CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2017-04-12 | 23 | ITEM 2-B COMMISSION ON DISABILITY ISSUES MEETING MINUTES OF Wednesday, April 12, 2017 6:30 p.m. Beth Kenny: The Mastick Event is generally pretty small and can be handled by one person. Jenny Linton: Note that May 31st is a Wednesday. Our next event, the Neptune Jam on Webster Street, another big event, this is Father's Day weekend and we didn't assign ourselves anyone for that event yet. The Mayor's Fourth of July parade, Arnold took this one on. We have some great ideas around getting a Paratransit shuttle into the parade. Beth Kenny: When I was speaking with Stuart from the Independent Living Center, he was talking about they want to do something for the Fourth of July parade, and it would be great if we could do something in conjunction. He seemed open to the idea. Jenny Linton: Special Olympics is also part of the parade every year. Lisa Hall: Now that's always fun. Jenny Linton: Downtown Alameda Art and Wine Fair, we don't have a primary lead on that for July 29th and 30th. The Emanuel Lutheran Church Fair both Arnold and Lisa were interested in leading that. Lisa Hall: Arnold's going to lead that. Jenny Linton: For the commission, Lisa's going to lead it for the Food Bank. That's what we know it to mean, okay. Beth Kenny: So, are you guys suggesting that what we do all of these events? Is that Sorry, go ahead. Arnold Brillinger: I would like to say that we could divide these into small events and large events. The small events, like you said, take one or two people because they're only for three or four hours at a time and if we have the materials which Kerry has, I believe we can get a bag or a pouch or a box of goodies to take along that are for those people. The ones that are the big events, the three of them are the street fairs and the parade, we will need all of the commissioners to put in some time on that, and we ask for everyone's help with that. So I would like to make a motion. Now also if there are some events that you hear about that we should also be a part of and just send one or two people to it and to have a table and give out information we can add those to the list. But I would like to make a motion that we, as a commission, decide to participate in these on a yearly basis and then - that's the motion. Beth Kenny: So are you saying that we decide to vote on it? I'm sorry, I just need a little clarification. Are you suggesting that the vote that we would take would be for all the years or just for this year and then whatever else comes out? Arnold Brillinger: You see this, we're trying to get it so that we don't have to start again. Right? In January with a new list. We can add some more things to it as we have people who are interested in doing other resources and health fairs, whatever that we could put our information out. 05/24/17 Page 23 of 29 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2017-04-12.pdf |
