CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-05-09 | 29 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MUTES OF Wednesday May 9, 2018 6:30 p.m. contact me or Victoria. I think just contact me and I'll make sure that you get all the details so that you can be on there. The other thing is, we did all this work to move the schedule to the odd months of the year, not knowing that the Transportation Commission, which normally has their meeting on the fourth Wednesday of the month, doesn't like to do that in November because it interferes with Thanksgiving. So they moved it to the second Wednesday of the month, before we got it. And when I pointed that out, they said, "You're going to have to move yours." So you need to think about when you want to have it in November. And you can't act on it now because it's not an agenda item. But take a look at your calendars and see if you want to have it on the first or third Wednesday of the month for November, or just skip it, because we will have had enough meetings. So just keep that in mind for. Do you want me to put it on agenda item for next month? Beth Kenny: Yes. We can vote about that. Thank you very much. Lisa Hall: I just want to say something as far as Paratransit, I forgot. I guess it was Victoria that gave us the pink application for Paratransit and her business cards. So we had a whole pile that we gave out on Tuesday at the food bank. And I only put one at a time because many of the people come and just take one. But this made the people ask and it was wonderful. I said, "It's open to everyone that is a senior or disabled," and boom, it was like, "Oh, my dad, or my mom, or me," and it was like, "There you go". And I was like, "This is Here you go." So getting the word out again, a little more for people, so it was good. 7. ANNOUNCEMENTS Beth Kenny: Okay, that actually brings us to agenda item number seven, announcements. Commissioner Brillinger. Arnold Brillinger: Okay. Lisa, were those the schedules that you had? Lisa Hall: No, they were the actual applications. We have the schedules too, but the actual pink application that they have to fill out so they can get on the program. Arnold Brillinger: Oh, okay. Lisa Hall: And then her business card too, so if they had a question. Arnold Brillinger: Okay, because that's very important. We need to get as many people involved in the taxi program. Lisa Hall: Right. Arnold Brillinger: And also the MRTIP. Lisa Hall: Right. We have that on our bulletin at the church. We have them up there, free, free. Arnold Brillinger: Yes, because they're very good services. I've had a couple of people that I know that have used them just recently and they had nothing but good to say, compared to getting home 05/30/18 Page 29 of 32 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-05-09.pdf |
