CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-02-14 | 16 | ITEM 2-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES OF Wednesday, February 14, 2018 6:30 p.m. Victoria Williams: I did two presentations for their volunteers. I've started a couple of Friendly Visiting programs and been a Friendly Visitor myself in the past for many years. So I've spoken to their last year's group. Last year I spoke twice to the volunteers and their office is right next door to mine. So we have a really good policy. In fact a Friendly Visiting volunteer who thought the program was so great has offered to distribute some schedules for me. So she's become a schedule distributer too. So, you're right, that's a perfect match for us, thank you. And we need to work closer with Meals on Wheels. They know about us too. We haven't talked to their volunteers in a group. The director knows about us, but we haven't really talked to them as a group. So. Lisa Hall: Because they're the ones out there with the eyes and Victoria Williams: Exactly. Lisa Hall: And they will see and know some people that maybe can use some help. Victoria Williams: Thank you for that tip. Jenny Linton: Other groups that reach the developmentally disabled community in the area are The Regional Center of the East Bay, as well as Alameda Special Olympics. Beth Kenny: Are you at Mastick Senior Center? Is that where your office is? Victoria Williams: That's right. So, if we could have a hip hip hooray. What do we need? What do we need? Something that recommends what we're going to do? Support, I don't know what we call it. We've heard your support and we thank you very much. Beth Kenny: So, at this time, we can do a few things. We can vote to endorse this plan. We can vote to endorse it, asking them to take into consideration our comments, and that's what I would like to move to do is, this is a very well thought out and thorough plan, and I really like seeing those graphs going in the opposite direction because they weren't when I first started. Victoria Williams: We're happy about that, too. Beth Kenny: I move that we endorse the Transportation Plan presented to us tonight. And ask that our comments be interpreted and included whenever possible. Arnold Brillinger: Second. Beth Kenny: Alright, all in favor. All: Aye. Beth Kenny: Any opposed? It's unanimous. Victoria Williams: Thank you very much. 02/14/18 Page 16 of 24 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-02-14.pdf |
