BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE 031523 NO QUORUM
B
Yeah:
okay,
yes,
okay,
good
welcome
to
the
city
of
Riverdale,
Blue,
Ribbon
Community,
for
people
with
disabilities.
This
is
the
meeting
for
March
15
2023,
so
I
like
to
call
the
community
order,
and
the
first
item
that
we
have
is
to
review
them
for
the
midst
of
February
15th,
and
you
should
have
them
there
with
you.
B
B
E
E
A
G
H
H
B
I
G
H
B
B
H
C
B
No
you're
right,
some
of
the
items
that
were
there
were
were
Advanced
okay
because
they
came
at
one
point
or
another
and
I'm
not
sure
I.
Think
Erica
may
have
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
on
some
of
those,
and
so
she
brought
those
up
okay
and
so
they
kind
of
they
kind
of
like
got
mixed
stripping
in
the
in
the
order.
But
regardless
we
can
make
those
annotations
and
if
we
can
make
those
changes.
I
don't
know
yourself.
B
B
B
I
B
B
G
J
Gonna
go
ahead
and
let
Iris
start
with
her
report
under
the
initial
ground
for
people
with
disabilities,
we
are
going
to
report
some
of
the
webinars
and
workshops
and
activities
that
that
program
has
done
and
then
we'll
go
over
to
my
program.
All
right
so
all
starts
for
my
program.
Again.
It's
on
emergency
preparedness,
specifically
focusing
on
people
with
disabilities
for
my
program,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
talk
about
the
webinars
that
we
have
posted
so
in
relation
to
emergency
preparedness.
J
We've
done
two
webinars
online
dealing
with
the
topic
of
extreme
heat.
It's
important
to
inform
yourself
on
extreme
heat
because
summer's
coming
up.
I
know
the
weather
doesn't
look
like
it's
summertime,
but
we
need
to
prepare
ourselves
because
heat
related
illnesses
are
pronounceable,
and
so
we
should
inform
our
community
about
those
topics.
So
it's
stream
key
I
also
did
a
presentation
in
person
with
adaptive
Aquatics,
which
they
informed
the
community
on
water
safety,
and
my
portion
was
extreme
heat
so
again
like
more
Community
involvement
on
Extreme
Heats.
J
Our
our
program
just
to
follow
up
with
Echo
what
iris
was
saying.
We
had
an
inclusive,
Child
Care
project
that
was
held
on
February
25th.
This
was
on
a
Saturday.
It
was
a
three
hour
workshop
and
we
had
22
Learning,
Center
facilities,
attempt
and
in
total
of
the
66
participants
in
person.
At
the
event
in
attendance
we
had
BCI,
which
is
one
of
our
partners.
J
The
project
ninos
provided
ceu
training
on
developmental
delays
and
red
flags
and
better
being
able
to
distinguish
and
be
able
to
approach
families
on
these
delays
in
the
children
that
they
serve.
We
have
Laredo
College,
Camilo,
Parada,
Development
Center
director
educate
the
centers
on
the
asq
screening,
how
it
is
applied
and
how
it
works
for
their
Center.
J
Our
program
also
had
Iris
on
site
to
provide
education,
okay,
so
what
I
did
is
provide
education
on
what
is
called
psychological
first
aid,
since
we
are
dealing
with
Learning
Centers.
What
they
see
more
often
in
communicable
diseases
is
RSV
covid-19
and
the
flu,
so
in
preparation
for
that.
We're
still
seeing
the
after
effects
of
these
conditions.
J
J
Of
course,
we
advocated
about
early
detection
and
intervention
that
is
essential
for
these
Learning
Centers
to
help
confidence,
the
road
to
recovery,
supporting
children
with
intellectual
developmental
disabilities
who
have
experienced
trauma
if
that's
the
training
program,
that
I
was
part
of
that
was
co-hosted
by
the
Texas
council,
developed
developmental
disabilities
and
the
Texas
Center
of
disability
studies.
I
graduated,
so
I
graduated
this
last
Tuesday
and
I'm
happy
to
announce
that
now
I
am
a
master
trainer.
J
So
my
role
in
this
area
will
be
to
conduct
two
trainings
per
year
in
our
community
and
provide
to
provide
to
Providers
and
the
community
to
be
well
informed
of
the
resources
and
new
awarenesses
that
we
have
to
educate
them
on
our
fscr
program
collaborated
with
our
City
of
Laredo
Health
Department
training
Specialists.
We
had
the
state
conduct
and
hearing
and
vision
training
for
12
Health
Department
employees,
as
well
as
15
nurses
from
uisd.
J
J
J
This
past
month,
actually
this
month,
I
was
inducted
to
the
cdc's
ACT
early
ambassadors
for
Texas
Deputy
Ambassador,
with
Help
Me
Grow
to
the
Texas
Network
for
learn
the
signs
and
act
early
again.
This
is
initiative
going
into
the
developmental
screenings
and
project
that
we
have
under
our
master
plan.
We
want
to
be
able
to
again
educate
the
community
on
being
aware
of
early
detection
and
early
intervention.
J
Our
program
currently
has
720
clients
for
the
second
quarter.
Of
course,
our
target
has
been
reached
to
720,
but
we
are
continuously
growing,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
in
our
next
quarter
we
reached
the
ultimate
goal
of
the
year
or
exceed
the
ultimate
goal
of
the
year
for
the
state.
But
it
again
the
response
from
the
state
has
been
very
positive
of
how
many
families
were
able
to
assist
in
reach,
and
we
do
have
an
upcoming
event.
Would
you
like
to
talk
about
it?
We
have
an
upcoming
event.
J
This
Saturday
it's
going
to
be
hosted
at
eleven
Recreation
Center.
The
project
name
is
developmental
screening
and
Beyond.
This
screening
is
going
to
have
15
clinicians
on
site
being
able
to
screen
children
for
developmental
delays.
Three
of
the
screenings
that
we're
doing
is
the
asq,
which
is
the
basics
of
of
delays,
of
motor
skills
speech,
and
then
we
have
racq,
which
is
social,
emotional,
and
then
we
also
have
the
M
chat,
which
is
the
the
screening
developmental
screening
for
autism
early
signs
of
autism.
J
We're
also
emphasizing
that
developmental
screenings
are
not
just
once
a
year
or
just
once,
every
three
years.
This
is
a
con,
a
consistent
screening
that
could
be
done
at
home
if
there's
any
concerns.
So
that's
why
we're
working
one-on-one
with
each
family
and
educating
them
if
there
are
any
signs
of
delays
of
low
risk
to
high
risk,
we
have
Pathways
in
the
next
area,
which
is
a
gym
area
that
we
will
have
resources,
so
we're
going
to
have
hearing
and
vision
available.
J
We're
also
going
to
have
PT
screenings,
OT
screenings
speech
and
language
skills,
social
and
emotional
behavioral
skills.
So
a
lot
of
these
screenings
are
going
to
be
on
site
for
the
families
and
then
also
open
to
the
community.
The
only
thing
that
is
closed
off
now
is
the
appointments
for
the
developmental
screenings,
because
we're
again
this
is
a
pilot
test
project
and
we're
seeing
how
it
runs
within
the
450
appointments.
So
again,
this
is
a
developmental
screening
and
Beyond
project,
Beyond,
meaning
the
resources
are
going
to
be
a
One-Stop
shop
for
the
families
and.
E
E
J
H
F
J
J
A
A
F
One
last
thing:
if
you're
looking
to
train
you
might
want
to
consider
partnering
with
the
university
university,
has
different
programs
available
and
they
have
to
do.
Clinicians
have
to
do
hours,
so
it
would
be
great
to
have
homegrown
individuals
who
will
eventually
want
to
practice
in
the
city
about
it.
Definitely.
A
J
H
A
H
I
don't
know
in
the
past,
you
know
you
look
at
a
pediatrician,
as
the
you
should
say.
Developmental
expert
and
referrals
within
follow
from
there
I
think
now
we're
looking
at
possibly
turning
that
around,
where
the
community,
such
as
Christina's
program,
will
do
screeners
and
then
we'll
turn
around
and
inform
the
position.
Yes,
is
that
what
we're
saying
we're?
Turning
that
around.
J
Well,
our
goal
is
to
be
supplemental,
because
if
we
know
that
pediatricians
are
overwhelmed
in
the
sense
that
you
know
being
able
to
do
these
screenings
take
about
15
to
30
minutes
per
individual
and
knowing
how
they're
in
their
doctor
visits
it's.
It
could
be
a
little
bit
overwhelming
in
the
time
frame
of
being
having
other
individuals
scheduled.
J
So
our
our
goal,
even
for
the
Learning
Centers,
because
we're
collaborating
with
Learning
Centers,
is
to
be
that
supplemental
assistance,
because
there
are
Learning
Centers
that
are
administering
the
asq,
and
that
is
the
goal
to
make
sure
that
the
whole
support
system
of
that
child
gets
to
do
that
screening.
So
they
look
at
different
perspectives
and
angles
of
the
child.
D
J
Yes,
at
ECI
and
scanner
are
going
to
be
our
partners
in
this
project,
so
ECI
will
be
on
site.
We
have
uisd
and
child
find
in
the
school
districts
there
and
head
start
as
well.
So
our
goal
is
ECI
is
part
of
the
this
they're
part
of
the
group
of
screeners
and,
of
course,
the
the
zero
to
2.5
that
they're
screening.
If
there
is
a
low
to
high
risk.
B
B
I
see
you
need
to
identify
them
before
this,
so
you
can
start
the
writing
treatment
as
soon
as
possible
for
the
best
benefits.
So
you
you
made
reference
that
your
you
are
screening,
kids
between
the
age
of
zero
and
five,
it's
okay!
So
what
happens
to
the
older
kids
I'm
talking
about
the
kids
that
have
not
be
honest,
three-year-old,
I,
guess,
timeline
or
frame
that
so
is
most
beneficial
and
I
don't
know
Dr
within
draft,
maybe
I'm.
H
B
D
A
H
D
H
Would
support
the
requirement
the
school
districts
have
that
they've
got
to
have
a
program
in
place
for
each
child
that
may
be
on
the
Spectrum.
We've
got
to
get
those
IEPs.
Those
individualized
programs
in
place
for
those
children
by
the
age
of
three,
so
I
mean
that
whole
piece
of
evaluation
and
getting
all
of
the
different
things
together
with
its
otpt
speech,
language,
pathology
teachers,
everybody
has
to
get
together.
Do
their
piece
of
the
assessment,
write
the
report
and
have
to
have
the
plan
to
proposed
and
ready
to
go
before
the
interview?
H
It's
not
that
I
think
it's
very
important
Christine
is
looking
at.
You
know,
coordinate
all
these
to
coordinate
all
these
different
entities
within
the
community
to
support
the
school
district
to
be
able
to
do.
What
is
you
know?
People
in
schools
call
it
free
is
free,
which
means
have
everything
going
by
the
age
of
three
not
the
day
after
not
the
week
after,
but
before
needs.
D
J
And
echoing
what
Dr
ravinder
said,
you
know
our
goal
is
yes
early
detection,
early
intervention
there
could
be
an
environmental
factor
that
could
hit
the
child
after
age.
Three,
so
that's
something
we
take
into
perspective
of
making
sure
that
the
the
three
to
five
get
assessed,
but
not
only
that.
What
we're
learning
in
our
program
is
that
families
are
again
developmental.
Screenings
is
by
their
Milestones.
J
So
what
CDC
recommends
a
lot
of
families
just
wait
till
they
go
to
the
pediatrician
or,
if
not,
if
they
are
diagnosed
with
autism
or
a
developmental
delays,
they
just
go
by
the
diagnosis
and
no
longer
run
developmental
screenings
and
we're
trying
to
educate
families
and
some
of
the
families
we
do
have
scheduled
safe.
My
child
already
has
autism
or
my
child
already-
has
a
delay.
I
know
that
why
do
they
need
to
continue
to
get
screened?
What
we
want
to
see
was
the
progress.
Is
you
know
one
year
it
could
be
speech
one
year.
J
I
J
We're
also
trying
to
educate
families
and
encourage
them
to
know
is
that
if
their
child
does
have
a
dis,
a
developmental
disability
or
delay,
it's
still
critical
for
them
to
get
their
developmental
screening
to
see
where
they're
at
to
see,
if
they're
going
to
need
additional
assistance.
So
we
look
at
both
areas
of
of
new
children
in
the
developments
or
treaties,
and
those
are
already
exposed
to
it
that
have
a
diagnosis.
So
our
goal
is
again
the
education
behind
it
and
then
also
work
towards
the
provider
side.
J
Making
sure
that
you
know
later
on
during
the
year
having
a
workshop
to
educate
them
on
our
initiative
and
then
also
of
new
awarenesses
and
resources.
That
CDC
is
providing,
as
the
state
is
providing
us,
because
again,
they're
going
to
be
the
ultimate
support
and
decision
making
for
the
child
to
progress
in
their
intervention.
H
So
you've
done
two
faces
to
that
I'm
thinking
in
terms
of
Pediatricians
when
they
diagnose,
they
don't
tell
parents
of
spectrum,
they
will
say
PDD
and
it's
strong
until
they
get
into
these
other
assessments
that
we
use
that
language.
Then
another
thing
about
follow-up
and
ongoing
assessment
to
address
changing
needs
for
each
child.
Thank
God
that
schools
are
required
to
do
that
as
well.
So
that's
built
into
school
programs.
J
Yes
and
I
I
know
a
while
back
in
several
of
our
meetings.
We've
discussed,
surveillance
options
right
I
know
we're
already
acting
on
that
work
plan
of
the
surveillance
part
of
being
able
to
run
projects
like
this
to
see
if
there's
a
newly
diagnosed
child
at
the
age
of
three
or
four
to
start
working
on
that
system
and
getting
them
again
that
support
system
from
our
program
and
other
state
resources.
J
A
American
briefly
that
so
this
is
a
pilot
program.
This
is
the
first
kind
of
One-Stop
shop.
I,
think
Christine's
done
a
very
good
job
in
incorporating
all
the
different
partners
that
could
serve
as
safety
nets
for
those
children
that
again
might
have
a
late
diagnosis
to
get
them
into
care
fairly
quickly.
So
she
can
provide
a
more
extensive
report
on
the
outcomes
of
the
event.
We
do
welcome
you
to.
A
You
know,
promote
within
your
agencies
the
fact
that
we
will
have
this
resource
on
Saturday
at
11
Recreation
Center
in
South
Laredo
from
nine
to
one,
but
for
the
sake
of
time
and
I'm
going
to
be
kind
of
the
bad
cop.
Here,
maybe
we
can
touch
on
the
other
items
and
if
you
guys
have
additional
questions
or
comments
on
our
effort
here,
I
I
do
welcome
to
connect
with
Christine,
maybe
after
the
meeting.
H
Circle,
just
a
quick
caveat
when
you're
looking
at
behavioral
issues
for
kids
on
the
Spectrum
look
at
their
ability
to
communicate
because
many
times
the
behavioral
maladaptive
behavior
is
out
of
frustration
because
the
child
cannot
communicate
their
needs.
So
sometimes,
when
you
look
at
the
behavioral
piece,
please
also
consider
looking
at
the
speech,
because
many
times
it's
frustration
from
not
getting
their
needs
met.
That's
it!
A
Just
a
quick
point
of
order,
I
think
we
did
Skip
through
item
four
Tiffany
for
next
time.
We
can
still
number
of
the
items.
I
know
we
put
in
the
time,
but
then
we
lost
the
number
okay,
so
item
four
was
introduction
of
new
member,
but
I
did
want
to
tell
the
committee
she
she
did
mention
that
she
was
unable
to
attend
today.
So
we'll
move
this
item
to
the
next
meeting.
If
that's
okay
with
you.
B
So
yeah
I
was
gonna,
make
breakfast
for
right
now,
but
anyway,
going
back
to
my
original
question
that
I
brought
up
about
for
three
years.
It
was
primarily
just
based
on
the
idea
that
what
happens
to
those
children
that
are
important
five
now
and
they
are
being
identified
and
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
it's
still
providing
the
service
is
true
and
regardless,
yes,
okay,
thank
you.
A
Okay,
as
you
know,
the
health
department
did
present
to
city
council
our
first
draft
of
the
all
kinds
of
Mines.
That
was
something
that
was
shared
with
y'all
last
meeting,
which
is
why
we
ran
a
little
bit
long,
but
a
similar,
more
concise
presentation
was
provided
to
council,
it
was
approved
by
them,
and
that
is
why
we're
following
a
lot
of
the
initiatives
through
Christine's
program
is
in
line
with
that.
We
are
adapting
the
her
sub
blueprint
for
change.
A
We
are
moving
forward
with
the
partnering
of
the
private
sector,
so
we're
about
to
launch
it's
scheduled
to
launch
June
1st
through
the
building
department
on
that
pledge
for
private
businesses
to
pledge
that
they
want
to
be
more
inclusive
and
that
they're
willing
to
participate
in
training
and
then,
depending
on
the
numbers
of
trainings
that
they
compete,
they
will
be
designated
either
bronze
gold
or
bronze
silver
or
gold
status.
So
we
are
launching
those
initiatives.
We
do
continue
to
to
look
at
what
else
can
be
incorporated
to
this
master
plan.
A
F
J
Through
the
same
Trends
as
everyone
else,
we
would
recommend
them
too,
because
we
want
them
to
again
just
be
up
to
Parts.
Like
any.
Like
our
program
itself,
we
go
through
the
yearly
trainings
every
two
years,
but
those
existing
businesses,
the
way
we're
reaching
out
to
them
is
through,
of
course,
Partners
like
Chamber
of
Commerce
to
work
on
webinars
and
workshops
to
educate,
already
existing
business.
F
B
B
A
So,
as
many
of
you
know,
I
had
the
honor
to
present
to
the
governor's
committee
on
people
with
disabilities
that
happen
at
Laredo
College
last
month
it
was
very
well
received.
It
was
the
presentation
that
you
saw.
It
was
kind
of
a
mix
with
between
the
presentation
that
you
saw
last
month
with
the
presentation
we
provided
to
council.
They
were
very
happy
with
our
efforts
here
locally.
A
There
were
some
members
from
all
across
Texas
talking
about
wanting
more
information
to
see
how
they
can
implement
the
master
plan,
type
of
mentality
or
initiative
in
their
community.
So
that
was
a
very
you
know
very
encouraging
to
hear
they
did
ask
you
know
what
our
challenges
were
as
well.
So
we
did
talk
about.
A
You
know:
lack
of
providers,
the
fact
that
we're
medically
underserved
the
fact
that
we
might
not
have
a
good
data
set
of
incidents
in
our
community
for
certain
certain
conditions-
or
you
know
specifically
with
autism
spectrum
disorder-
that's
been
brought
up
by
the
autism
Coalition,
so
it
was
a
very
good
discussion.
They
did
provide
some
guidance
that
they
are
looking
to
unite
all
of
the
blue.
A
All
of
the
Committees
across
Texas
people
with
disabilities,
the
local
committees
so
that
they
and
then,
like
the
other
chair,
provide
a
routine
report
to
the
governor's
committee
and
then
act
on
whatever
items
they
see
come
up
from
the
from
the
different
communities.
So
overall
I
think
was
a
very
successful
presentation
and
discussion
and
we're
definitely
looking
to
continue
that
partnership.
With
with
the
members
and
the
staff
of
that
committee,.
B
And
I
was
able
to
go
in
the
afternoon
and
again,
just
to
read
reiterate:
they
were
very
happy
with
the
presentation
and
they
did
mention
that
there's
a
number
of
things
that
we're
doing
here,
that
they
would
like
to
disperse
or
disseminate
against
the
entire
state.
So
that
was
that
was
that
was
good
and
so
I'm
glad
I
was
able
to
build
a
very
interesting
subjects
that
they
touched
on.
They.
G
Sure
did
so
my
understanding
right,
because
you
know
what
is
the
purpose
of
the
committee.
You
know,
traveling
to
the
you
know
areas,
and
so
the
two
things
that
were
mentioned,
of
course,
was
to
highlight
Innovative,
Innovative
and
identify
service
gaps
and
resources
needed.
So
you
know
that's
what
they
do
they
go
around
and
they
go
to
these
cities.
What
are
you
doing?
What
are
your
best
practices?
What
could
we
learn
and
as
well?
What
are
they
doing
that?
Maybe
we're
not
doing
down
here,
so
it
was
really
good.
D
A
We'll
continue
to
share
of
the
meetings
they
are
also
provided
via
Zoom,
so
for
the
next
and
they
are
open
so
we'll
continue
to
provide
via
a
Tiffany
any
information
that
we
obtained
from
the
governor's
committee
so
that
the
committee
members
here
have
have
access
either
to
the
meetings
or
whatever
information
is
coming
down
the
pipeline
from
them.
So.
B
The
only
color
reason
that
initiated
that
meeting
was
because
there
was
an
item
on
the
edge
on
the
city
council
agenda
and
it's
eventually
the
fact
that
they
were
going
to
develop
an
ad
hoc
committee
to
address
special
needs.
The
needs
respected
individuals
with
with
special
needs,
and,
and
so
it
sounded
very
much
like
our
own
mission
and
vision
for
this
organization.
So
when
I
met
when
we
met
with
the
mayor
I,
my
question
was
I'm
concerned
because
some
of
the
members
are
saying
well
what
what
are
we
doing?
B
B
B
Just
we
may
just
overlooked
the
fact
that
you
already
existed
okay,
and
so
the
bottom
line
is
that
he's
coming
into
a
new
as
the
newest
as
the
most
recent
mayor,
okay,
and
so
yes,
it
would
be
understandable
that,
yes,
he's
not
expected
to
know
everything
that
goes
on
in
the
city,
okay,
so
so
that
was
he.
He
kind
of
like
addressed
her
concerns
about
that.
Okay,
but
some
other
concerns
that
were
brought
up.
B
There
is
items
that
we've
spoken
about
in
the
past
having
to
do
with
air
quality
and
the
issue
that
we
have
with
a
local
organization
that
exploits
or
is
emitting
poisonous
gases
into
this
into
our
systematic
Dr
rippinger
had
the
more
educated
conversation
with
him
about
that,
so
Dr
within
Jeremiah
put
BBA.
If
you
can
address
that
having
to
do
with
the
monitors
and
and
the
discrepancy
between
the
Texas
clean
air
agency
and
the
federal
level
agency.
H
Is
excellent
job
for
sending
to
the
mayor
in
a
very
succinct
way?
What
are
concerns
for
regarding
the
ad
hocus
committee
and
our
mission
statement
for
this
group
I
think
that
got
really
crystallized
and
clarifying
moving
on
I'll
keep
it
short.
I
was
very
impressed
with,
with
the
knowledge
that
the
mayor
already
had
and
I
was
very
happy
that
his
son
Victor
attended,
because
he
had
a
incredible
information.
More
than
actually
more
recent
information
than
I
had
he
talked
about
real
quick
I'll
show
you
a
quick
story.
H
But
we
also
cited
a
research
article
pinned
by
a
group
of
researchers
and
harbors
that
attested
to
the
fact
that,
and
he
used
the
word
white,
then
white
affluent
communities
create
a
lot
of
pollution,
but
the
ones
that
dare
the
weight
of
the
pollution
are
are
usually
people
like
us.
You
know
communities
like
ours,
Hispanic.
You
know
people
of
color,
we
end
up
with
the
brunt
of
of
the
carrying
the
the
heaviness
of
what
that
is
invention.
Our
chair
asked
why.
H
Why
was
this
company
allowed
to
even
come
to
our
community
in
in
2005?
And
they
said
if
well,
because
at
that
time
they
were
only
sterilizing
50
of
all
of
the
hospital
equipment,
medical
equipment
and
so
I
asked
well.
Where
are
we
now
how
what
percentage
of
medical
equipment
are
they
sterilizing
and
he
said
approximately
40
percent,
so
you
see
the
increase,
and
yet
Victor
explained
to
us.
H
He
said
our
mayor
said
he
explained
to
us
and
they're,
stating
that
the
admission
rate
is
the
same
2005
and
now
but
guys
logically,
how
can
that
be?
If
you
were,
you
know
creating
poisonous
byproducts
through
the
sterilization
process
of
50
of
all
now
you've
gone
up
to
40.
My
question,
logically,
is:
how
can
you
say
that
you're
admitting
the
same
low
levels,
further
they're,
not
even
measuring
they
are
required
to
measure
and
one
of
the
things
to
explain
towards
is
well.
If
it
were
a
nuclear
plant,
they
would
be
measuring
right.
H
H
I,
don't
know
what
the
answer
is
guys.
Maybe
you
all
do
or
I
don't
know.
I
know
that
the
people
who
live
in
communities
that
are
affluent
can
get
rid
of.
You
know
the
poison
in
the
air
in
three
months,
but
we
have
been
living
with
it
since
2005
and
I
wish
I
had
the
answer,
because
I
want
the
air
to
be
clean
for
everybody,
especially
for
the
children
and
people
with
disabilities
and
children
ability
I
mean
some
of
us
have
immune
systems
that
are
not
as
strong
as
others
and
I.
H
D
H
D
F
Absolutely
I
wanted
to
add
something
we
did
meet
when
we
met
for
the
mayor.
He
did
listen
to
some
of
her
concerns
and
whatever
was
bringing
equity
in
individuals
with
disabilities.
In
the
event,
that's
what,
when
it
came
to
employment-
and
he
said
he
was
going
to
be
meeting
with
a
new
city
manager,
I
believe
if
I'm
working
from
home-
and
so
that
really
brings
us
to
a
point
where
you
know
that
you
know
the
levels
of
playing
field
for
opportunity.
F
So
the
city
is
in
a
progressive
stage,
where
they're
learning
how
to
navigate
the
system
and
I
think
sometimes
especially
I.
Have
a
business
really
push.
I
might
not
always
make
him
happy,
but
but
they're
very
receptive
in
working
with
us.
It
just
takes
a
little
bit
of
their
little
bumps
in
the
road,
but
he
did
say
you
know
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
bring,
and
so
I
wanted
to
bring
that
up,
because
it's
a
good
idea.
