CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-02-14 | 21 | ITEM 2-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES OF Wednesday, February 14, 2018 6:30 p.m. Beth Kenny: And now, for staff communications. Laurie Kozisek: Thank you, Madam Chairman. Can you hear me? Beth Kenny: Yes. Laurie Kozisek: I can either talk or I can see you. I can't do both. I have two items, one is the email blast that I sent out this time about the meeting, I don't know if you noticed but I put a bunch of links in it, of alternate ways that you can see this particular event that we're having here, that you can do it by video live or video on TV or video tape delayed or a verbatim transcript. And I got feedback from one person who said, "That's great because of my disability I'm too tired to come in person but I would like to see what went on." And so, I would like to continue to do this. Laurie Kozisek: If anybody is out there, we'll put it on the website, and we'll try to do it in the next email blast. If you're not on the email blast, give me a call at 510-747-7930, ask for Laurie and I will put you on the email blast and then you'll be able to find out all the different ways that you can get this in an alternate way. The other thing I have to say is, the Public Works has a request to put a bond on the ballot coming up February 20th. And it's already in the agenda so you can go. Laurie Kozisek: You know how to go to City Council website and look at the agenda, you can see the whole program - it's already up there. We want to take out a bond so that we can do many millions of dollars-worth of projects for our infrastructure, some of which are kind of crumbling and need this extra help. That will include sidewalks, curb ramps, better streets, less flooding at intersections, and very importantly more ADA improvements inside of city buildings. So just keep an eye on that. The Public Works will be presenting it to the Council and if we get four out of five votes from the Council then it will be put on the ballot and voted on by the members of the public. So if you have any strong feelings about wanting better ADA compliance in the city buildings and on the streets, talk to your council member or, however it is you want to voice your interest. Can't really do it as an agenda item here because I forgot to put it on the agenda. But, take a look at the presentation and then let your council member know. Jenn Barrett: Would it go out on the November ballot if it passed the council? Laurie Kozisek: Yes. And so you'll have more chance to discuss it then but first we have to get it through the council members. 7. ANNOUNCEMENTS Beth Kenny: Next we'll move on to announcements. Does anyone have any announcements they'd like to make? Jennifer Roloff: Can I ask just a question to Laurie? Beth Kenny: Yes 02/14/18 Page 21 of 24 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-02-14.pdf |
