CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-11-28 | 27 | ITEM 2-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, November 28, 2018, 6:30 PM Acting Chair Jenn Barrett: You can report it to me.And then I'll spread the word. Jennifer Roloff: Okay, thank you. That's all I have for today. Acting Chair Jenn Barrett: Thank you so much. Commissioner Deutsch. Susan Deutsch: So I went to the park and rec mission meeting, and I presented about inclusive playgrounds. I thought they were very receptive. I heard that they liked my presentation, just from somebody, randomly, who heard about it. So I think it really went well. They're, right now, in the process of re-doing Littlejohn Park, and that park is going to have some inclusive aspects to it, but it's not going to be totally inclusive; it's a small park. And I think they're going to be talking more as they re-do other parks and build other parks. They're going to be talking more about how they can make the playgrounds more inclusive from the conversations. So I could send out a copy of what their plans are, for Littlejohn Park, but you really can't tell from the picture, really.

Susan Duetsch: Yeah, they're really open to it for future Acting Chair Jenn Barrett: Oh, that's awesome, great.

Susan Deutsch: Thank you. I had that impression from them. Acting Chair Jenn Barrett: So Commissioner Morrison, just so you're aware that each year during our retreat, we have specific organizations or Commissions within the city that we all attend. And so during our retreat, we'll re-categorize who would like to be a representative for our commission and attend meetings or events, etcetera, so that the city knows that we're available as a resource and that we're able to get information from them and provide information to them, so it works out well. Leslie Morrison: Great. Looking forward to participating. Acting Chair Jenn Barrett: Great. Commissioner Anto. Anto Aghapekian: I don't have much. The city was very quiet, I guess it was maybe because after 03/13/19 Page 27 of 32 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-11-28.pdf |
