Kerry Parker: I strongly suggest the Events Committee coordinate with Rochelle Wheeler about coordinating a shuttle, I think she discussed with me that if she had more lead time, she could figure it out in the budget, and to reserve that shuttle. So it's something for the Events Committee to talk to Rochelle about. Arnold Brillinger: Okay. Because with the shuttle being there, it would bring it to mind and people would say, "Why is that bus in the middle of the street?" Or whatever, and we could talk about, "Hey, this is a service here in the City of Alameda, use it." Elizabeth Kenny: I just want to thank you all, I think that it was a great event, and that you guys are really doing amazing work. There was so much information about different resources there. And yes, the people I talked with, some just had no idea about basic resources that are available. So I think this is very important, and Ilove your idea, Tony, to keep going, and going to these other events. What I would like to propose is that we take a vote to authorize the Event Committee to sign up for future events. You can ask us to volunteer with them, but if you hear events like the one at the middle school, or if Mastick is having an event, that you guys should sign us up and we'll still help, but I want you guys to have that autonomy. So that's what I propose, is that we give the Events Committee the autonomy to sign us up for different events. Do I have a second? Tony Lewis: Well, I would just like amend, just a little bit, because I really do want people from the committee not to feel that it's just this committee that will initiate these things. I think that we all hear about things, and are aware of different things are going on in the committee. And it doesn't have to be just the committee of three, because we're all on this Disability Commission. And I just really don't want it to turn into just three people. I'd like to see more people. Because I don't know everything that's happening in the city, and La Donna and Arnold don't know. But as a Committee, we really need to work together, and bring it up to the meetings, send out an email, whatever we can to really get things going. And if we need to setup an ad hoc committee to support it, that's my thought on it. Elizabeth Kenny: So, are you suggesting I'm just trying to understand what you're suggesting, that you don't want the Events Committee to be moving forward? Or you want Because we can't Tony Lewis: Well, that's just my thought. I don't know, Arnold and La Donna may have a different thought. La Donna Franco: No, I think we're on the same page about that, thank you for mentioning that. No, I would be more than happy to move forward. I think we spoke about adding possibly one more person to an Events Committee. So, just in case of emergency, or other needs that we might have, a person may be able to deliver materials and just be there as a fourth. Tony Lewis: Because it's a lot of work. Elizabeth Kenny: I think that's a great idea, yes. La Donna Franco: And that part did become, physically, a bit of work. Page | 8 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2016-10-12.pdf |
