Blue Ribbon Committee for People with Disabilities Meeting 062123
A

Want
businesses
generator
to
take
and
it
has
different
levels
of
commitment
and
they
would
need
to
view
some
videos
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
Christine,
okay,
the
level
of
videos
or
the
number
of
videos
that
they
view
is
the
level
of
partnership
that
they
have
from
bronze
to
Gold
I
believe
and
these
businesses
will
display
a
logo
that
will
tell
families
with
children
with
autism
or
special
needs
that
they
are
autism
friendly
or
are
disability
friendly?
Okay.
So
that's
what
we're
working
on
right
now,
yeah
presented.
F
F
D
G
G
I
know
that
we
are
acting
with
student
disability.
I
also
wanted
to
wake
up
to
the
board
to
bring
back
up
the
accessibility,
parking
awareness.
I
think
that
we
started
this
when
we
first
started,
and
it
was
amazing
we
did
PSA,
but
we
even
got
more
handicapped
parking
available
at
at
Monday.
Just
people
to
remember
that
handicap
parking
is
not
going
to
get
people.
G
I
did
have
a
parent
that
came
in
from
school
504
that
the
bus
was
parked
in
front
of
the
handicapped
parking,
so
she
couldn't
Park
well,
actually
the
Eagles
had
to
call
the
transportation
department.
You
know
the
buses
can
park
here
because
of
the
child.
You
know
the
parent
would
go
around
again
and
go
around
again.
Well,
that's
you
shouldn't
be
doing
that.
I.
G
A
A
Okay,
so,
and
so
sometimes
I
think
what
happens
is
that
one
of
the
family
members
may
be
deserving
that
permit
okay,
but
if
you're,
not
with
that
individual
in
the
car.
At
that
time,
I
think
you
should
move.
You
know
hold
back
in
the
strength
of
taking
the
space.
That's
that's
really
needed.
Okay,
and
sometimes
it's
very
difficult,
because
I
know
that
I've
had
I've
had
clients
where
they
they're
the
type
that
need
a
wheelchair
that
they
have
hooked
up
to
the
top
of
their
car.
E
H
Shares
the
awareness
with
specific
Flyers
catered
to
being
able
to
announce
our
program,
so
it's
resources
as
well
I'd
be
happy
to
share
with
our
Pio
again.
The
awareness
is
that
when
we
put
out
our
flyer,
it's
directed
by
the
marriage,
Blue
Ribbon
committee
with
efforts
and
support
from
our
program
in
case
there's
any
resources
the
family
might
need.
If
that's
okay,
yeah.
I
B
B
B
An
I.T
director
so
but
we'll
try
to
proceed
with
any
pending
projects
that
were
there
like
Christine
mentioned,
we
do
have
public
information
Specialists
within
the
health
department
that
are
very
active
in
our
social
media
channels.
So
what
we
can
do
is
whatever
rollout
we
have
on
Graphics
or
awareness
of
the
different
topics
or
or
whatever's
designated
for
that
particular
month.
We
can
go
ahead
and
add
y'all's
logo
as
part
of
oh
God,
so
we'll
provide
that
instructions.
A
Out
yeah
yeah
there's
you
know
that
that's
just
for
somebody
who
may
not
know
the
the
number
of
parking
spaces
have
not
been
increased
or
the
the
policy
of
requiring
increased
number
of
of
parking
spaces
for
our
individuals
with
disabilities
has
not
changed
in
the
last
20
or
30
years.
So
you
need
like
one
space
for
every
twins,
other
spaces
or
one
to
twenties,
to
one
to
25
or
something
like
that,
and
we
had
proposed
to
increase
it
from,
or
at
least
a
two
or
three
for
25..
A
I
A
B
Trigger
my
my
mind
here,
but
they
did
make
mention
that
these
were
you
know,
State
enacted
requirements,
whether
or
not
we
could
do
more
I
mean
also.
We
have
to
consider
changes
in
in
Staffing
and
perhaps
wanting
to
revisit.
We
can
check
with
Dr
Chamberlain
and
I
do
apologize
on
his
behalf.
He
had
a
conflict
in
his
schedule,
so
he
was
unable
to
attend,
but
we
can
go
ahead
and
revisit
maybe
bringing
back
directors
of
building
or
Planning
and
Zoning
so
that
we
can
continue
the
discussion
of
the
assigned
parking
spaces.
B
I
know
that
there
are
private
and
entities
that
take
it
upon
themselves
to
do
above
and
beyond.
What's
required,
I
want
to
say:
Target
is
one
of
them.
They
have
more
spaces
than
than
than
the
minimum
is
and
I
want
to
say,
there's
other
again
private
businesses
that
do
so.
What
we
can
maybe
do
is
incorporated
or
further
discussed
it.
There
are
all
kinds
of
Mind
plan:
we've
just
launched
the
stakeholder
pledge,
and
maybe
again
maybe
we
cannot
mandate
a
requirement
or
an
updated
minimum,
but
highly
encouraged.
B
I
Your
attention
that
the
mayor
spoke
quite
eloquently
at
our
pledge
meeting
I
remember.
The
statistic
he
quoted
was
something
like
a
quarter
of
the
population
now
is
found
to
have
some
type
of
disability
and
I
remember
way
back
before
code
that
we
started
looking
at
the
number
of
platforms
that
were
issued
from
Laredo,
and
we
looked
at
stats
in
the
state
in
the
USA
and
I.
Remember,
share
also
discussed
with
us.
The
projection
for
even
more
people
with
disabilities
have
baby
boomers.
Like
me,
get
older.
I
People
still
have
to
use
it
using
a
folding.
The
statistics
that
our
mayor
Davis
and
the
pledge
to
make
a
backwards
give
us
some
I,
don't
want
to
say
fuse
in
a
fire
as
beautiful
apartment.
That
would
give
us
more
just
get
the
patient
for
our
request
to
consider
the
possibility,
or,
as
you
say,
encouraging
within
the
parameters
of
the
Pledge
would
be
a
great
thing.
Hopefully,
if
we
can
incorporate
it,
I
think
there
would
be
a
really
helpful
thing.
A
Sure
I
think
I
want
to
see
what
I.
What
I
remember
is
that
it
was
a
state
policy
and
the
city
could,
on
its
own
change,
choose
to
or
vote
to
change
those
numbers,
but
just
to
give
you
all
an
idea
we're
talking
about
years
ago.
It
was
over
4,
000,
placards
out,
okay
or
registered
parking
permits,
and
it's
in
the
city
issues
out
like
11
or
1200,
or
1200
more
black
versus
permits
every
year.
So
when
you
do
the
math,
it
just
doesn't
add
up.
A
Okay,
it
just
we're
not
keeping
up
the
other
part
about
Laredos,
unlike
other
cities,
is
that
it
look.
It's
a
name
function
of
other
people
from
Mexico
and
those
those
pyramids
and
placards
are
also
valid
here
and
so
you've
got
the
radio
citizens
as
well
as
your
Cloud
residents
from
Mexico
fighting
or
trying
to
figure
it
trying
to
get
into
those
parking
permits
as
well
into
those
parking
spaces.
A
I
G
B
Okay
and
just
so
that
I
have
my
layouts
correct,
so
we're
going
to
recirculate
the
PSA
on
these
Festival
parking,
our
public
information
Specialists
from
the
health
department
will
develop
Graphics
to
include
the
BRC
logo
on
the
upcoming
awareness
months
and
then
in
terms
of
the
accessible
parking
spaces,
we'll
maybe
drop
something
and
further
the
discussion
on
recommendations
into
the
all
kinds
of
Minds
on
again
something
above
the
minimum
for
accessible
parking
within
private
businesses.
Is
that
all
correct?
B
Okay,
so
I
mean
I,
I
heard
it,
but
I
got
a
call.
I'm
sorry
I
believe
we
were
talking
about
a
former
BRC
member
that
was
involved
in
the
volunteer
group
with
the
with
the
police
department.
We
do
have
some
contact
with
parking
enforcement
that
maybe
we
they
could
also
come
in
in
an
upcoming
meeting
to
discuss
kind
of
where
the
program
is
or
how
a
person
can
become
a
volunteer
for
that
program.
If
it's
still
this
past
February,
it
seems
like
it
was
still
a
notion.
B
A
A
K
K
K
So
it
requires
a
lot
of
compliance
issues,
regulations
and
reading
them
up.
So
it's
a
lot
more
to
you
know
it's
a
little
complicated,
but
at
the
same
time,
I
also
want
to
introduce
our
assistant,
general
manager
of
operations
and
and
maintenance
she's
here
to
answer
all
the
tough
questions
and
then
I
also
have
Sandy
esposa.
Who
is
our
operations
manager
and
they
are
directly.
You
know
we're
all
indirectly
involved
in
not
just
the
event
program,
but
the
services
that
we
have.
So
let
me
talk
about
that.
We
do
have
two
Services
right
now.
K
But
we
also
have
a
very
unique
service,
which
is
the
Lyft
service
program.
Both
services
are
federal,
funded
state
funded
okay,
so
they
have
certain
required,
the
feds
and
everybody.
They
have
certain
requirements
that
we
have
to
follow
certain
guidelines
and
we
have
policies
in
place
for
this
service
right.
K
However,
you
know
there
are
people
that
need
a
little
bit
more
and
they
can't
get
to
a
bus
stop
within
a
certain
radius
or
whatever,
and
so
we
provide
BMS
service.
So
we
have
to
find
off
requirements
any
agency
in
the
state
or
throughout
the
human
who
offers
bus
service
has
to
have
them.
You
know
because
they
made
my
college
service
and
they
call
it
a
Paratransit
service
or
Ada
service
or
something
else,
but
the
Elder
para
transit
services.
K
It
provides
a
shared
right,
it's
a
curb
to
curve
assistance
to
the
door
of
your
requests
of
our
clients.
So
we
can't
start
our
operators
can
go
inside
the
house
or
they're
not
allowed
to
do
that.
But
if
somebody
needs
assistance
to
their
door,
we
we,
our
drivers,
will
have
helped
us
this
okay,
but
that's
that's
really
about
all
that
they
can
do
we,
we
don't
allow
them
inside
anybody's
house
or
property
other
than
just
the
front
door.
K
There
was
a
little
misunderstanding
and
I
want
this
to
the
government
to
know
who
anybody
really
to
take
an
opportunity.
I
know
he
has
access
to
to.
He
does
a
lot
of
work
at
the
at
the
Workforce
Solutions
and
help
to
provide
them
with
on
online
type
of
things.
So
he
can
look
and
listen
to
all
the
guidelines
and
policies
that
that
are
currently
being
placed
with
their
lives.
And
you
know
you
can
make
suggestions
recommendations,
but
we
have
to
follow
certain
guidelines
at
the
federal
government
and
what.
D
K
K
That's
you
know
the
service
that
we
have
is
it's
on
paid
so
that
we,
the
services
that
that,
when
you
call
in
for
schedules
it's
up
to
seven
days
now,
we
prefer
I
mean
up
to
20
just
24
hours,
but
and
at
least
because
people
start
remembering
there
are
some
agencies
that
have
up
to
two
weeks
and
I.
Think
this
one
used
to
be
up
to
two
weeks
at
one
point.
K
Okay,
okay,
which
is
great
so
because
we
a
lot
of
people,
forget
they,
you
keep
it
too
long.
They
forget
about
their
questions,
inefficiency,
service
when
people
need
to
go
to
their
house
or
whatever,
to
pick
them
up
and
they
forget
it
and
there's
a
no-show
cancellation
and
there
we
go.
You
know
what
I'm
saying
so:
it's
it
causes
that
issue
so
seven
days,
I
think
is
a
reasonable
yeah
and
so
I
want
to
reassure
that.
K
That
is
listen
to
the
policies
and
then
let
me
know
if
there's
something
in
there
that
doesn't
make
sense
or
people
don't
understand
that
I
know
these
words
his
concerns
to
other
or
his
Advocates,
that
which
is
great
because
other
people
that
are
that
use
the
service
called,
run
and
reuse
the
service.
Because,
prior
to
code,
we
had
a
lot
more
appliances
in
the
system,
both
fixed
Rob
and
a
little
okay.
K
Medical
appointments,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
people
that
come
across
and
they
use
the
services
and
it
has
increased
from
last
from
2021
to
2022,
we've
seen
an
increase
of
42
percent.
Okay.
So
that's
that's
a
major
increase
in
services
this
year.
The
trend
right
now
is
10
higher
than
it
was
last
year.
So
we
are
seeing
a
very
positive
trend
to
give
you
to
give
you
a
little
bit
more
background
pre-covered
when
we're
over
two
point:
something
million
2.3.
K
K
K
K
I
was
with
that
Metro
back
in
97..
Okay,
I've
worked
for
the
metro
in
a
different
country
for
10
years,
so
I
am
familiar
with
the
rainbow
okay
and
the
people,
the
drivers
and
everything.
Now
that
I'm
back,
it's
even
better.
You
know
it's
wrong.
We
have
approximately
about
180
employees,
muscle
members,
and
we
have
like
a
20
million
dollar
budget
so
before
when
I
left
before
we
were
about
13
million,
and
now
it's
20
reasons.
That's
how?
K
K
Which
tells
me
that
yeah
there's
more
people
out
there
who,
probably
in
the
Electoral
the
live
fight
when
I
first
arrived,
was
saying
how
come
my
numbers
are
so
down.
You
know
when
I
left
here
it
was
over.
We
had
over
2
000
clients
and
things
like
that
were
down
about
900
and
something
you
know.
We
need
to
get
this
thing
back
up,
but
I
understand
that
critical.
It
caused
a
lot
of
issues
with
being
able
to
fund
the
services
as
it
was
because
of
the
ridership
was
very
down,
so
they
cut
some
Services.
K
You
know,
but
now
it's
time
to
we'll
try
to
build
that
back
up.
Okay
and
I'm
here
to
promote
that
we
currently
have
seven
or
eight
bands.
Eight
eight
eight.
We
do
have
an
extra
band
if
needed.
We
add.
If
need,
we
have
service
and
they
can.
If,
if
we
get
the
calls,
that's
what
those
other
bags
are
for.
L
L
D
L
L
A
A
H
A
M
K
Now,
if
you
have
a
dialysis
patient
or
things
like
that,
then
we
already
have
them
pretty
much.
They
we
already
know
their
schedules
yeah.
You
know
they
have
to
be
and
they're.
You
know
within
a
certain
time
or
whatever,
but
we
we
do
have
a
30
minute
window
to
pick
them
up
yeah.
You
know
even
like
that.
Sometimes
there's.
If
drivers
will
get
there
and
they're
not
ready.
L
N
N
I
N
N
D
N
M
N
K
It
takes
time
before
somebody,
okay,
sometimes
I,
don't
take
the
time
to
read
you
can
we
have
a
will
call,
you
know,
for
maybe
people
that
need
a
a
return
trip,
but
they're
not
sure
exactly
when
they're
going
to
be
returning
so
to
put
them
in,
we
will
call
this
and
then
I'll
call
you
and
let
you
know
I'm
ready
and
then
we
have.
We
can
pick
you
up
within
a
certain
amount
of
time.
D
K
We
will
be
introducing
soon
well,
not
soon
I,
say
soon,
but
soon
it's
a
year
for
me
soon
with
maybe
a
year
or
maybe
a
year
and
a
half
we'll
be
introducing
on-demand
type
of
service,
which
is
a
micro
transit.
In
other
terms,
like
you're,
looking
like
looking,
you
can
look
it
up
on
my
micro,
Transit
type
of
service
on
demand
and
what
the
the
beauty
of
that
that
system
is.
That's
more
like
an
Uber
yeah,
so
people
that
may
need
a
cheaper
type
of
ride
than
Uber,
because
we
can
afford
it
right.
K
We
will
be
able
to
offer
a
cheaper
right,
maybe
not
as
cheap
as
they
have
lived,
but
maybe
something
in
between
and
and
what
we
can
offer
on
demand,
and
you
scheduled
an
appointment
on
your
cell
phone
and
all
of
that,
it's
going
to
be
the
beauty
of
that
and
you'll
be
able
to
be
picked
up
within
15
minutes.
You
can
select
plan
and
all
that
just
like
we
do
now
with
Uber
and
all
of
that.
So
it's
going
to
be
an
awesome
thing,
but
it's
right
now
we're
doing
a
study.
K
We're
going
to
be
trying
to
implement
it
and
get
the
study
going,
and
but
yes,
we
will
be
offering
that
type
of
service
in
the
near
future.
Other
agencies
are
already
doing
it,
we're
familiar
with
it
as
HCG
all
right.
So
that's
what
we're
going
to
be
bringing
in
the
council
is
all
in
support
of
it
and
things
like
that.
So
that'll
help
you
that'll
help
without
all
the
congestion
issues,
not
just
Ada
type
of
issues,
but
also
congestion
in
Mines,
Road
and
other
people.
We
see
a
lot
of
rigs
all
over
the
place.
K
A
E
K
K
M
N
Because
I
kept
going
back
to
okay,
they
open
up
here
we
go
5
a.m
and
then
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays
5
30..
So
I
was
like
they
should
be
well.
I,
don't
see
anybody
going
in
that's
early
because
her
work
hours
were
from
I
want
to
say
she
made
to
be
there
at
6
30
and
she
was
out
of
the
school
by
3
30..
That's
an
Estonian
right.
N
K
K
N
B
D
B
K
B
K
K
We
have
the
transit
center
located
downtown.
What
we
call
a
wheel
and
spoke
type
of
system.
You
have
a
wheel,
you
got
your
spokes
right,
that's
the
the
middle
part
of
the
queen
is
the
transit
center.
That's
where
everything
starts,
and
then
all
our
buses
go
out.
All
the
buses
go
out
to
all
the
routes
and
everything
the
as
the
city
is
growing.
We've
already
going
to
be
making
recommendations
for
a
Northside
home
and
a
South
Side
hub.
D
K
E
K
K
We
currently
have
like
about
11
million
dollars,
which
is
not
enough
and
we
we
applied
for
a
20
million
dollar
Grant,
with
the
5
million
dollar
match,
which
is
25
million
plus
the
11
will
give
us
a
lot
more
money
to
help
us
re.
The
service
or
I
mean
the
the
operations
facility
that
we,
where
we're
at
it's
already
over
40
years
old,
and
it's
we've
already
exceeded
the
capacity
we
can't
put
on
demand.
I
can't
have
30
bands
in
that
facility
because
we
that's
one
of
it,
so
it
makes
sense.
K
Let's
go
ahead
and
we're
going
to
put
a
new
facility
making
this
daily
art
like
a
nice,
maybe
even
have
some
retail
spaces
there.
We
can
help
subsidize
the
service
with
accidental
leases
to
help
the
services.
So
that's
the
plan
right
now.
A
lot
of
people
don't
know
the
plan,
but
that's
that's
the
plan.
Looking
that's
already
in
the
works,
but
the
north
side
and
the
South
Side
hubs
we're
going
to
run
the
funding
form,
but
we're
going
to
go
after
some,
some
federal
dollars.
L
K
And
look
if
they
have
a
problem
that
you've
been
to
call
Sandy
directly,
and
you
know
she
will
investigate,
make
sure
that
it
was
going
on
for
some
reason.
If
it's
within
our
policy,
okay,
she
may
understand
it.
English
explain
what's
the
problem,
so
we
want
the
past
few
years.
We
want
to
build
it
back
up
to
wherever
it
was
and
get
more
Vans
out.
There.
I
I
I
K
I
D
H
K
D
D
D
N
I
Because
most
of
us
have
worked
all
our
lives
within
the
parameters
of
federal
and
sign
one.
So
the
question
is
more
more
pragmatic
and
if
I
have
a
disability
and
I
need
to
use
her
Transit
every
day,
is
there
a
procedure
or
a
vehicle
whereby
I
can
arrange
to
use
paratransitive
transit
to
get
to
work
and
back
to
my
home.
M
J
D
L
H
J
Because
I
know
with
Medicare,
there
is
a
system
like
that,
because
you
can
call
for
transportation
based
on
medical
needs,
so
you
can
like
call
in
advance.
I
like
book
a
watercolor
like
a
you,
can
kind
of
like
contract
a
driver
instead
of
taking
into
your
appointment
on
a
daily
basis
or
like
on
a
mid-based
type
of
thing,
but
I
think
because
it's
on
the
Medicare,
so
it's
like
giving
to
Medicare
bosses
this
one's,
a
public
transportation.
You
can
actually
deliberate
that
to
just
a
medical,
medical,
reuse,
usage
or
it
can
be
delivered.
D
H
And
some
of
the
families
and
I
do
really
into
it
again,
going
into
that.
Medicaid
benefit
is
completely
free
and
some
majority
of
these
appointments
that
are
set
are
two
months
three
months
six
months
in
advance.
So
they
have
all
that
time.
But
day
comes
the
day
before
the
appointment,
they're
kind
of
what
do
we
do
for
transportation,
so
they're
they're
left
with
calling
and
live.
J
H
H
D
K
K
C
C
But
I
can
understand
even
the
traffic
the
distances
having
to
go
to
Mines
Road.
We
go
20
miles
from
where
we're
at
because
of
the
rules,
and
then
they
want
different.
You
know
you
want
to
accommodate,
but
it's
hard,
sometimes
with
all
our
patients,
we're
saying
like
115
patients
right
now,
it's
Casey
and
all
of
them
all.
You
know
they
all
sometimes
take
Transportation.
So
it's
challenging.
F
F
It
says
no
physical
abuse
of
another
writer
or
the
operator
and
then
further
on
it
says
something
about
it:
refuse,
okay,
physical
abuse
or
or
physical
injury
to
another
writer.
Sometimes
this
happens.
They
have
a
meltdown
and
it's
going
to
happen
whether
Mom
or
Dad.
Are
there
or
not.
It's
going
to
happen
and.
F
F
Was
reading
this
and
I
was
like
okay?
Well,
then,
that
leaves
most
of
our
kids
out
yeah
because
they
have
their
little
iPads
to
regulate
their
behavior
or
or
sometimes
they
are
minus
30.
Sir,
and
just
a
couple
of
days
ago,
he
had
a
massive
meltdown.
Okay,
something
happened
and
it
just
wasn't.
He
can't
control
themselves,
so
he
had
them
and
he's
big
and
I'm,
not
that
big
and
my
husband's
shorter
than
I
am
so
imagine
to
try
to
handle
him.
Imagine
if
this
happens
and
that
lived
like
whoa.
D
J
F
D
K
M
L
Just
want
to
mention
that
our
Buzz
operators
they
go
above
and
beyond
they're,
extremely
the
ones
who
use
who
are
the
leaf
van
operators.
They
go
above
and
beyond
in
helping
each
customer
now,
sometimes
they
do
things
that
they're
not
supposed
to
where
they
go
above
and
beyond
and
helping
each
customer
that's
on
there.
So
it's
one
of
those
things.
Do
you
look
the
other
way
or
do
you
not.
L
N
L
Each
of
the
customers
and
Minnesota
has
been
a
bus
operator
as
well,
and
she
has
shared
many
stories
where
she
would
turn
on
the
radio.
While
she
picked
up,
you
know
certain
customers
and-
and
that
would
calm
him
down
in
the
van,
and
so
that's
what
makes
this
service
so
special
and
that's
why
we
do
take
this
very
serious.
When
we
hear
concern
about
our
services,
it
almost
feels
like
it's.
It's
hurting
at
it
hits
home
because
you
want
to
try
to
help
each
individual
and
hearing
these
stories.
L
Well,
can
I
go
with
you
know
with
so
and
so
and
I
said
yes,
of
course,
our
bus
operators
are
there
to
assist,
but,
like
Mr
agassa
mentioned,
they
cannot
go
above.
They
cannot
go
inside
a
facility.
We
can't
go
inside
your
home,
but
I
want
you
to
rest
assured
that
these
rules
exist
only
for
your
safety.
We
have
to
have
these
rules,
we
have
them
in
our
regular
bus
service
as
well,
but
it's
not
to
say
that
this
is
actually
going
on
and
where
we
know
we're
excluding
people
from
from
treating
them
many
differently.
A
Okay,
and
so
the
only
thing
you
can
do
is
probably
better
train
your
staff-
okay,
not
saying
they're,
not
already,
but
you
know:
I
I
run
the
community
center
for
many
years
and
my
employees
had
to
be
trained
on
in
the
prevention
and
management
of
aggressive
behavior
and
they
had
to
be
training
how
to
de-escalate
on
how
to
do
things
of
that
nature,
and
so
anybody
who's
in
public
service
and
deals
with
the
population
with
disabilities.
Okay,
it's
not
that
they
mean
to
be,
but
that's
the
way
they
they
get
frustrated
and
that's
they're
out.
A
That's
how
they
come
across,
but
we
have
to
be
bigger
than
that
and
understand
that.
That's
what
we're
dealing
with-
and
you
know,
I
understand
your
your
drivers
are
probably
are
confronted
with
a
lot
of
different
situations.
Where,
sometimes
you
say,
I
don't
know
what
to
do:
okay
and
because
that's
just
difficult
we're
if
you're
not
used
to
it,
you
sometimes
you're
having
to
do
a
couple
of
time
trying
to
calm
and
control
the
situation,
and
so
we
understand
that
you
need
to
do
what
you
need
to
do.
A
I
understand
that
as
I
came
from
that
environment,
and
so
you
know
whatever
you
do
you
just
need
to
understand
that
you're
you're
I,
guess
your
drivers
need
to
understand
that
they're
going
to
be
confronted
with
that
kind
of
those
kinds
of
situations,
and
you
know
the
abscape,
de-escalator
and
toilet
and
not
and
not
make
it
worse.
Okay-
and
you
can
make
it
very,
very
bad,
very
quickly,
so
I
think
that's
important
to
know
and.
B
B
Was
a
perfect
example
of
perhaps
you
know
some
of
someone
considering
the
service
reading
through
the
policy
wanting
to
adhere
and
thinking
I'm
gonna
come
up
with
this
challenge
because
my
you
know,
one
of
the
writers
is
going
to
require
that
iPad
or
that
assistive
technology
and
I'm,
not
an
adherence
of
a
policy.
That's
written.
J
B
This
allows
for
a
very
open
discussion
of
of
seeing
it
in
different
perspectives,
and
perhaps
you
know
we
we
might
not
be
into
a
lens
of
the
needs
are
for
someone
with
autism
spectrum
disorder
or
someone
with
a
certain
disability.
That's
why
we
need
to
kind
of
engage
in
this
and
look
at
the
policies
and
again
try
to
adhere,
try
to
try
to
be
respectful,
but
also
try
to
be
accommodating
for
people
with
disabilities,
so
I.
Thank
you
all
for
for
the
feedback
and
I'm,
pretty
sure
I
mean
Mr.
D
K
You
know
we
don't
have
food
or
drinks
inside
you
know,
I
mean
we
have
a
Burger
King
right
in
terms
of
time
and
you
can
buy
a
burger.
You
know
what
I
mean.
So
what
are
we
doing?
We're
kind
of
conflicting,
but
the
thing
is
we
don't
want
people
to
eat
or
drink
in
the
buses
right.
One
is
because
for
safety
and
the
own
is
because
of
roaches
okay,
because
it
creates
a
lot
of
roach
issues
and
then
we
have
to
have
to
deal
with
so.
K
But
you
can
have
your
your
partner
with
you
and
take
it
with
you
to
your
destination.
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
problem
with
that
I!
Don't
there's
there
shouldn't
be
a
problem
and
I
think
the
training
with
the
drivers,
sometimes
at
concealed
canned
Coke.
That's
not
open,
that's
not
a
that's
a
drink,
but
it's
not
you're,
not
drinking
it
right.
So
there's
that
difference.
So
we
we
need
to
train
our
drivers
on.
You
can
take
a
cook.
We
allow
them
to
go
to
HEB
or.
K
K
K
Again,
that
would
be
great
yeah.
We
couldn't,
you
know,
that's
that's
good,
you
know
we
we've
had
other
agencies
come
in
and
we
have
monthly
safety
training
with
all
our
operators
and
employers.
So
we
have
active
shooter
training
and
we
have
all
those
types
of
training
that
we
allow
for
drivers,
but.
D
K
F
To
make
it
even
better
and
have
people
comment
and
you're
going
to
be
the
Exemplar
of
what
we're
gonna?
What
Laredo
needs
I
was
going
to
mention
in
this
seven
or
eight
bands
that
you
have
research
having
a
sensory,
a
sensory,
bad,
a
sensory
box,
something-
and
these
are
like
bubbles
for
our
kids
or
or
different
kinds
of
textures
for
our
kids-
maybe
slime,
yes,
because
it
calms
them
down.
Okay,.
F
To
de-escalate
well,
then,
your
driver
will
see
this
and
and
say:
oh
well.
We
have
a
sensory
bus
here,
you're
not
going
to
give
the
Sentry
bus
to
the
child
you're
going
to
ask
the
other
Mom
to
pick
you
know.
I
know.
Christine
is
really
good
about
when
she
has
her
meetings
with
parents.
She
has
a
sensory
activity
for
our
children.
H
D
H
Buses
can
be
loud,
you
know,
so
they
might
want
to
have
their
their
their
earphones
things
like
that
noise
cancellation,
headphones
and
then
the
social
store
is
really
giving
them
a
perspective.
A
visual
perspective
of
what
a
bus
is
how
and
who
the
conductor
is,
and
safety
being
seated
things
like
that.
B
For
Success,
so
maybe
even
kind
of
how
the
fire
department
does
that
they
showcase
their
fire
trucks
and
they
get
familiar
right
with
the
sounds
of
you
know
just
how
it
operates.
Perhaps
the
Metro
could
also
have
something
like
that,
where,
if
you
have
a
child
with
disabilities
or
sensory
concerns,
they
could
or.
B
F
All
so
I
would
I
I
brought
it
I
brought
it
up
to
Dr
Chamberlain.
We
have
the
sensory
part,
we
have
an
ADA
Park,
but
we
need
a
communication
board
now
and
this
communication
board
is
going
to
stay
like
swing.
So
if
I'm
non-verbal
I'm
going
to
go
point
to
swing,
I
want
to
swing
now
or
I
want
the
slide,
maybe
having
something
like
that
in
the
Metro
service,
because
we
all
know
we
have
to
wait
in
line.
We
have
to
wait
for
the
other
person
to
get
on
the
bus.
F
G
D
F
J
A
B
J
B
Things
were
actually
made
to
our
autism
surveillance
training
with
CDC.
We
were
actually
supposed
to
be
in
Atlanta,
but
we
had
flight
issues
so
they
accommodated
us
virtually.
So
we
can
get
going
on
that
training.
We
will
have
staff
on
board,
hopefully
by
next
meeting
you'll
get
to
meet
the
team
for
autism
surveillance.
B
B
What
else
we
visited
San
Antonio.
We
visited
the
Children's
Hospital,
the
multi-assistance
center,
very
productive
meetings.
We
did
kind
of
spark
interest
in
them
wanting
to
meet
or
come
down
to
our
community
and
meet
the
BRC
and
autism
Coalition
and
committee.
So
we
do
need
to
kind
of
work
on
scheduling
for
that,
but
