CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2016-10-12 | 2 | Lisa Hall: Thank you. I just want to say I'm happy to be here. I had a long successful career until 2012, when I finally became disabled after a few years of a bad accident. And my whole life changed. And it was very much of an eye opener to see the obstacles that people with disabilities, and seniors face. So, I wanted to see if I can help to do some good. I'm happy to be here. Elizabeth Kenny: Okay, thank you. Welcome. So next, did you want to talk about the new format for the minutes? Kerry Parker: Sure, but let's do any agenda changes. Elizabeth Kenny: Oh yes, sorry. I would like to make a motion that we change the agenda SO that Item 5B, review of Commission business, is moved up to just after oral communication, non-agenda items. Kerry Parker: Right after. Elizabeth Kenny: Oh, sorry. Yes. Right after 4A. Kerry Parker: Made a motion? Elizabeth Kenny: Yes, I have. Does anyone second that motion? S?: Second it. Elizabeth Kenny: All in favor? (All): Aye. Elizabeth Kenny: Any opposed? Great, thank you. (AGENDA ITEMS BELOW ARE IN ORDER AS DISCUSSED, BUT NUMBERED AS ON AGENDA) 2. MINUTES Elizabeth Kenny: So now we move on to the minutes and Kerry is going to tell us a little bit about the new format. Kerry Parker: I said I would mention this. So if you noticed when I posted the agenda, the minutes were done very differently than they have in the past. In the past, the minutes have been physically notes that I have written after a meeting, and put it together in the way that I saw how the meeting went, right? I paraphrased, I abbreviated a bit. But I tried to get the general flavor of the meeting in the minutes. This took a lot of time. And in order to reduce that time, we found an online service that can copy these minutes verbatim. So while it is a bit uncomfortable to see every cough and laugh, I mean I took a bunch of things out like that from the verbatim minutes, however it's all there. So it's not wrong, it's just it's now every single thing we say. So unless there any major objections to this new format, I think we're going to proceed with this. It saves administrative time on this Commission, which helps us have more time for more things in depth. So, that's my update. Page | 2 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2016-10-12.pdf |
