CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2017-02-08 | 17 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY ISSUES MEETING MINUTES OF Wednesday, February 8th, 2017 6:30 p.m. Commissioner Lewis: I don't have cable, so I don't know. Chair Kenny: Does anyone here have Channel 15, the local Alameda channel? Kerry: There's usually city public slides that run on that. So, let's say there's an event coming up, sometimes they'll show for an event. Let's say there's something about battery recycling. Sometimes that'll slide up. Commissioner Hall: I'm sorry, what was the question? About the channel? Commissioner Lewis: If there's any PSAs related to Alameda. We were talking about how we get the word out for these, and I'm fairly convinced that a lot of people don't really know or understand Paratransit, for instance. And I just thought that, I don't know, we could use this. So it'd be nice to have information on emergency preparedness, if you like information on shuttles, those kinds of things. I just don't know if that's how, like I said, I don't have cable, so I don't know. Chair Kenny: I can tell you in the time that I've been on the commission, we haven't utilized that, but I think that it's an excellent point and we can definitely find out more information about what's going on. Yeah, I understand what you're saying, especially with the conversation we had with Gail because that is important that what is offered is somehow publicized. Commissioner Lewis: Even in the Alameda Sun, how an ad could help education the public. That would pertain to residents. Like a little picture of a shuttle going around town, like you were saying in the branding, or whatever residents in Alameda are most paying attention to. Kerry: Yeah, and they've left already, but I think that if you have a suggestion for that team to address in their marketing push for the shuttle, go ahead and email me and I can forward it onto them. They would love to hear that sort of idea. Commissioner Lewis: Or just different things like we were saying like emergency preparedness. I like that! Commissioner Hall: Channel 15, I think, if I recall most the time it'll say like, "The city is offline now." It'll just be at the same spiel. Sometime I have seen it there is like slides, and flashes of I don't know and then you could be the very first to find out. Commissioner Lewis: It should be like movie trailers. Chair Kenny: We can put that on there. Right. I mean, why not? Commissioner Lewis: Like movie trailers, before the movie comes on before the council meeting or. Chair Kenny: Yeah. Right. I think that's an excellent idea. Arnold Brillinger: We could also do that kind of information at the theatre. Commissioner Lewis: Yeah. Right, because the theatre does a lot of city programs. They do advertise a lot of city stuff. 17 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2017-02-08.pdf |
