Description
Disability Commission Advisory Board Meeting 3-13-2019
A
Good
evening,
everyone,
the
open
meeting
law,
requires
that
I
notify
the
public
that
this
meeting
is
being
recorded.
Therefore,
please
be
aware
that
an
audio
and
visual
recording
of
this
meeting
is
being
made
and
broadcast
by
Boston
City
TV,
which
is
a
part
of
the
city
of
Boston
office
of
cable
communications
and
now
I
hand
the
mic
over
to
Jarrett.
B
H
B
M
N
Yes,
I'd
like
to
just
add
that,
if
I'd
like
to
include
that
for
that
meeting
that
I
served
as
acting
chairs
that
the
terminology
or
yeah
as
acting
chair,
and
that
under
welcoming
councillor
Flynn,
that
I
had
requested
that
the
not
only
that
he
would
notify
that
we
would
that
the
board
would
be
given
as
much
advance
notice
prior
to
the
meeting
as
possible.
If
that
could
also
be
included.
N
B
O
K
So
tomorrow
is
independent
living
day
after
day
home
for
the
statewide
independent
living
centers
will
be
having
their
lobbying
day
next
Thursday
on
the
19th
is
blindness
legislative
information.
Networking
death
have
to
stay
housed
where
the
blind
community
will
be
having
their
advocacy
days,
and
we
have
set
up
this
day
house
for
that
day
to
be,
and
I
will
free
zone
for
blind
people
that
want
to
use
their
technology
and
their
phone
to
navigate
the
building
and
look
for
their
legislators.
K
So
you
can
download
the
app
to
your
phones
and
then
the
following
week
is
on
the
28th
is
deafblind
Awareness
Day,
where
the
deafblind
community
will
have
their
lobbying
day
at
the
Statehouse,
and
in
about
four
weeks
the
House
version
of
the
budget
will
be
released,
but
before
that
is
the
Ways
and
Means
here
and
I'm
April,
2nd,
where
the
public
can
come
and
testify
about
any
aspect
of
the
bills
that
they
wish
to
testify
in
Gardiner
auditorium
at
11:00
a.m.
on
April,
2nd.
K
You
know
the
budget
can
be
recent
three
four
weeks,
so
the
House
version
of
the
governor's
budget
will
be
releasing
three
four
weeks.
They'll
people
will
be
advocating
for
their
needs
in
the
budget,
and
so
just
when
they
go
to
visit
their
legislators
or
legislative,
aide
or
achiever
staff
and
just
talk
about
their
concerns
and
and
and
what
they
would
like
to
see
down
to
help
their
community
great.
D
D
So
I
I
just
heard
reason
just
yesterday
that
there
is
a
vacancy
for
a
new
council
member
and
Council,
which
we
call
MD,
DC
and
they're.
Looking
for
a
council
member
I'm
assuming
with
obesity,
someone
who
lives
in
Massachusetts
but
who
was
once
part-time,
it's
just
all
right,
Esther
I,
don't
know
how
far
down
for
the
process,
but
that's
what
they're
looking
for
and
regarding
filling
their
council
member
seats
and.
D
D
P
Q
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
I'm,
echoing,
and
thank
you
to
the
commissioner
and
to
the
Chairman
and
all
of
you
for
inviting
me
here
today,
I
thought,
I'd
I
was
asked
to
take
about
ten
minutes
to
walk
through
kind
of
advocacy
and
how
best
to
shape
public
policy
here
in
the
City
Council
at
in
City
Hall,
and
then
also
a
little
bit
up
at
the
Statehouse.
So
by
way
of
introduction
again,
my
name
is
Katie.
King
I
am
the
Deputy
Director
of
Mayor
Walsh's
office
of
intergovernmental
relations.
Q
I
know
this
group
there's
some
folks
who
have
been
advocates
for
decades
and
very
savvy
ones
and
then
other
folks
that
this
might
be
new.
For
so
I
will
just
try
to
speak
to
kind
of
the
101,
and
hopefully
you
could
get
something
useful
useful
out
of
it
and
I'll
give
some
examples
of
policies
that
either
the
mayor
has
prioritized
explicitly,
because
this
group
has
recommended
them
and
others
you
might
just
be
interested
in.
Q
So
I
will
start
with
who
we're
talking
about
so
here
at
the
local
level
in
City
Hall.
You
know
our
lawmakers,
our
first
mayor
Walsh
and
then
the
13
members
of
the
Boston
City
Council.
So
we
have
four
members
who
serve
at
large,
which
is
citywide
and
then
nine
members
who
each
represent
a
sub-region,
usually
one
or
multiple
neighborhoods
within
City-
and
you
know,
by
way
of
making
public
policy.
I'd
say
things
that
you
would
advocate
for
here
in
the
City
Council
or
advocate
to
the
mayor
about
really
come
in
three
forms.
Q
So
the
first
is
the
city
budget.
Actually,
one
of
the
biggest
statements
of
priorities
and
principles
is:
what
do
we
fund?
What
offices,
what
programs,
and
so
the
city's
budget,
which
the
mayor
will
be
releasing
his
budget
on
April
10th
to
the
city
council
for
fiscal
year
20?
That
is
one
of
the
biggest
kind
of
laws
and
policies
that
get
made
in
the
city
every
year
and
really
set
the
work
for
all
city
departments
in
the
year
ahead.
Q
The
other
form
that
lawmaking
looks
like
at
the
local
level
are
ordinances
or
Home
Rule
petitions.
So
these
are
proposals
that
can
either
be
put
forward
from
the
mayor
or
any
member
of
the
City
Council
to
change
our
local
laws
here.
Just
within
the
borders
of
the
city
of
Boston
and
I'd,
say
the
last
thing.
I
think
a
lot
of
you
will
be
familiar
with
are
what
we
call
hearing
orders.
So
in
a
city
council,
any
councillor
can
file
a
hearing
order.
It's
actually
not
a
proposal
to
change
any
particular
law
in
any
particular
way.
Q
It's
usually
about
a
general
topic
and
a
way
for
the
council
to
hear
from
constituencies
on
an
issue
of
their
choosing,
so
I
think
it
was
mentioned,
councillor,
Flynn
or
maybe
Commissioner.
You
mentioned
a
bit,
but
today,
in
the
council
meeting
this
afternoon,
councillor
Flynn
filed
a
hearing
order
around
the
disability
commission's
work,
the
the
services
that
are
currently
offered
and
what
people
with
disabilities
in
Boston
might
need
to
see.
Q
That's
the
same
new
different
and
really
that's
not
a
particular
proposal
to
change
any
particular
law,
but
really
just
an
opportunity
for
the
council
to
hear
from
interested
parties
on
the
topic
and
I'll
say
that
advocating
at
the
local
level,
it
really
can
come
in
a
few
different
forms:
I'll
walk
through
those,
but
then
give
some
just
tips
about
what
I
have
found
to
be
useful
in
being
an
effective
advocate.
So
sorry,
that's
hard
to
read.
Q
Q
Is
it
something
we
have
in
our
authority
to
do?
If,
if
we
think
it's
a
good
idea
and
so
think
about
advocacy,
not
just
in
the
formal
sense,
but
in
those
ongoing
working
relationships
with
the
City
Council
I'd
say
what
I've
listed
here
is
again
more
formal
advocacy,
but
they
meet
every
Wednesday
at
noon.
Those
are
all
publicly
noticed.
Q
I
will
note
that
those
they're
weekly
meetings
are
really
their
time
to
do
the
business
of
the
council
and
those
are
not
open
for
public
comment
or
testimony
it's
a
time
for
them
to
file
new
orders
for
consideration
and
to
take
votes
on
ones.
That
they've
already
had
some
public
process
on,
and
so
those
really
are
good
to
watch
and
listen
and
really
pay
attention
to
what
the
City
Council
is
expressing
interest
in,
but
there's
no
formal
opportunity
to
get
engaged
as
an
outside
number
outside
the
body
of
the
council.
Q
Where
you
can
participate,
though,
are
in
hearings
and
in
working
sessions.
So
those
again
are
publicly
noticed
48
hours
in
advance
and
either
are
on
an
issue
or
a
specific
ordinance
or
a
specific
change.
In
law
proposal
that's
been
filed,
the
only
distinction
I'd
make
between
hearings
and
working
sessions.
If
you've
never
been
to
one,
all
right
hearings
tend
to
be
held
here
in
the
chamber
and
its
really
the
council's
first
opportunity
to
ask
a
frontline
of
questions
to
whoever
put
forth
the
original
proposal
and
to
hear
public
comment
and
testimony
from
anyone.
Q
Interested
working
sessions
tend
to
be
a
little
bit
more
informal
they're
in
more
of
like
a
conference
room
setting
and
it's
the
council's
opportunity
to
take
a
proposed
ordinance
or
piece
of
legislation
and
really
like
redline
and
make
edits
to
it.
So
it's
more
what
it
says
a
working
session,
but
those
are
also
open
to
the
public
and
there's
an
opportunity
to
testify
there
as
well
so
I'd,
say
some
tips
about
being
as
effective
as
an
advocate
as
you
can
be.
Q
The
first
is
just
to
get
kind
of
debunked
a
myth
that
you
have
to
be
know
every
part
of
the
process
or
the
you
know
you
need
to
know
every
city,
councilor
or
all
the
ins
and
outs
of
how
committees
work.
You
don't
and
I'd
say:
don't
let
that
be
a
barrier
if
you
think
there's
a
big
learning
curve.
The
most
knowledge
you
need
to
know
is
your
own
story
and
why
you
are
passionate
about
that
particular
issue.
I
found
that
that
has
rests
that
resonates
with
any
elected
official.
Q
More
than
anything,
and
they
do
know
the
processes
and
kind
of
the
sometimes
even
the
politics
that
are
going
on
around
a
particular
issue.
But
what
they
don't
know
is
your
perspective
and
that's
actually
oftentimes.
What
elected
officials
want
to
hear
the
most
when
they
have
public
hearings,
so
communication
I,
put
hook,
line
and
sinker
there
I'd
just
say
this
was
what
I
learned
the
first
time
I
went
to
a
meeting
with
an
elected
official,
which
hook
is
your
name
and
where
you
are
from
in
Boston.
Q
We
are
very
parochial,
very,
very
localized,
so
I
get
down
to
like
the
street
level.
You
know
I,
say
I'm
from
N
and
7th
and
South
Boston,
and
that
really
grounds
where
you're
coming
from
literally.
But
if
you
know
it
just
gives
context,
and
the
line
is
what
the
issue
is
and
why
you
care
about
it,
and
then
the
sinker
is
the
concrete
ask.
Q
So
you
know
I'd
really
recommend
if
you're,
when
you're,
advocating
don't
just
say
kind
of
what
the
concern
is,
but
if
there's
a
concrete
proposal
before
that
elected
official
really
end
with
a
hard
ask,
you
know
elected
official
John
Smith.
Will
you
please
support
X
and
then
then
wait
and
see
what
the
response
is
so
I
think
oftentimes
people
aren't
comfortable
kind
of
making
that
direct
ask,
but
that
really
is
part
of
being
effective
for
testimony
and
there's.
Q
You
can
testify
in
person
so
again
stand
at
this
mic
hook
line
and
sinker
it's
the
same
model.
I'd
say
three
minutes
is
kind
of
like
the
golden
amount
of
time
to
testify
and
if
you're
not
comfortable
or
not
able
to
testify
in
person
and
any
legislative
body,
whether
it
be
the
council
or
the
State
House
will
accept
written
testimony
as
well.
Q
You
can
be
as
formal
as
a
letter
you
know
directed
towards
the
chairs
of
that
committee,
or
even
just
an
email
to
your
individual
elected
official
and
to
get
your
thoughts
across
is
accepted
and
I'd
also
just
say,
stay
engaged.
You
know:
public
hearings
are
a
very
public
concrete
point
in
time
to
get
in
front
of
elected
officials,
but
they're
working
on
these
issues.
Kind
of
in
all
those
in-between
moments
as
well,
and
so
you
should
be
kind
of
checking
in
and
staying
in,
touch,
whether
it's
at
an
event.
Q
You
know
that
you
see
someone
at
you
want
to
remind
them
about
the
policy
you
talk
to
them
about
the
last
time.
You
saw
them
or
you
know
just
stay
engaged,
and
you
know
you
all
are
already
doing
that.
Just
having
monthly
meetings
and
being
plugged
in
as
it
is,
but
staying
in
contact
helps
I
I'll,
be
really
quick
and
just
say
with
the
State
House
and
happy
to
share
these
slides,
but
a
little
bit
about
the
process.
Q
You
know
in
the
State
House,
it's
really
the
house,
that's
run
by
the
Speaker
of
the
House
Bob
Tulio,
the
Senate,
which
is
led
by
the
Senate
President
can
I
spoke
I
and
then
the
governor,
those
are
really
the
three
branches
and
that
make
decisions
on
all
state
legislation,
and
so
they
are
good
people
to
know
just
who
they
are
and
state
budget
process.
Just
to
orient
you
all
and
time
as
I
mentioned.
Q
The
house
will
release
their
version
and
May
the
Senate
their
version
and
then
in
June,
whatever
the
House
passed
and
the
Senate
passed
looked
different
and
so
in
June
they
need
to
come
together
and
reconcile
those
two
to
put
together.
One
final
document,
which
goes
to
the
governor's
desk
on
or
around
July
1st
of
every
year,.
Q
For
the
legislative
process,
the
state
house
actually
operates
on
a
two-year
calendar,
so
the
budget
gets
decided
annually,
but
legislation
aside
from
the
budget
gets
filed
at
the
beginning
of
the
odd
years,
and
then
it
has
two
years
to
get
through
the
committee
process,
and
so
we
just
started
a
new
legislative
session
and
any
bill
that
does
not
get
passed
by
the
end
of
July
of
2020.
Well,
I'll
have
to
start
over
again,
but
I'd
say
this
flow
chart
just
really
walks
through
filing
a
bill.
Q
It
gets
assigned
to
a
committee
that
just
happened
for
all
bills,
that
about
six
between
six
and
eight
thousand
bills
get
filed
every
year
and
so
they've
just
all
been
assigned
to
committee.
Every
bill
is
required
under
state
law
to
have
a
public
hearing.
They
tend
not
to
be
one
hearing
on
each
bill.
It
tends
to
be
a
bucket
of
there'll,
be
a
hearing
by
issue
and
any
bill
related
to
that
issue
will
get
heard
at
that
time.
Q
Ultimately,
going
to
the
governor's
desk
same
as
the
budget
process,
I
wanted
to
highlight
just
one
bill,
which
is
an
act
relative
to
the
architectural
access
board.
So
this
was
a
bill
that
this
groups
have
been
working
on.
The
Commissioner
has
been
a
strong
advocate
for
for
a
number
of
years,
and
this
is
on
the
merits,
top
legislative
priorities
for
this
session
and
I'd
say
in
terms
of
the
so
the
bill
would
have
make
one
universal
access
code
for
both
the
construction
industry
and
the
disability
community
and
where
it
is
in
the
process.
Q
Just
so
you
know
is
that
it's
been
assigned
to
a
committee,
it's
before
the
Joint
Committee
on
Public
Safety
and
Homeland
Security.
It
has
not
been
assigned
a
hearing
date
yet,
but
we
will
keep
the
commissioner
apprised
of
that
and
she'll
get
that
information
out
to
folks
who
are
interested
in
going
to
that
and
and
I'd
say
last
session,
this
bill
guy
reported
favorably
out
of
this
same
committee
and
moved
on
to
the
next
step
in
the
process.
Q
So
I
think
we
should
be
hopeful
that
they
will
do
the
same
this
year,
move
it
along
favorably,
and
so
really
the
goal
for
every
bill
is
get
it
further
than
it
got
last
session.
You
know
that's
make
progress
bit
by
bit
until
you
get
momentum
to
get
it
all
the
way.
So
we
will
be
advocating
on
here's
behalf
for
this
become
law
and
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
on
that.
Q
I'll
say
and
I
have
some
resources
up
here.
You
know
everything
that
happens
in
the
City
Council
relative
to
legislation
is
all
under
Open
Meeting
Law
requirement.
So
it's
all
publicly
notice,
which
is
fantastic.
So
any
hearing
any
working
session
I
have
links
in
here
to
the
City
Council,
so
you
can
find
out
who
your
counselor
is.
If
you
don't
already
know,
there's
a
link
there
for
the
mayor
state
legislative
agenda,
which
you
all
have
paper
copies
of
in
front
of
you
and
I'll.
Q
Q
Let's
take
the
Statehouse
as
an
example,
there
are
six
to
eight
thousand
bills
filed
every
session,
and
so
we
certainly
do
not
read
them
all
and
there's
so
many
of
them
that
are
fantastic
and
that
we
wouldn't
know
about.
Unless
for
advocates
residents,
constituents,
our
colleagues
and
other
departments
raise
them
to
us
and
flag
for
the
mayor
that
they're
out
there
that
they're
interested
so
and
I'd
say
for
the
bills
that
are
already
on
the
mayor's
legislative
agenda.
Q
We
encourage
anyone
everyone
to
advocate
for
those
wearing
your
personal
hat
or
wearing
your
Advisory
Commission
hi,
and
if
there's
a
piece
of
legislation
that
you're
interested
in
that's
not
on
this
list,
we
just
ask
that
you
raise
it
to
the
Commissioner
Jessica
and
we
usually
just
want
to
check
to
see
you
know.
Does
they
conflict
with
anything
else?
Do
we
have
any
concerns?
Q
Sometimes
it
can
be
really
nuanced
that
the
the
idea
of
the
bill
is
really
agree,
but
maybe
there's
a
problem
with
how
it's
written,
so
we
just
check
in
on
those
kind
of
vetting
of
things.
That
being
said,
all
we
would
kind
of
circle
back
on
is
if
it's
something
that
we
feel
comfortable
folks
formally
wearing
their
advisory
role
hat
testifying,
but
if
it
turns
out
that
it's
not
something
we're
able
to
analyze
in
time
for
a
hearing
they
tend
to
pop
up
quickly.
We
always
encourage
you
as
an
individual.
O
J
O
N
You
for
the
presentation,
and
also
as
Jerry,
will
be
discussing
at
the
mayor's
appreciation
for
boards
and
commissions
when
I
introduced
myself
when
we
were
talking
about
presentations,
and
he
said
that
Oh
someone
from
his
office
that
to
try
to
set
that
up
and
I
said
you
were
already
on
the
march
agenda,
but
he
spoke
very
great
well
of
the
work
you
do.
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a
question
for
you
or
Jerry
a
we.
N
Obviously,
this
is
very
important
that
we
have
access
to
you
through
the
Commissioner,
but
as
a
subcommittee,
Jerry
I'd
also
listed
the
possibility
of
having
intergovernmental,
as
as
a
subcommittee
and
I
just
was
trying
to
either
from
Jerry
just
to
understand
that
distinction
of
if
we
have
a
subcommittee
versus
our
access
or
how
that
would
work.
If
it's
not
a
specific
subcommittee,
yeah.
B
B
So
you
know
I
envisioned
I,
envisioned
a
subcommittee,
maybe
having
someone
you
know
who
does
work
with
the
commissioner
and
and
your
office
and-
and
you
know
kind
of
report
back
back
to
us
on
on
you
know
common
themes
or
things
so
that
we
should
be
thinking
about
and
work
and
working
on
that.
That
was
my
thought
for
putting
it.
You
know
putting
it
on
the
list.
So,
okay,.
N
L
Q
And
we
really
would
defer
to
you
all
I
think
we
work
with
other
Commission's
within
the
city
and
advisory
boards
and
in
folks
do
it
various
ways.
So
some
people
may
be
uncomfortable
with
that
particular
letter,
and
so
they
want
to
pull
their
name
off
some
people.
As
long
as
the
letterhead
is
representative,
that's
fine
I
would
say
for
us.
We
really
just
want
to
make
sure
that
whatever
the
policy
is
that
it's
it's
reflective
of
the
city's
priorities-
and
you
know
want
to
be
echoing
what
you
guys
are
advocating
for
as
well
Thanks
and.
B
I
just
had
a
question:
okay,
I've
talked
to
you
know
my
city,
councilor
and
other
city
councillors.
You
know
around
the
neighborhood's
before
and
they
said.
Oh
that's
great,
that
you're
involved
with
the
advisory
board.
You
know
you
should
have
us
come
to
a
meeting,
I'd
be
happy
to
come
to
a
meeting.
So
if
we
wanted
to
say
invite
either
a
specific
counselor
or
a
member
of
the
staff
to
a
meeting,
what
what
would
be
the?
What
would
be
the
process
sure.
B
Q
A
great
question,
I
honestly,
would
say
no
there's,
no
particular
standing
meeting
of
kind
of
intergovernmental
I'd
say.
One
of
the
challenges
is
that
we
are
kind
of
at
the
whim
of
the
State
House
to
schedule
hearings,
and
so
sometimes
we
find
that
in
one
month
we
have.
You
know
five
bills
to
talk
about
that
might
be
of
interest,
but
then
for
three
or
four
months
we
really
don't
have
any
movement
on
anything
and
we,
you
know,
as
advocates
and
as
the
city
don't
have
any
control
over
that.
Q
A
A
Their
broadcast
live
on
lines,
you're
able
to
see
and
are
also
captioned,
so
you're
able
to
access
those
meetings
both
in
real
time.
If
you
have
a
conflict
or
if
you're
at
work
or
at
home,
where
the
weather
does
what
weather
does
here
in
New
England
and
then
also
they
are
archived
as
well.
So,
even
if
you
are
unable
to
attend
a
meeting
that
day,
you
can
then
go
back
and
review
the
tapes
and
participate
that
way.
Also.
R
Hello,
thank
you.
I'm
Maura,
Bresnahan
I'm,
the
festival
director
for
reelabilities,
Boston
and
I
have
some
brochures
here.
If
you
want
to
take
any
on
your
way
out,
I
have
plenty
more.
The
festival
starts
March
26th
and
runs
through
April
3rd,
and
we
screen
a
different
venue
every
night
around
Boston.
All
the
screenings
are
free.
We
do
encourage
registration.
R
Our
website
is
real
Boston
REE,
Elle
Boston
org,
and
we
have
events
Facebook
events
for
all
the
screenings
on
our
Facebook
page
as
well,
and
we
would
really
just
love
any
help
that
you
can
give
us
in
getting
the
word
out
about
the
screenings.
We
do
encourage
people
to
register,
but
they
can
show
up
as
well
so
I'm,
just
gonna
run
through
the
trailers.
Just
cut
me
off
of
we
go
over,
but
this
is
for
our
opening
night
film.
It's
called
far
from
the
tree.

It
was
like
my
grandmother's
birthday
and
I
was
headed
out
to
go
meet
some
friends
and
I
just
had
like
a
breakdown,
I
just
broke
down
and,
let's
start
a
crime,
because
I
missed
her
and
it
was
just
pain.
Inside
of
me,
I
felt,
like
I,
had
no
one
I
remember
going
in
to
practice
one
day
and
I
was
like
I
can't
I
can't
do
this
anymore.
I
just
lost
control
of
everything
at
that
point,
I
was
getting
paranoid.
I
felt
like
knew
what
was
going
on
with
me.

So
after
Bethany
Hamilton
on
Sunday
March
31st
at
the
Coolidge,
we're
gonna
screen
pick
of
the
litter
and
there's
the
movies
go
all
the
way
through
April
3rd.
Our
closing
night
film
is
intelligent
lives
by
Dan
Habib
at
the
museum
of
science
and
then
Tuesday
April,
2nd
we're
showing
a
movie
called
defiant
lives,
which
might
be
a
particular
interest
to
this
group,
because
it's
about
the
beginning
of
the
disability
rights
movement
here,
Australia
and
Britain,
and
for
all
of
these
screenings
we
have
a
really
robust
panel,
a
lot
of
them.
R
R
K
R
K
K
R
R
N
Yes,
I'm
two
things
well
I
was
having
a
little
bit
difficulty
of
difficulty,
seeing
it
on
the
smaller
screen.
For,
if
those
of
you,
if
you
haven't
seen
one
of
these
films,
that's
seeing
it
on
the
large
screen,
definitely
enhances
it
in
the
the
panel
discussions
afterwards,
you
know
really
do
enhance
the
experience
of
seeing
the
film
I.
N
Actually
so
I
was
trying
to
find
the
real
Boston
online,
while
you
were
showing
those
and
I'm
not
able
to
find
it
for
this
year
or
I'm,
just
seeing
save
the
date
or
something
on
the
Facebook
one
was
saying
there
was
some
kind
of
temporary
glitch,
but
I
was
able
to
pull
up
since
2017
and
18
for
the
actual
I
I
see
that
the
dates
involved,
but
not
the
information
you're,
giving
us
and
therefore
I'm,
all
the
more
startled
that
you
said.
One
of
them
is
already.
N
R
Unfortunately,
for
us,
so
we
don't
discourage
people
from
coming,
but
we
just
once
we
hit
our
max
number
for
registration.
We
block
it,
but
we
still
leave
a
note
saying
come
because
a
lot
of
people-
actually
there
are
a
lot
of
no-shows
for
something
for
free
events,
so
I'm
pretty
confident
that
anyone
who
shows
up
will
get
in
well.
N
I'd
strongly
encourage
people
to
spread
the
word
to
your
networks
as
both
a
social
outing,
and
you
know,
generating
very
good
discussion
that
last
year
there
was
one
stumped
about
someone
who
had
lost
both
his
legs
and
arms
and
then
went
on
to
have
a
an
arm
transplant
here
in
Boston.
That's
not
a
spoiler
alert,
it's
basically
I
think
in
the
trailer
information,
but
not
only
was
the
the
person
that
the
film
was
about
up
there
on
stage.
J
You'd
mentioned
that
one
of
the
films
was
being
shown:
I
don't
cave
at
Mass
General,
so
I
work
at
master
on
I
just
send
out
a
blast
to
the
Council
on
disability
at
the
hospital,
because
you
have
counsel
that
deals
with
image
or
a
lot
of
various
disabilities.
I
was
wondering
if
you
would
make
these
films
available
after
April,
so,
for
example,
I.
Would
we
have
a
big
Disability,
Awareness
Month
activity
program
at
Mass,
General
in
October
and
I
would
love
to
have
an
offering
of
these
films
again,
if
possible.
R
We
can
certainly
talk
about
doing
a
screening,
a
Coe
presentation
together,
I
can't
legally,
we
pay
licensing
fees
per
screening.
But
if
you
we,
we
do
screenings
all
the
time
with
organizations
and
we
handle
a
lot
of
the
logistics
of
clearing
the
film's
from
the
distributor,
so
yeah
I
work
at
Mass,
General
I'm
a
nurse
as
long
as
well
as
running
this.
So
yeah.
We're
really
excited
about
that.
We're
bringing
shimmie
cold
here
from
LA
for
the
conversation
afterwards,
so
I'm
actually
trying
to
get
some
women's
college
basketball
teams
to
come
to
the
screening.
I
R
I
R
Yeah
so
there's
one
at
the
JCC
Newton,
which
is
a
little
tougher,
I
think
for
Boston
based
folks
to
get
to
and
then
we're
doing
the
the
wanted
master
on
all
same
night
and
for
the
opening
night
film.
Far
from
the
tree,
we
have
the
big
theater
in
Somerville
which
seats
like
500
people.
So
we
are
truly
hoping
to
get
a
large
group
to
that
and
we're
bringing
five
of
the
film
subjects
there.
For
that.
O
R
O
O
B
Hearing
them.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Hi
next
on
the
agenda
is
my
report.
The
commissioners
report
and
first
I
wanted
to
thank
the
Commissioner
for
a
couple
of
different
things
for
first
of
all,
for
working
very
hard
to
getting
us
involved
and
working
with
the
mayor's
office
on
on
creating
kind
of
his
reception
that
he
that
he
puts
on
for
rewards
and
commission
members.
B
You
know
sometimes
multiple
times,
so
it
was
really
very
impressive
to
get
to
get.
You
know,
access
to
the
mayor
directly
and
I
I.
Thank
the
commissioner
and
her
staff
for,
for
you,
know,
working
with
his
office
on
setting
that
up
and
I
encourage
everyone
to,
hopefully,
it'll
be
an
annual
event.
I
think
it
started
last
year
and
and-
and
you
know,
I
hope
more
folks
from
from
the
board
can
attend
in
future
years.
B
So
and
next
thing
I
wanted
to
do
was
thank
her
also
and
staff
for
putting
on
the
ad
a
training
that
that
was
open
to
her
office
and
members.
You
know
IRA
members
here
at
the
advisory
board
it
it
happened.
Last
Friday
Stacy
hard
from
from
the
ad
a
Technical,
Assistance,
Center,
came
and
and
trained
us
for
an
entire
afternoon.
It
was
really
really
impressive
that
that
she
gave
such
a
comprehensive
history
of
the
ad,
a
and
and
and
specifically
our
role.
B
You
know
in
in
helping
to
enforce
the
ad
a
you
know
our
role
and
responsibilities
as
as
board
members,
so
that
was
very,
very
impressive
and
and
that
again
that
the
Commissioner
and
her
staff
was
able
to
to
put
that
put
that
on
and
that
we
were
all
able
to
to
learn
together.
I
really
appreciate
that
upward
opportunity
to
look
forward
to
continuing
to
do
that.
You
know
with
future
events.
B
I
know
we
have
the,
hopefully
the
retreat
the
retreat,
hopefully
we'll
get
on
the
schedule
at
some
point
and
so
forth,
so
that
so
that's
great
just
have
a
couple
of
other
things.
That
I
wanted
to
mention
was
that
the
I
noticed
on
the
on
the
website
and
I
I.
Think
I've
heard
on
the
news
as
well
and
in
the
in
the
commissioners.
B
The
disability,
Commission's
enewsletter,
the
the
census
for
the
City
of
Boston
is
up.
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
access
that.
It's
right
on
the
face
page
when
you
go
to
the
City
of
Boston
website,
I
think
you
can
click
right
on
it.
I
haven't
filled
it
out
yet,
but
but
what
I
certainly
will
be
doing
so
it's
very
important,
for
you
know
census
data
for
population
data
for
for
voting,
rolls
and
and
and
various
things.
L
Yes,
thank
you
Jerry
it.
The
election
department
will
be
doing
a
mailing
to
all
City
residents
with
instructions
on
how
to
fill
out
the
census
and,
like
Jerry,
said,
it's
really
important
that
the
city
collect
this
information
so
that
they
know
what
the
population
of
the
city
is.
So
they
can
plan
better
for
programming
responses.
Needs
of
of
the
whole
city
and
also
included
in
this
year's
census
are
some
optional,
voluntary
questions
that
will
be
anonymous
and
they
are
on
disability,
child
care
and
language
issues.
So
we
encourage
people
to
fill
that
out.
L
There
won't
be
any
names
attached
to
it.
It's
just
so.
We
can
get
this
data
and
it
was
a
long
time
coming.
It's
the
same,
some
of
the
same
questions
that
are
on
the
American
Community
Survey,
which
is
a
federal
census
like
it's
a
it's
a
federal
census,
type
tool.
So
those
those
are
now
the
census
is
available
and,
as
Jerry
also
said,
it
keeps
you
active
on
the
voter
list.
L
B
B
So
I
would
encourage
all
folks
looking
for
looking
for
employment
to
consider
attending
the
event
and
to
getting
it
out
to
your
networks,
your
friends,
your
neighbors
and
and
other
folks
with
disabilities
who
who
are
looking
for
looking
for
employment
and
then
Carol
again
mentioned
the
AL
ILC
day
at
the
at
the
State
House
tomorrow,
and
the
blind
the
upcoming
blind
day
at
the
State
House
in
his
announcement.
So
so
thank
you
Carl
for
for
doing
that.
B
The
next
thing
that
I
wanted
to
to
mention
was
was
that
thank
for
everyone
for
filling
out
the
survey
that
I
mentioned,
or
that
I
sent
out
regarding
possible
subcommittees.
Not
everybody,
at
least
as
of
last
night,
had
I
had
a
chance
to
fill
that
out,
but
I
appreciate.
You
know
at
least
starting
I
wanted
to
at
least
be
able
to
start
the
discussion
on
different
subcommittees
that
that
the
board
seems
to
be
interested
in
and
just
from
the
from
the
data
that
that
I
was
able
to
glean
last
night.
B
It
looks
like
the
majority
of
us
are
interested
in
in
public
transportation
as
as,
as
the
number
one
a
number
one
concern
that
they'd
like
to
work
on
so
I'd
like
us
to
to
at
least
you
know,
get
a
subcommittee
regarding
public
transportation
and
transportation
for
for
disability
for
folks
with
disabilities
up
and
running.
If
we
can
and
I've
asked
Elizabeth
if
she'd
consider
heading
up
that
that
that
committee
and
I
think
she's,
she
said
she
would
so
so
anybody
who's
interested
in
in
working
on
public
transportation.
B
You
know,
please
feel
free
to
outreach
to
me
or
or
to
to
Elizabeth.
Then
we
we
can
work
on
getting
that.
Getting
that
going.
These
subcommittees,
don't
necessarily
have
to
meet
monthly
or
weekly
or
whatever.
Sometimes
it
can
be
in
regards
to
a
specific
event
that
may
be
coming
up
or
a
specific
piece
of
legislation
say
or
a
specific
issue.
So
so
I
know
it
may
they
may
sound
like
who
wants
to
get
involved
in
that
or
I.
B
Don't
don't
have
time
to
get
involved
with
that,
but
it
may
not
be
as
troublesome
as
some
folks
may
think
so
and
and
I
know
the
Commissioner
and
her
staff
are
I'm
more
than
willing
to
help
facilitate
these
committees
as
well.
So
so
transportation,
I
think
would
be,
would
be
a
nice
area
for
us
to
start
and
then
the
second
most
most
priority
that
folks
listed
was
intergovernmental
relations.
B
So
I
think
it
was
very
timely
to
have
that
presentation
tonight
and-
and
you
know,
I-
would
love
to
someone
to
work
with
with
that
office
in
conjunction
with
with
the
commissioner
and
her
office
to
really
keep
us
informed
on.
You
know
ways
that
we
can
get
involved
with
the
City
Council
with
the
Statehouse
house
and
maybe
even
Washington
as
it
would
come
up.
So
so
those
are
just
some
two
two
committees
that
I'd
really
like
to
like
to
see:
I
get
going
and
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
any.
N
But
in
the
meantime
there
were
multiple
questions
in
the
audience
about
the
uber
lyft
that
the
MBTA
pilot
and
they're.
Frankly,
our
problems
at
all
three
they're
problems
involved
in
that
at
the
MBTA
level
and
both
uber
and
lyft
have
their
own
separate
issues
of
how
that's
not
working.
So
I
really
thought
they
were
that
the
audience
conveyed
a
strong
sense
of
urgency
so
again
for
anyone
who
is
interested
I
don't
want
to.
If
some
people
have
interest
in
the
fare
increase
versus
the
ride
pilot,
we
can
again
figure
out
once
we
are
a
subcommittee.
N
B
Maybe
we
could
work
with
the
commissioner's
office
now
that
we've
we've,
you
know,
want
to
establish
a
couple
of
committees
and-
and
we
can
work
with
her
office
around
how
to
how
to
move
forward
if
that's
okay,
but
with
that
those
are
the
those
were
the
top
two
concerns,
the
other,
the
other
things
that
I
listed,
including
employment,
housing
and
so
forth.
They
kind
of
work
they
kind
of
were
tied
for
for
interest.
B
So
it's
certainly
not
that
that
we're
not
going
to
get
them
started
right
now,
but
I
think
the
public
transportation
in
the
intergovernmental
relation.
Where
we're
we're
most
on
on
the
folks
folks
lit
you
know
mines.
So,
let's,
let's
start
with
those
and
see
what
we
can.
What
we
can
accomplish,
but
as
Elizabeth
said,
transportation
is
a
huge,
huge
issue
for
folks
with
disabilities,
but
he
did.
B
But
as
it
stands
right
now,
as
of
July
1st,
the
the
regular
fare
for
for
a
DA
trips
would
go
up
20
cents
and
for
premium
ride
service
it
would
go
up,
it
would
go
up
yeah.
What
did
you
say?
Carl?
Yes,
that's
correct!
So
yeah,
it's
a
big,
that's
a
big
hit!
For
you
know
a
lot
of
folks
with
disabilities,
so
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
to
you
know.
B
N
One
other
quick
question
under
other
I
mean
not
that
we,
you
know
if
we
get
those
up
and
going,
and
especially
with
the
urgency
as
well
as
Carl,
the
AAA
B.
Even
if
that's
not
a
subcommittee
but
other
other
needs
in
the
next
few
months.
But
I
was
curious
that,
under
the
category
other
since
I
didn't
see
a
way
to
for
people
to
itemize
that
to
specify
the
one
thing
I
wondered
is:
are
there
other
not
only
to
know
what
people
had
in
mind,
but
also
the
for
instance?
N
One
thing
that
wasn't
down
there
and
perhaps
Commissioner
can
be
tied
into
existing
available
resources
through
your
office
or
others.
But
I
know
the
issue
of
I.
Don't
know
what
the
overarching
word
would
be.
Some
version
of
media
communications,
public
relations,
including
social
media,
not
not
as
a
not
necessarily
maybe
as
a
an
intrinsic
priority,
but
how
for
a
given
upcoming
event
or
something
do
we
have
access
to
just
let
our
our
constituencies
now
just.
N
N
B
L
L
So
the
city
did
take
a
stand
against
raising
Affairs
for
people
with
disabilities,
people
who
are
elderly
and
people
who
need
these
services,
and
we
appreciate
that
the
mayor
did
that
so.
Jerry
also
mentioned
the
ad.
A
training
and
I
wanted
to
follow
up
to
say
that
we
are
definitely
planning
a
series
of
more
trainings
for
the
board,
I'd
like
to
get
a
list
of
topics
specific
trainings,
that
your
interest,
whether
it's
housing
or
you
know
anything
else
that
you're
interested
in,
and
we
can
also
do
some
more
general
ones
like
the
IGR
training.
L
On
another
note,
I
went
to
a
talk
at
Harvard
University,
given
by
Victor
khaleesi,
who
is
the
New
York
City
disability,
commissioner,
and
it
was
just
very
interesting
to
hear
him
speak
about
the
issues
he
was
working
on
because
they're
very
similar
to
the
ones
that
we're
working
on.
He
talked
about
transit
bike
lanes,
accessible
housing.
All
the
things
that
we
work
on
here
in
the
city,
and
one
interesting
thing
is
that
the
New
York
City
Transit
Authority
has
a
lot
less
access
than
we
have
in
Boston.
L
So
we
were
in
a
meeting
earlier
this
week
and
I
believe
that
the
MBTA
fixed
route
system,
excluding
the
commuter
rail
it-
has
92
percent
compliance
fraidy
it
compliant.
So
we
are
in
really
good
shape,
granted
we're
a
lot
smaller
than
New
York
City,
but
it
was
really
nice
to
hear
that
we
we've
made
so
many
strides
and
we're
happy
to
keep
working
with
T
on
increasing
that.
L
Another
thing
that
we've
been
working
on
is
youth
jobs,
Jessica
and
I
met
with
the
office
of
youth,
employment
and
engagement.
They
are
working
on
a
program
that
they
run
every
year,
which
is
a
summer
job
summer,
youth
job
program.
It's
called
success
link
and
this
matches
teens
between
the
ages
of
15
and
18
to
summer
jobs.
The
application
is
open
through
April
12th,
so
you
have
to
sign
up
for
that.
You
also
have
to
be
a
boston
resident
and
they
will
try
to
match
these
youth
with
jobs
for
the
summer.
L
They
also
work
with
the
strive
program
at
the
Boston
Public
Schools,
which
works
with
students
who
have
disabilities
and
they
are
able
to
place
students
who
are
older
than
18,
because
this
drive
the
special
education,
goes
to
age
22.
So
we
are
hoping
to
get
more
involved
with
that
this
year
and
also
to
work
on
jobs,
not
just
in
the
summer,
but
for
year-round
jobs
for
people
with
disabilities.
L
We
also
met
with
the
mayor's
office
of
emergency
management
to
talk
about
where's,
our
offices
can
work
together
for
people
with
disabilities
moving
forward.
We
talked
about
emergency
situations
at
a
big
picture
like
planning
for
evacuations
and
looking
at
the
emergency
shelters,
access
to
the
shelters,
communication
issues
for
people
with
disabilities
who
have
sensory
disabilities
and
then
smaller
issues
like
individual
one-time
things
that
happen,
whether
it's
a
storm
or
a
fire.
Now
these
are
small
issues
but
they're
more
like
one-time,
as
opposed
to
long-term
planning.
L
So
we
are
they've,
had
some
staff
turnover
in
the
Office
of
Emergency
Management,
but
they're
just
getting
their
footing
now
and
we're
going
to
re-engage
with
them
in
the
coming
months.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
that
and
on
that
note
my
office
will
be
holding
a
training
on
emergency
preparedness
for
people
with
disabilities
on
May
21st
in
the
P
Monti
room.
That's
right
down
the
hall
from
the
chamber
and
it's
gonna,
be
presented
by
the
mass
office
on
disability.
L
They'll
talk
about
ways
to
create
a
personal
plan
to
meet
your
own
needs
in
case
of
emergency
and
again
emergency
can
be
really
anything
and
it
can
arise
suddenly,
usually
does
because
it's
something
that
we
don't
plan
for
a
bug.
We
really
should
plan
for
it.
So
seating
is
limited.
We're
asking
people
to
RSVP
if
they'd
like
to
attend
and
again
it's
gonna
be
May
21st
in
the
poety
or
what's.
L
And
then,
finally,
we
have
two
job
postings
open
in
our
office.
Currently,
one
is
for
a
program
manager
which
will
mainly
oversee
the
accessible
parking
program,
and
one
is
for
an
outreach
and
engagement
specialists
who
work
on
things
like
engaging
neighborhood
residents,
community
groups
and
working
on
outreach
to
city
departments,
office
of
Neighborhood,
Services
and
social
media.
Things
like
that,
these
job
postings
close
on
Friday.
O
N
L
B
B
O
AJ
AJ
My
update,
it's
pretty
short,
the
first
one
that
I'm
going
to
talk
about
is
the
BPL
Boston
Public
Library,
Copley
branch,
the
issue
about
the
vertical
lifts.
We
did
a
site
visit
with
Commissioner
this
week
and
we
met
with
staff
of
the
BPL
to
take
a
look
at
the
lift.
At
that
event,
where
we
had
a
couple
of
reports
that
there
were
issues
with
the
maneuver
maneuverability
of
that
lift,
we
get
a
chance
to
talk
about.
So
sorry,.
AJ
We
also
talked
about
communication
issues
and
planning
for
the
events
at
the
live,
including
wayfinding
and
directions
in
the
website
for
persons
well
with
disabilities.
So
people
can
plan
ahead
and
arrange
for
for
navigating
the
accessible
route
or
for
arranging
to
be
escorted
by
staff.
For
the
events.
AJ
Next
Sarah
Lyon,
our
coordinator,
our
accessibility
coordinator,
attended
a
road
safety
audit
at
Costco
Circle
indoor
tests
in
Dorchester.
Thank
you.
Sarah
we've
been
reviewing
a
couple
of
projects
that
came
to
the
office
to
review
accessibility.
One
of
them
is
the
Charles
River
Speedway
is
a
historic
project.
It's
a
DCR
reconstruction
of
a
one-story
building
that
used
to
be
a
Speedway
for
horses
and
it's
going
to
be
reconstructed
and
it's
going
to
be
a
brewery
and
we'll
have
restaurant
and
some
residential
residential
portion.
That's
in
Allston.
AJ
The
other
project
that
we
reviewed
is
the
air
right
at
mess
up
the
air
air
rights
for
the
Massachusetts
Turnpike,
there's
going
to
be
a
large
development
there
and
it's
going
to
be
either
a
hotel
or
residential.
The
program
is
still
a
little
bit
up
in
the
air,
but
it's
going
to
be
pretty
significant
and
it's
going
to
have
a
large
component
for
pedestrians.
It's
going
to
be
podium
and
the
bottom
few
floors
it's
going
to
have
some
parking
floors
and
retail
and
then
two
towers,
one
tower
of
commercial
offices
and
the
other
Tower
residential.
AJ
AJ
AJ
O
L
N
I
I
know
that
that
would
be
probably
more
of
a
DPW
issue,
but
getting
back
to
the
check
checklist
that
we
had
that
just
as
you've
you
and
Commissioner
have
discussed
the
Boston
Public
Library.
This
was
yet
another
event
that,
in
you
know,
was
mayor
city
sponsored
event
that
was
not
fully
accessible
to
all
of
us.
I
mean
it
was.
It
was
doable
I
in
leaving
I
had
a
policeman
and
the
the
lyft
driver
assisting
me.
N
It
might
be
unusual
to
have
snow
on
March
4th
other
years,
but
certainly
not
unheard
of
in
New
England,
and
it
was
a
difficult
getting
getting
going
down
the
street
and
getting
through
the
snow.
So,
whichever
way
we
can
continue
to
help
facilitate
so
the
events
where
there's
even
more
than
a
usual
likelihood
that
people
with
disabilities,
including
mobility
issues,
will
be
attending
I
think
would
be
helpful.
B
AJ
B
B

N
AJ
N
F
O
N
AJ
F
O
F
F
Hearing
itself
was
was
well
attended.
There
was
the
main
issue
that
was
raised
was
whether
people
were
gonna
lose
money
on
whether
the
city
was
gonna,
lose
money
on.
You
know
her
scooter,
late
licensing
and
things
like
that.
But
I
know
that
Aris
shoe
was
heard
by
the
councillors.
I
submitted
a
report
and.
F
B
F
L
F
B
K
K
This
would
fall
under
the
transportation
subcommittee,
probably,
but
in
the
newspaper
in
the
Boston
Globe
last
week
there
was
an
article
about
then
potentially
doing
a
pilot
with
the
shared
transportation
networks
over
and
left
to
create
DARPA
drop-off
zones
in
the
city
and
I
just
have
concerned.
For
some
folks
with
you
know:
physical
disabilities,
they
a
blind
person.
You
know
they
like
to
do
it
a
door
aspect
of
this
or
even
someone
with
the
mobility.
K
L
Can
speak
a
little
bit
to
that,
so
we
do
work
very
closely
with
the
chief
of
streets
and
with
the
BTD
on
you
know
all
issues
that
they
are
gonna
implement,
particularly
on
pilot
issues,
pilot
programs,
because
the
pilot
program
really
is
meant
to
test
it
to
test
the
initiative
and
see
if
it
works
a
big
piece
of.
If
it
will
work
or
not,
is
the
accessibility
of
it.
So
we
will
definitely
be
working
closely
with
chief
Osgood,
who
runs
a
DP.
L
The
excuse
me
PT
d
and
Public
Works
and
all
the
departments
associated
with
streets
in
Boston.
So
the
the
pilot
is
it's
just
one
pilot
right
now
and
it
is
a
designated
drop-off
area,
as
you
said,
for
ride-sharing
companies.
But
we
will
raise
the
issues
that
you
raised
to
me
earlier
in
the
week
and
bring
them
to
BTD
and
definitely
assess
that
moving
forward,
along
with
other
issues
of
accessibility,
to
ensure
that
the
drop-off
area
has
access
for
people
with
mobility,
disabilities
and
people
with
you
know
who
use
wheelchairs
and
scooters.
L
K

Sorry
I
just
want
to
add
that
drop-off
areas
would
be
similar
to
where
T's
or
buses
would
be,
and
the
difficulty
with
accessing
them
right
now
is
when
it
snows
or
when
it's
too
far
from
someone's
residence,
that
kind
of
eliminates
them
as
an
option.
That's
why
a
door-to-door
is
a
very
needed
service
and
we
tried
having
their
own
issues.
I.
Think
limiting
their
uber
and
left
to
just
drop-off
areas
would
be
a
great
limitation
to
to
their
community.
L
I
would
encourage
board
members
and
other
people
disabilities
to
send
us
your
feedback.
If
you
hear
stories,
if
you
experience
them
yourselves,
you
know
give
us
feedback,
because
that's
the
direct
input
that
you
can
have
into
programs
like
this,
because
we
will
bring
those
messages
to
the
departments
that
are
working
on
it.
L
L
B
N
My
concern
is
the
same
with,
as
came
up
for
the
better
bus
routes
that,
when
they're
talking
about
the
need
to
that,
because
some
bus
routes
might
have
fewer
ride,
let
you
know
fewer
ride
riders
or
with
those
issues.
If
they're
gonna
have
fewer
stops
that
again
I.
The
question
was
raised
by
someone
in
the
audience
about
what
distance
that
might
require
someone
to
with
a
disability
to
to
have
to
travel
to
to
get
to
a
consolidated
or
a
less
frequent
bus
bus
stop.
B
I
would
think
under
the
new
action
items
that
we
should
really
for
those
of
us
interested
in
the
subcommittee's
to
really
get
to
really
Elizabeth
than
I
should
send
out
another
email
to
folks
to
confirm
your
your
willingness
and
your
wanting
to
participate
and,
and
hopefully
before
next
next
meeting
we
can.
We
can,
you
know,
start
the
subcommittee's
for
public
transportation
and
intergovernmental
relations.
O
N
No,
no,
no
it's
late!
No,
but
we
didn't
follow
up
to
us
of
just
knowing
now.
I
will
definitely
be
reaching
out
to
ask
you
about
transportation,
but
at
this
because
I
know,
Paul's
expressed
interest
in
mental
health
and
other
things
that
we
can't
I
mean
the
challenge,
and
certainly
the
commissioner
faces
this
yeah
year
in
and
year
out
day
in
and
day
out.
Unfortunately,
some
of
these
things
just
can't
be
totally
by
the
wayside.
N
Some
things
have
to
be
featured
but
or
need
a
certain
prioritization
at
one
point
in
time,
but
we
still
need
to
have
some
level
of
increase
to
I,
guess
Mike.
My
hope
would
be
that
everyone
would
feel
that
they
can,
in
addition
to
coming
or
here
in
person
or
on
the
phone,
to
our
monthly
meetings,
that
in
2019
all
the
board,
members
feel
that
there
additionally
engaged
and.
B
B
Why
again,
you
know
my
hope
is
within
the
next
you
know
month
or
so
to
you
know
as
we're
getting
these
committees
going
to
solicit
more
feedback
from
you
and,
if
there's
something
else
that
we
haven't
mentioned
yet
that
needs
needs
to
be
addressed
of
or
folks
want
to
want
to
work
on
that
weekend
we
can
start
addressing
that
as
well.
So
so
thanks
any
public
input
on
anything
that
we've
discussed
tonight
or
any
any
other
other
issues.
