CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-02-14 | 18 | ITEM 2-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES OF Wednesday, February 14, 2018 6:30 p.m. All: Aye. Beth Kenny: Any opposed? Jenn Barrett: Sorry, will there be, in the notes maybe a written list of who's assigned to watch us, so we know for reference? Beth Kenny: Yeah, I can send that out tomorrow to everybody via email. Jennifer Roloff: This is what we've put up at the retreat. Beth Kenny: Yes. Arnold Brillinger: Right. Beth Kenny: We'll get that out to you guys and, there's probably nothing to report because we're switching over. I'm going to move on to talking about our sub-committee and let you all know that Tony Lewis has resigned. He said he's just over-committed at this point. He is going to be getting a service dog, so that's another commitment. It's an exciting commitment but, he just felt like he wasn't able to attend enough. He does want to still be part of things and volunteered to work any fairs that we're doing and is interested in working on the sub-committee that is going to be looking at businesses in Alameda to see how they can be more accessible. We'll miss Tony but, he'll still be part of things, so we won't miss him that much. Item 5-B Election of New Commission Chair and Vice Chair Beth Kenny: Item 5B, Election of new commission Chair and Vice-Chair. If anybody would like to be Chair or Vice-Chair, I'd ask that you speak up now. I would ask that if anyone has specifics they nominate anyone. Commissioner or Vice-Chair Brillinger, you have been Vice-Chair, is it something that you are interested in continuing to do? Arnold Brillinger: Yes, I am at present. Is it like you can be a certain thing for two years or is there some kind of a limit? Beth Kenny: No, we do not have any limits in our by-laws as far as how long you can be Chair or Vice-Chair. Personally I would like to see somebody else be interested in being Chair. I am willing to do it, but I think it's good for everybody to kind of get the flavor, so I'll put that out there. Jenn Barrett: I'm fairly new, but I would be interested in maybe a Vice-Chair if you end up If you want to be Chair or. Beth Kenny: Great, yeah. I would like to nominate you as Vice-Chair then. Do I have a second? Jenny Linton: Second. 02/14/18 Page 18 of 24 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-02-14.pdf |
