CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2017-04-12 | 20 | ITEM 2-B COMMISSION ON DISABILITY ISSUES MEETING MINUTES OF Wednesday, April 12, 2017 6:30 p.m. everybody. The next thing that we will talk about is Lisa Hall: Can I just ask one quick question? Beth Kenny: Sure. Lisa Hall: Just to get why you guys wanted to keep issues. Wondered why not change for us? Jenny Linton: Not to change it. I don't like change. Arnold Brillinger: Okay, my reason was I didn't see the reason, necessarily, for the change. There are other commissions in the East Bay. Like in Oakland and Berkley, they are called the Mayor's Commission On Disabled People. And so I saw the disabled visibility issues, kind of, took care of that too. Not that we have issues, necessarily, but issues that deal with disabilities. Jenny Linton: Happy to support the name change. I'm happy to support the name change. Lisa Hall: There you go. Thank you, I just, I was curious, right? I knew you guys had reasons, I just, why? Yes. 5-A CDI Bylaws - Retreat Edit Beth Kenny: The next item is the CDI bylaws. We talked about this at the retreat, of making it so that the Commissioner Liaisons could go before the different groups that they're assigned to and identify themselves as a member of The Commission on Disability Issues and let them know that they will act as Liaison. Let me read it out loud for everybody. The proposed change. Actually, it's not a change, it's an addition into our bylaws. Nothing is going to be removed. If we put this through it would be an addition. "Each commission member will be assigned to act as a liaison between CDI and another Alameda Board or Commission. As liaison, commission members should identify themselves as Liaison from this Commission. The liaison will act as point person between the commission and his or her assigned commission board. In this role, the commission member will alert CDI if there are any items that his or her assigned commission or board are or will be working on that may effect persons with disabilities. The commission members should make his or her report during Old Business portion of the commission meetings." Arnold Brillinger: I move to accept the addition to the bylaws Beth Kenny: I'll second the move for a vote. All in favor of the addition to the bylaws? Susan Deutsch: Aye Beth Kenny: Aye. Jenny Linton: Aye. Lisa Hall: Aye. 05/24/17 Page 20 of 29 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2017-04-12.pdf |
