CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-05-09 | 17 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MUTES OF Wednesday May 9, 2018 6:30 p.m. community workshops. So if Wade wants to come and within the Commission want to provide input on the content of those workshops and helping do the outreach for those workshops to ensure that disability community is represented, that's one option. Patrick Peligri-O'Day: Another option is actual development of strategies. Well, one, we're going to look at what are the risks that we're facing, and there's a lot of insight that Alex has provided. I also want to say that Laurie knows a ton, and I was just talking to her. I learned a lot about things already. So getting that into the assessment of risks and getting that into the assessment of what strategies is the city actually going to set out for itself, and put dollars toward implementing upon the plan's completion. Those are all steps that currently exists in the process, that the Disability Commission, along with Alex and WID, if it works out, could provide an answer. Does that makes sense? Beth Kenny: Yes, thank you very much. Commissioner Brillinger. Arnold Brillinger: I was going to suggest that Patrick email Laurie whenever there are community meetings on this subject. And that he sends her the information. She'll send it out to us, and we try to get to as many as we can. And we won't, all seven of us, be at the same committee or same meeting, but at least there will be several people to put in some input. And we've got to remember that the whole idea of the disability needs to be included in the plan. We don't want to leave it out. Beth Kenny: Thank you. I think that along with Laurie sending out the information to us, she can also send it out to our listserv. We have community members who are part of our email listserv and we like to send out announcements to them. So this would be something that we could definitely send out that via listserv. At this point I am going to ask if anybody would be interested in being part of this subcommittee. Anto Aghapekian: Could you tell us what this subcommittee is going to do? Beth Kenny: Sure, it sounds like things are still fluid at this point, and so I can't give you a hard and fast of, this is exactly what it's going to do. But I think to start off with, people who would be available to be a point of contact for these two gentlemen and then coordinate with the going to these meetings. But also, when Patrick mentioned having a seat at the table where the policies and things are really being decided, I think it would be great if we could do that. I also respect the fact that we all have a lot going on. So I don't want to say we are 100% there. I would love to be there, but I know that we have other things going on in our lives as well. Jennifer Roloff: I'd be happy to be a point contact now if no one else is ready to commit, I can just take that on for now and work with Patrick and keep in touch with Alex, and maybe start some conversations with CASA and some of the other organizations in Alameda that are already underway. Beth Kenny: Thank you. Commissioner Roloff. Alex Ghenis: Thank you. 05/30/18 Page 17 of 32 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-05-09.pdf |
