CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-11-28 | 31 | ITEM 2-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, November 28, 2018, 6:30 PM Acting Chair Jenn Barrett: And then she's the one who reported it, but I'm sure that it happens to people a lot more often than we know of. So I definitely want to take it seriously and look into it. Jennifer Roloff: Do we know, so if you actually call the fire department, they would say, "Sorry, no"? Acting Chair Jenn Barrett: That's what an email correspondence that Laurie had said, yeah. It's not part of their. Arnold Brillinger: They may show up though. I've had occasion where I was dropped off, and instead of turning right on the sidewalk, I went over on the grassy area, and it was right after a big rain, and if I would have kept on going, I would have gotten back to the sidewalk, but stupid me, I stopped for a moment, and then tried to get going again, and just dug a big old pit in the people's lawn. And in that case, I did call the fire department, they sent out some burly guys and they alley- ooped me back to the sidewalk. So, there are certain situations where they will, but in this one, I don't remember, it was some kind of a mechanical problem, I think. Laurie Kozisek: Madam Chairman, I believe in your case, Commissioner Arnold, it was a lift assist. They were getting you back up on your feet, so to speak. And they do that a lot. They do it every day with people. Whereas this person that contacted you and contacted us was in good health, but had a chair that wouldn't move, and so she essentially needed another way to get home. And so the staff got her out to the curb and got an Uber or something like that for her to get her home. So the fire department wouldn't have been able to drive her home. Acting Chair Jenn Barrett: Okay. So, it's understanding the differences of what is under their role, and then what is beyond their role that is the gap that we're missing. Does anyone have any further comments or announcements? Jennifer Roloff: I just wanted to remind everyone, or share that December 15th, between 10:00 AM and noon, and I believe it's rain or shine, is the dedication opening of Jean Sweeney Park. And if we can go there, I think it's great. Amy will be there from Parks and Rec, and I think it's always good we can have a presence. I plan to be there. 10:00 AM to noon, Jean Sweeney Park, on the 15th. And then, on a happy note, this Saturday, December 1st, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Feel Good Chiropractic on Central, Sensory Santa is taking appointments, and I think it's for children with sensory issues. So, there's no spotlights, no crowds, no extra noise, one-on-one quiet appointments, and I thought that was fantastic that our community was responding to needs of some of the children. So, they're still taking appointments. If anyone watching is interested, or spread the word. Acting Chair Jenn Barrett: That's awesome. 8. ADJOURNMENT Acting Chair Jenn Barrett: Okay, I'd like to do a motion to adjourn this meeting. Do I have a 03/13/19 Page 31 of 32 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-11-28.pdf |
