City of Charleston Commission on Disability 9/22/23
A
Since
we
don't
have
a
forum,
we're
just
going
to
have
a
discussion,
we're
not
going
to
vote
on
anything
we're
not
going
to
vote
on
last
the
last
meetings
minutes
we
will
go
over
and
talk
about
some
items
that
are
on
the
agenda
that
really
we
needed
to
work
on
anyway
and
weren't
ready
for
a
vote.
So
does
anybody
have
any
questions
on
that?
Do
we
have
any
public
comments
on
Zoom
so.
A
We
we've
talked
about
the
disability
survey
issues
and
Janet
was
nice
enough
to
send
it
out
so
that
we
could
tell
her
what
we
thought
about
it
and
and
I
think
it's
really
pretty
good.
I
I
do
have
some
suggestions
in
question
number
one
I
would
list
those
things
parking
lot
garage
facilities,
sidewalk
et
cetera,
I,
would
list
them
a
b
c
d
e
and
they're
on
question
number
two.
We
want
people
to
rate
it.
One
to
five
I
would
put
five
blocks
out
there
on
each
line.
A
B
A
B
A
A
A
A
I
think
going
back
to
the
very
beginning:
I,
we
don't
want
to
wake
people
down
with
the
questions,
but
I
know
that,
and
nowadays
of
you
asked
you
can
front
in
some
of
those
quick
questions
about
what
ZIP
code.
Are
you
literally?
Oh
interesting,
okay,
yeah!
Do
you
want
to
know
what
ZIP
code
they
live
in?
What
ZIP
code
they
work
in?
Do
you
want
everything
about
age
or
race?
I
mean
that
those
are
just
things
to
think
about.
A
You
may
want
to
look
at
some
other
surveys
as
examples
you
don't
want
to
weigh
them
down
a
whole
bunch
of
questions.
I
think
three
or
four
I
mean
just
but
I
definitely
want
to
know
what
ZIP
code
they
live
in
the
disaggregated
demographic
data
standards,
the
very
last
line
that
will
include
the
ZIP
code,
yeah,
that's
what
the
city
apparently
puts
on
all
of
them
perfect
yeah
from
some
version
of
all
yeah
it
is
I
was
in
the
survey.
It
looks
like
to
me
that
we
can
completely
someone
can
complete.
C
D
A
A
Okay,
yeah
I'm
on
a
committee
with
ALS
Association,
the
it's
called
Focus
and
one
of
the
things
we
just
did
was
an
equipment
survey.
So
I've
got
a
really
good
list
of
oh
good,
all
okay,
you
know
there's
probably
about
15
items.
Can
you
just
send
me
that
boost
make
a
snapshot?
Pretty
please
I,
don't
have
47.50
I'm
not
paying
to
care
yeah
we're
happy
hour
after
we
get
done
here.
Okay,
can
we
have
we
want
to
ask
like?
Is
there
one
Emergency
Management
question
we
want
to
ask?
Is
there
anything?
A
A
C
A
C
A
B
Okay,
I
have
a
couple
of
additional
comments.
If
I
may,
please
I
love
your
podcast,
yeah,
okay,
again,
I
think
we
need
to
be
rather
than
using
the
25
vocabulary
words.
We
need
to
simplify
to
make
it
as
accessible
to
all
in
terms
of
so
we're
all
clear.
So
when
I
look
at
question,
four,
for
example,
prioritizing
B
through
e
talks
about
proximity.
C
That
one
I
don't
know
because
I've
been
hearing
that
one
for
years
since
I've
been
here
and
I.
Guess
it's
because
one
of
the
commercials
I
listened
to
with
one
of
the
doctors
that
served
those
communities.
So
the
guests,
because
I've
always
known
what
that
meant
so
I'm
trying
to
see
what
would
be
a
better
way
to
say
that
well.
D
B
And
then
I
have
two
other
I
know
we're
trying
to
keep
it
short
sweet,
but
two
other
questions
that
to
be
considered
about
adding
one
would
be
I
would
like
to
give
additional
suggestion
comments,
feedback
and
allow
any
other
comments
to
be
added.
That
may
not
be
included
in
the
questions
here
and
then
perhaps
having
an
additional
thing
about.
I
would
like
to
become
involved
with
the
work
of
the
commission
or
making
Charleston
more
accessible
to
see.
If
anybody
else
would
like
to
become,
you
know
become
personally
involved.
B
A
A
A
D
C
A
A
D
D
A
What
do
you
like
about
parks
in
the
City
of
Charleston
that,
oh,
what
can
be
included
took
part,
so
it
needs
to
be
about
each
individual
ones
or
okay,
instead
of
listing
them.
That's
the
whole
thing
yeah
it's
so
many
of
the
parks
are
just
passive
parts
that
yeah
pocket.
Parks
I
mean
we're
starting
or
you
can
do
like.
Do
you
visit
the
trust,
the
parts
and
then,
if
so,
why
and
why
not?
Yeah.
C
A
Know
that
the
brittle
thing
has
accessibility
issues:
oh
yeah,
yes,
and
that's
a
that's.
A
lovely,
lovely
part
that
has
real
I
mean
they've,
actually
they've.
Actually
let
the
walkway
get
covered
have
covered
over
and
crafts.
Well,
I
know
it's
just
depending
on
the
ramp.
There
you're
getting
on
to
appearance
of
it.
But
if
you
over
time,
just
because
of
the
high
tide
well
and
the
flooding
is
because
of
the
bloody
simply
what
it's
going
to
be,
but
yeah.
D
A
And
then,
here
at
the
end
of
the
West
nasty
Greenway,
that's
not
the
West
Ashley!
That's
the
that's
a
different
green
light.
Oh
yeah!
That's
a
that's
the
one
that
goes
over,
but
because
that
was
with
a
great
yeah
vendor
Street
park
or
something
there's
a
different
park.
That's
amazing!
That's
a
great
facility.
It's
an
amazing
dog
has
got
his
name.
A
I'm,
sorry,
why
was
Broad
Street
on
here?
Well,
it's
19th
Street,
but
again
I
mean
the
City
of
Charleston
is
on
Daniel
Island,
the
city
of
Charleston's
on
John's
Island,
it's
on
James
Islands
in
West
Ashley.
It's
I'm,
not
sure
that
Broad
Street
is
any
more
important
than
any
other
Street.
Well,
I'm,
not
sure
there
is
either,
but
it
is
a
street
that's
destination
like
King
Street,.
A
C
A
A
A
A
This
has
more
I
think
it
has
more
work
to
do
in
terms
of
accessibility
with
sidewalks
with
buildings,
so
there's
fewer
accessible
parking
are
exempting
downtown
than
there
would
be
in
West
Ashley
things
are
more
spread
out.
If
not
other
stuff
downtown
is
just
a
lot
more
congested
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
everyone
can
access
it
as
easily
as
possible.
D
A
A
And
it
just
means
next
year's
insurance
is
going
up.
You
know
yeah,
so
a
lot
of
that
stuff
down
there.
It's
not
accessible,
it
needs
to
be
assessment.
We
have
severe
problems
with
the
MLK
pool
and
I
told
God
and
everybody
about
them
and
specifically
refuses
to
fix
them
and
somebody's
gonna
fall
and
get
her.
A
Sidewalk
on
the
sidewalks
leading
into
the
pool
they
had
such
a
mess
with
the
construction
of
the
old
school
and
joked
me
going
on
that.
What
you're
going
to
do
with
party
with
the
extra
causes,
but
on
onside
bugs
well
I,
was
driving
down
he's
been
coming
here
today,
they're
putting
in
a
nice
new
sidewalk
all
the
way
down,
East
Bay
on
the
right
east
side
of
the
street,
using
Edwards
Charleston,
a
bars
yeah
yeah.
Oh.
C
C
A
A
That
part's
you've
been
there
for
years.
They
forgot,
they
actually
forgot
to
take
out
the
curve
yeah.
They
have
to
put
down
the
wrongful
place
or
anything
yeah.
Now,
where
I'm,
just
by
Martha
Lewes,
is
where
you're
saying
yeah
and
it's
on
the
right
side
as
you're
coming
into
town
yeah,
and
it's
it's
old
parking
lot.
It's
not
parking
lots
of
Texas
sidewalk.
A
A
A
A
A
A
B
A
A
A
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
I'm
very
much
for
your
input.
Just
so
you
know
that
I've
also
added
in
for
number
two,
the
College
of
Charleston
MUSC,
the
VA
Hospital
the
market
and
East
Bay
Street,
the
streets
where
we
see
most
of
the
tourists
in
Charleston
are
King
Ross
and
East
day.
That's
just
where
they
mostly
are,
and
let's
give
up
yeah.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
C
A
A
A
A
A
A
B
Secret
shopper
experience
exactly
so.
This
is
the
fifth
shelter
that
I've
gone
to
and
part
of
the
the
main
problem
with
the
whole
daily
experience
was
the
lack
of
communication
and
I
kept
like
a
little
list
of
dates
and
times
about
things
happening
so
I'm
just
going
to
run
down
real
quick,
August
29th.
B
The
mayor
had
a
4
30
press
conference
talking
about
Adalia
coming
talking
about.
There
was
finally,
after
a
couple
of
days
of
talking
about
the
storm
coming
about
the
huge
storm
surge
about
the
Blue
Moon,
and
you
know
the
moon,
the
stars,
the
planets
all
aligning
which
could
have
meant
real
flooding,
and
there
was
concern
about
that
and
so
well
make
sure
you
have
your
plans
and
all
of
that.
Well,
I
live
in
a
part
of
West
Ashley,
my
apartment
literally
my
apartment
building
butts
right
against
the
marsh.
B
It's
low-lying
and
ant
pees
and
we
flood.
So
this
was
going
to
be
I
for
the
safety
of
my
chair
and
for
power.
I
probably
need
to
go
to
a
shelter,
they
didn't
know
how
it
was
going
to
hit
but
better
safe
than
the
story.
So,
finally,
on
the
29th,
the
mayor
at
a
press
conference
yep
we're
going
to
open
a
shelter
it's
going
to
be
at
the
work
at
Work
Camp.
B
What
does
that
mean?
So
I
go
to
the
city
website.
There
is
no
shelter
listed
or
information
listed,
I
go
to
the
Emer
South
Carolina
emergency
management
division
on
the
same
day.
Nothing
listed
that
same
day
on
the
29th.
The
governor
declared
a
state
of
emergency
ahead
of
the
storm
because
of
flooding
concerns
still
nothing
the
next
day
it
wasn't
until
almost
noon
before.
Finally,
in
the
morning
there
was
still
no
listing
on
either
City
or
the
South
Carolina
emergency
management.
B
Finally,
I
called
city
services
about
shelter,
information
I
was
told
to
call
the
county
I
called
the
county
and
they
said
two
shelters
would
be
open,
one
at
Aldersgate
church
and
one
at
the
Leeds
Avenue,
the
old
jail.
That's
what
meant
by
Work
Camp
Work
Camp.
You
couldn't
look
up
so
vocabulary:
clarity
when
I
called
they
said
there
was
no.
B
They
gave
me
an
a
phone
number
for
Aldersgate
I
called
them.
There
was
no
answer.
I
tried
several
different
extensions.
Finally,
left
a
message
asking
for
information
for
the
Leeds
Avenue:
they
didn't
have
a
number
available,
so
I
called
Telluride
about
arranging
for
a
ride
and
the
county.
Doesn't
it
was
told
the
county
doesn't
arrange
that
I
would
have
to
call
Telluride
directly
because
they
weren't
sure
when
the
service
bus
service
would
stop
I
called
Telluride.
B
They
weren't
sure
when
the
service
would
stop,
they
didn't
know
where
the
shelters
were
or
if
they
could
provide
rides,
and
they
told
me
to
check
back
so
then
I
called
the
Red
Cross.
All
I
got
was
an
answer
service
and
left
a
message,
never
heard
anything
back
by
one
o'clock:
ABC
News
lists
just
Leeds,
Avenue
I
called
the
county
back
about
accessibility.
They
don't
have
about
the
county.
B
Lalites
Avenues
shelter
they'd
had
no
idea
about
accessibility
about
electricity,
about
generators
or
backpacks,
who
didn't
know
that
last
thing
that
was
the
County
Emergency
Management,
okay,
okay,
so
they
said
they
would
call
and
check,
and
when
I
asked
about
Transportation
I
was
told
quote
we're
not
arranging
Transportation
at
this
time.
You
would
need
to
arrange
that
yourself,
so
they
called
back
about
10
minutes
later
to
confirm
accessibility
at
the
Leeds
Avenue
location.
B
I
then
called
at
two
to
call
Telluride
about
making
reservations
and
about
how
long
tell-ride
was
running
and
about
getting
to
this
to
leads
and
I
was
told
we're
not
handling
that
I'll
transfer
you
to
my
supervisor,
I
was
given
a
voicemail
I
left
a
message
asking
for
a
call
back
about
arranging
a
ride
about
two
hours.
After
that
Aldersgate
church
called
back
now.
They
said
they
were
taken
off
the
list
because
they
can't
open
the
shelter
due
to
building
storm
range
ratings.
B
So
now,
there's
only
one
shelter,
I
called
the
bell
and
still
didn't
receive
any
information
called
the
county
back
again
asking
about
a
ride
explaining
that
I
was
being
bounced
between
in
them
and
tell
a
ride.
The
county
called
back
to
give
me
two
phone
numbers
to
tell
ride
that
I
already
had
and
was
told
to
call
them
I
finally
called
Telluride
back
again
and
got
through
the
dispatch
and
was
finally
told
by
one
of
the
dispatch
workers
that
it's
not
a
mandatory
evacuation.
B
B
B
B
The
bathroom
is
usable.
What
was
interesting.
There
was
literally
only
two
bathrooms
at
the
front,
one
being
held
back
for
staff
I
never
got
into
one
that
the
one
that
was
in
the
front
because
one
of
the
sheriff
officers
looked
at
me
and
she
goes.
Let
me
bring,
and
then
she
opened
one
in
the
back
for
me
and
and
that
became
available
to
people
as
well.
B
My
understanding
from
some
other
folk
was
that
the
one
in
the
front
got
really
nasty
in
terms
of
the
conditions,
so
it
I
was
grateful.
It
was
there,
but
then
they
made
it
very
clear.
Everybody
has
to
be
out
by
10
o'clock
the
next
morning
and
it
was
quite
the
process
to
arrange
for
Telluride
to
come,
get
me
to
bring
me
home,
so
there's
some
glitches
around
here
where
communication
between
people.
B
A
A
B
Yeah
and
start
there,
it's
just
Again
part
of
it
is
communication
and
I
was
particularly
focused
because
they
kept
talking
about
how
bad
the
flooding
could
potentially
get,
because
it
was
the
Moon.
It
was
the
storm
surge.
It
was
the
timing
of
the
storm
and
it
got
pretty
bad
downtown.
Luckily,
it
did
not
get
as
bad
by
me,
but
it
did
lap
the
bottom
of
my
wheelchair
ramp,
so
it
was
probably
good
that
I
went
because
I
mean
my
neighbors
are
saying:
well,
we'll
carry
you
upstairs
and
it's
like.
B
You
can't
leave
my
chair
down
there.
You
know
and
losing
power
so
anyway,
so
that's
just
a
quickie,
it's
again
lack
of
communication.
It
needs
to
be
mounted.
Then
there
was
also
the
thing
with
city
services,
because
city
employees
are
being
let
go
early
that
next
day,
so
there
wasn't
always
somebody
at
the
phone,
so
it
just
needs
to
be
a
a
clearer
system.
