CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2017-12-13 | 8 | Anto Aghapekian: Right. Arnold Brillinger: And I once went to one of the meetings and I say, "This used to be Alameda's best kept secret, the fact that it has a shuttle that's free for everyone and no one knows that it's happening." I've also told the person who deals with the different para-transit issues here in Alameda. Her name is Victoria Williams and her office is at Mastick and I told her, "One day I'm just going to take a handful of schedules and sit outside wherever, either at the library or at South Shore or whatever and say, 'Hey! Take a trip! Take a tour!" Kind of like Gilligan's tour. They had a three-hour tour. Well, this is just a one-hour tour. Take the tour and see where it goes on Tuesdays. Arnold Brillinger: Then Wednesday take another tour. And I'm just going to have them and just sit there and say, "Hey, here comes a bus now. You want to go? Get on. It's free." And they also have things that we're going to put in the movie theater, like It won't be a video, necessarily, but it'll be an advertising slide. Also, and just tell people about it. Just tell people about it. Thank you. Beth Kenny: Thank you. If nobody has any other commission or board reports Anto Aghapekian: I went to the Planning Board meeting, it was in September. And the main topic that they discussed was auxiliary units on your property. There was a lot of participation and opposition because the size of the addition they were talking about it, 1,000 square feet. And where 1,000 square feet is going to fit on the 100 lots that we have in Alameda is beyond me. But they're talking about it, and no resolutions were made. And at present, I don't know where it stands. But they were talking about it. We may get part of the zoning, to increase the number of available units, mostly rented. But that's what their planning. Beth Kenny: Thank you, Commissioner Aghapekian. Commissioner Hall? Lisa Hall: Hi. Yeah. I'd just like to say a little word about reaching out to the community for the Thanksgiving, Christ Church had its annual Thanksgiving dinner. And I'm very happy to see more disabled people and wheelchairs accessible. That was one way of reaching out to the whole community, but especially with our disabled people and our seniors. Also, Meals on Wheels served over 150 delivered meals on Thanksgiving Day to all those people that were shut-in or disabled or senior or whatever. It was with the meals there and the deliveries, they served almost 900 meals for our little Alameda community. That was a good thing. Good day. 6. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Beth Kenny: Great, thank you. Alright, so I am going to move on to staff communications. Agenda item number six. Laurie Kozisek: Okay. I want to remind everyone that the next meeting will be February 3rd, the retreat. If you have any dietary needs, let me know. Otherwise, you're probably going to get something like Subway. And then February 14th is a regular meeting, and if you have suggestions for agenda items, let me know or let Beth know. Just send it to me and I'll talk with Beth so that we have agenda items. Or if you think of any speakers, let us know. That's all I have. 12/12/17 Page 8 of 10 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2017-12-13.pdf |
