CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2019-03-13 | 23 | ITEM 3-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, March 13, 2019, 6:30 PM Jenn Barrett: I also wanted to nominate Leslie. Leslie Morrison: Wow. What does the position of vice chair entail? Jenn Barrett: So, sorry. I'm sorry we didn't go over this further. So the vice chair basically would support the chair. If the chair is unable to attend a meeting, the vice chair steps in. If we get an email about a concern, Laurie gets an email about a concern, for instance, we had the woman who was stranded because her wheelchair didn't work anymore and so Laurie will reach out to the chair, but then if she needs additional assistance with that, she'll reach out to the vice chair as well. So it's basically just assisting with anything that the chair might need help with or that Laurie wants quick attention to. Say, like when the Census meeting occurred, because she didn't have much time to talk to Beth, she also included me in the email to see if either of us could attend. Leslie Morrison: And it's a one year term? Jenn Barrett: Yes. Both are one year terms. Leslie Morrison: Okay, I'll throw my hat in. Jenn Barrett: Okay. Are there any other nominations? Okay, so we will So just to be clear, if there's no second of a nomination are they still valid? Liz Acord: So I think what we would want to do is consider Commissioner Brillinger's self nomination as a motion and then call for a second and then approval and then if that motion were to fail, move on to the second motion. Jenn Barrett: Okay, thank you. Leslie Morrison: It just seems odd to me. That may be procedural, but you have two people who have been nominated, SO.. Liz Acord: I apologize, I am trying to navigate this the best that I can. I think what the commission could also do is make a separate and third motion if you will to say, "I will nominate. " For example, you could say, "I will nominate X and so move," and then you could call for a second on that motion. Failing having any instructions provided to me in the 11th hour before this meeting, that's what I would see happening. Susan Deutsch: Can we make a motion to have some sort of a vote that's private? Leslie Morrison: I don't think that this is a motion, this is a nomination. I think that we're confusing the terms. So, you have vacant positions and you have people that are nominated and then you call for a vote of the people that have been nominated. It's different than a motion. Liz Acord: Okay. 03/13/19 Page 23 of 28 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2019-03-13.pdf |
