CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2016-10-12 | 17 | month and a half. So if we can get something organized next year, let's even say it's in August, and you send me an email, we can get a proclamation drawn up. We can take the model that you have, and we can make it into something that perhaps can get on the council agenda for next October 15th. I'm totally open to that. We just need to have a little bit more planning time. Elizabeth Kenny: Great. Yes, I think it would be wonderful, I definitely think the city would be open to having a proclamation for White Cane Day. Kerry Parker: Yes. Elizabeth Kenny: Great. So are there any other announcements? Arnold Brillinger: I received an email the other day, I don't know if all of you did or not, about BART is showing some of their new cars from the Fleet of the Future, and it is on the weekend of the 15th and 16th, also on the 29th and 30th. The four different places here in the East Bay, one of them is at the MacArthur Station on the 16th, from 11:00 to 4:00. And it's a good idea to go up there and see what the new BART cars look like. They've got three doors. They would like to have input from all kinds of people, as they already have, but as much feedback as possible is appreciated, and especially from the disabled community. That would be great. Elizabeth Kenny: Yes, I have heard some concerns from the disabled community regarding these, so it would be nice to be able to check them out in person. Thank you. Tony Lewis: Where is it going to be this weekend, Arnold? Arnold Brillinger: This weekend, I think that on Saturday, it's at Pleasant Hill. On Sunday, it's at the MacArthur Station. And then there's also one on the weekend of the 29th and 30th, there is one in Dublin/Pleasanton area. In fact, how about if I just forward the email to all the Commissioners? Alright? Elizabeth Kenny: Alright. Arnold Brillinger: And then if you see a date in there that you want to go and check them out, it's really interesting to go out to see them. Kerry Parker: You can forward it to me and I'd be happy to forward it to the listserv. Arnold Brillinger: Oh, that's what I'll do. Kerry, I'll send it to you and then Kerry Parker: Forward it on. Arnold Brillinger: Yes. Elizabeth Kenny: Great, thank you. Does anyone else have an announcement? Great. Then I think we are ready to adjourn this meeting. Thank you all very much. 8. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 8:12 p.m. Page | 17 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2016-10-12.pdf |
