Vice-chair Brillinger, we have you for another year. Arnold Brillinger: That's also a cost saving measure. [laughter] Kerry: That's right. The city thanks you. Okay, very good. That was nice and simple, thank you. I'm excited about it: I'm excited to work with you another year, Beth; and excited to work with you another year, Arnold. 5-B. Selection of a Retreat Date (City Staff)- Kerry: I have then another item for old business but it's really just regular business. We have agreed in our bylaws that we meet six times a year. As you know the selection of having it every even month of the year, on the second Wednesday has been very convenient for us, except that in August this room (Council Chambers) and it's technology and everything goes dark. We essentially don't support big meetings in this room in August. So that means we move our August meeting to a retreat. Now we had a retreat last year in January because we got it together to set a date I think in December. Kerry: But now we are up against looking at when to schedule the retreat for this year. I have put forward that March might be a good month. The retreat would be probably a morning, or a morning to afternoon, over at Mastick Senior Center in a classroom. That's where we did it last time and it worked nicely because we have all the conveniences there of a parking lot and restrooms and that sort 15 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2017-02-08.pdf |
