you haven't submitted it to the City Clerk's office, come by, grab another form, and you can fill it out and hand it back to me, or you can mail it tomorrow, or whatever you'd like to do. But I tried to make it a little more convenient by bringing it in today. And the sooner we can get those back, the better. Kerry Parker: And then Oh, the luncheon that I forwarded to you, that I received from Jim Franz regarding the City of Alameda's Social Service Human Relations Board having a luncheon on June 22nd at the Alameda Free Library. I sent you an email about it, if you want more information, go ahead and email me or call me in Public Works and I can get you more information. They do request RSVP, but it's not required 08/17/16 Page 16 of 19 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2016-06-08.pdf |
