CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-05-09 | 28 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MUTES OF Wednesday May 9, 2018 6:30 p.m. amazed by it also. It's just that I had never seen a playground like that. Anto Aghapekian: And just it occurred to me that one of the things we could do is maybe do the same presentation adding more, and then get on the Rec and Parks agenda and show them what could be done to make it accessible. That would be a big help. Beth Kenny: Thank you, Commissioner Aghapekian. So I have not attended a SSHRB meeting. What I do is I get their agendas and see if there's anything that I think is going to be of interest, and then I'll just go to that part of the meeting in the video. It's pretty easy to get through it if you can just go to the right agenda item that you want. But what I did see is Doug Biggs from the Alameda Point Collaborative did an amazing presentation to SSHRB about the potential housing going in down by Crab Cove for seniors and homeless people coming out of hospital. And I would really love to see him give that presentation to us because I think this is something that we could. If we can help in any way, I think this commission would probably be interested in that, especially given our focus, our talking about focusing more on people with mental health disability. I think there's a lot of overlap in who would be receiving some housing in this area. Laurie Kozisek: I've left him a phone message asking him to contact us about that. Beth Kenny: Great. So that's my report for SSHRB. A lot going on at council right now, and a lot going on with the school board right now. I haven't actually watched the school board meetings, but they're talking about consolidating the high schools, and I know there's a lot of issues around that, and I would love to find out how it would affect students with disabilities. That's neither here nor there at this point. I just wanted to put that out for you, Commissioner Roloff, for stepping in there. Jennifer Roloff: Yes, thank you. Beth Kenny: I'm sure you're aware of the possibility that Encinal High School might be closed. Jennifer Roloff: Yes. And then it all turns into one. In fact, I think that Encinal PTA is having a meeting on that tonight, and I'm here. 5-C Presentation for April 2018 meeting (which arrived too late to post last month) Link to further study: https://haasinstitute.berkeley.edu/search/node/disability Beth Kenny: 5C is a link to the presentation that we had at the April 11th meeting. Thank you for all who helped put that together because I was having a family emergency and there was some last minute issues. So we didn't get that on the agenda, but we put it on here so that everybody can have it on the agenda for this time. And now we'll go to agenda item six, staff communications. 6. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Laurie Kozisek: Thank you, Madam Chairman. The only comments I have are that for the 4th of July parade, we are going to have the Paratransit bus there, and I understand Arnold's going to be in it, and anyone else who wants to be in there and practice their queen wave, you're welcome to 05/30/18 Page 28 of 32 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-05-09.pdf |
