CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2019-03-13 | 8 | ITEM 3-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, March 13, 2019, 6:30 PM talk about maybe setting that up. I unfortunately have work, so I wouldn't be able to attend. Jennifer Roloff: Yes. I was also thinking. Just since it's during business hours, if maybe Laurie could help if the city has a resource and she has a table that the city uses, if she could get there at 3:30 PM and stay till 5:00 PM or something. Liz Acord: I think Vice Chair's recommendation to connect everybody on email to Laurie to see what she can provide. I'm not sure what her calendar looks like off the top of my head, but I think it's a great question to ask and we'll provide support where we can. Jennifer Roloff: Okay. Thank you. Susan Deutsch: If there isn't a table, I definitely could just bring a folding table, a bridge table, to put the pamphlets on. Jenn Barrett: Okay, great. Thank you so much. Commissioner Morrison? Leslie Morrison: Nothing to report. Jenn Barrett: Okay. Commissioner Aghapekian? Anto Aghapekian: I really don't have much to report except for the Mastick Senior Center. I worked with the director over there in identifying hazardous conditions for people that are wheelchair bound, and we did a lot of remedial work. And my hats off to the director and her staff for following up and doing the work. And it's still a work in progress, but it's all in good direction. I'm very impressed with the work they're doing. Other than that, I don't have anything else to report. Jenn Barrett: Okay, great. Thank you. So I was in communication with Beth, had a great idea for my building accessibility and businesses plan. I'm going to reach out to the West End Business Association and then the Park Street Business Association and see if I can get on one of their agendas to talk to them about my initiative or our initiative to increase the accessibility in our local businesses. And then, Laurie had mentioned during our retreat, that there might be money available in order to advertise for this. So, that's definitely something I'm excited to look into further with Laurie. Unless anyone has anything else for Section 5A? Jennifer Roloff: Jenn, just to follow-up. Remind me when we had asked if the grant match for Facade could cover accessibility and Laurie came back and said, "No," and I said, "Can we push that a little bit?" And I think she was going to take that action item up. Jenn Barrett: I did get a contact for that, so I will definitely. Thank you for the reminder. I'm going to follow up with them as well. Jennifer Roloff: Okay, because that was our item, not Laurie's. Jenn Barrett: That would be awesome if we could get some grant money to further encourage 03/13/19 Page 8 of 28 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2019-03-13.pdf |
