CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2017-04-12 | 25 | ITEM 2-B COMMISSION ON DISABILITY ISSUES MEETING MINUTES OF Wednesday, April 12, 2017 6:30 p.m. Arnold Brillinger: For the motion of this being the calendar for this year? Beth Kenny: Yes we did that vote. Yes. And then all of us said "Aye". So if the event committee has nothing else they want to report on. Lisa Hall: I just have one question, and maybe afterwards, but Kerry for submit application for the spring festival, you'll let me know what we have to do? Okay, thank you. Beth Kenny: And I want to thank the event committee for getting together and working on this. This is going to be great, and it's not only a great way to get out and meet people in the community but also, as we talked about in retreat, build relationships with other non-profits serving persons with disabilities. So, good work you guys, thanks. Alright, so Lisa Hall: And thank you Kerry for making this list us, it was just wonderful when we got there to put it together. Kerry Parker: As your Staff Liaison I am happy to put together lists like this and I'm happy to adjust it. If we decide that As I was listening to the group and no one was really expressing interest, let's say, in the Neptune Jam, it could be that that one is not one of the ones you visit every year. [background conversation] Kerry Parker: It's a big one. Let's pretend that, let's pretend that there's one big one that you choose not to, just for argument's sake. So this can just be modified on the fly, but this can be the structure of the year and we can reassess it every year. Beth Kenny: Yes and I would encourage all the commissioners to get involved in these events. We really need everybody to make it work. At something like the spring festival where it's eight hours, two days. That's not something that four people can handle, but it's a great opportunity, and you have a place to sit at a festival. Lisa Hall: That's right. Kerry Parker: Another thing to do might be to shorten the hours of the commission at any one of these. Arnold Brillinger: Right. Kerry Parker: So if you say well we can be there but we'll be there between noon and 2:00. That is within your rights too. Beth Kenny: Yes and I would suggest, and maybe Arnold you would know this too, from last year when we did the Art and Wine festival, it seemed like if we were going to cut hours, it would be better to cut them in the morning than it seems like as the fair goes on at night it gets a lot more traffic going on. So, just a suggestion. 05/24/17 Page 25 of 29 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2017-04-12.pdf |
