CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-09-12 | 9 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday September 12, 2018 6:30 p.m. Commissioner Lisa Hall: Absolutely. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Okay. Doug Biggs: And I think there are going to be a lot of community outreach opportunities. The most important thing and I think I told this to SSHRB as well, but Alameda talks about this, everyone belongs here. And so, reinforcing that message through this project I think is important. We're hoping to have a community event, a community day at the site in November. We haven't fixed the date yet, as soon we do I'll let you know. But having commission members there, and maybe agreeing to kind of co-host it. Having you and SSHRB and some of the churches that have expressed an interest, and being listed as co-host of the Community Outreach Day I think would be wonderful. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Okay, great. Then I propose that we take a vote on this. All in favor? All: Aye. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Any opposed? Alright. Doug Biggs: Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Thank you very much. I really appreciate this, Doug. Thank you. Doug Biggs: Alright, Thank you. Goodnight. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Goodnight. 5. OLD BUSINESS 5-A Commission and Board Liaison Reports (All Commissioners) Chair Elizabeth Kenny: So I think that is the end of item 4A, and we move on to old business, Agenda Item Five. And we need to go through our commission board and liaison reports. Commissioner Brillinger? Commissioner Arnold Brillinger: Okay. I've been going to various commissions around in the East Bay. And Oakland, their commission is involved in a number of things: One is in dealing with the aging and getting them involved in activities happening in the city. Whether it's by making sure that they've got transportation or making sure that they have the options. Because you don't want to just sit in your house and be there for the rest of your life. So they are also thinking about different ways of involving people. Also they are discussing people using the placards for disabled, the blue placards and abusing that privilege. And so, I'm just letting you know that that's one of the things that they're discussing. And so I had one more thing I was going to say and I don't remember exactly what it is, maybe it would come to me later. 09/12/18 Page 9 of 16 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-09-12.pdf |
