CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2019-03-13 | 16 | ITEM 3-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, March 13, 2019, 6:30 PM it's been a work in progress for about a year-and-a-half. I could ask her how the ribbon cutting ceremony is being advertised. Jennifer Roloff: Yes, I'm just looking at her post, the city of Alameda thread now. And I know I saw it somewhere, I haven't seen it on hers. But if she hasn't yet, then we could send her a note saying, "Please publicize that someone from the Commission on Disability will be there and if you'd like more information." Leslie Morrison: And that the play structure is accessible to children who use wheelchairs. Jenn Barrett: Right. I think that's huge, is to not only announce that it's opening, but it's a new type of park. Leslie Morrison: Right. Jennifer Roloff: Right. And she might incorporate that in the existing announcement that she's going to put out. I think that would probably be the best. Leslie Morrison: And I didn't mean to put you on the spot with that, but I think that as these items come up for us to just think about is this something that could be pushed out through social media with a disability focus? And I was using that as an example of something that they're probably going to publicize so we should just be sure that they add our spin. Susan Deutsch: Yes, I agree. Jenn Barrett: Great. Okay, I'll make note of that to tell Laurie as well. Was there anything else that people had? Leslie Morrison: Well, just looking at the minutes, the other item that was captured in the minutes in addition to the items we already talked about was climate change. And I don't know if that sounds like that's something that this group has had a priority in previous years. It feels to me like addressing mental health services, homelessness, and the Census is going to be plenty for this year, but I just wanted to call people's attention to that was the other topic that was discussed in February. Jenn Barrett: There have been meetings on climate change. I went to one, I think, last year in the fall and definitely want to keep going to those as I hear about them. But I agree with you, I think that it's a lot this year. So I think that if I hear of them, I'm definitely going to try to attend. Were you in the sub-committee, Anto and Jennifer, maybe? Maybe it was just Beth and me and Anto. And so we'll definitely make sure we attend the meetings just so we know what's going on if there are more in the future. But thank you for bringing that up. Arnold Brillinger: One of the things that we need to do is we need to get more of the community engaged in what we're doing. I don't know how many people are watching us from home. How can we find out? Is there a way to find out? And can we get them to put in some input into these meetings to get their opinions heard too? 03/13/19 Page 16 of 28 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2019-03-13.pdf |
