9
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:51.840
>> Yes. >> Okay. Um, I'm going to go through the work groups quickly. There are items that we'll be voting on. The first one is under ADA. Um, and there will be an item that I

10
00:02:51.840 --> 00:03:06.959
will be asking for your permission to vote on from uh for me to do something. Um, the ADA work group. Um Dan and I surveyed several polling places between

11
00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:21.599
the hours of 8:00 am and 2:30 on May 5th. Um and there will be some recommendations which are going to go before the city council on June 9th. And because this was a work group of a work

12
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:39.920
group of this commission, um I I I will share this ahead of time. I I'll make sure I get permission from Ryan Lions, but this is this is a a representative of this commission, Dan and I. We were doing it on behalf of the commission, too. So, I really feel that that I

13
00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:54.159
should that I'd like to share the information with the rest of the group, but it is coming on June 9th uh before the city council. So there there are going to be some changes um moving some of the polling places for

14
00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:14.760
example from housing authority places to um and elementary schools to places like um um like St. Anony's of the desert which is very accessible >> right? >> Yes.

15
00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:30.160
Um um I lost my train of thought. >> Yeah. >> And the highlight of the trip, Mr. Chairman, is we are getting out of the cand. >> That That's right. Um that's going to go

16
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:46.400
to Yeah, you you'll see all the places that that that the changes that are going to be made and some of the Yeah. some of the high-rise places as well. Um, one of the places that we would like to

17
00:04:46.400 --> 00:05:02.560
see become a polling place because of its accessibility to replace um, I guess a number of polling places that aren't very accessible, whether we're talking about parking or whether we're talking about

18
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:21.039
push pads being on the inside only for residents and not really accessible for the public who are using wheelchairs and so on or crutches or canes to go and vote is the liberal club which is closing and

19
00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:36.720
the issue appears to be that there is still part of the place where they serve alcohol. The state is going to come down and look at it and what we're trying to do is trying to put a rush on the state coming down here so that it can be

20
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:52.800
converted into a polling place. So, um, Mr. Lions and I are going to be working on a letter to the city council to write to the secretary of state. I would like from this commission

21
00:05:52.800 --> 00:06:08.639
um, and okay for me to participate in writing this letter. Um, we'll make sure that it's on commission stationary as well so that so that the state knows that it's also coming from the commission. So, I don't know if there's any

22
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:23.520
questions or if you want to put the M motion on the floor and then ask questions. >> Mr. Chairman. >> Yep. Uh I I'm I I'm I'm prepared to make a motion in one second, but I'd just

23
00:06:23.520 --> 00:06:40.160
like to say uh we had a very productive day on the trips uh with with Ryan Wyans, his executive assistant, Lisa, uh director uh uh director Macassi from the traffic department joined us for a

24
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:57.919
period of time, uh executive director of the Four River Housing Authority, uh uh joined us for a period of time and we all had a very productive cohesive discussion about the issues and to me

25
00:06:57.919 --> 00:07:14.720
and I don't want to put words in the chairman's mouth to me the biggest hindrance is parking and accessibility uh and there's a fine line with the accessibility piece because uh although al although years ago I was

26
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:31.039
very much in favor of polling places being in uh senior and disabled housing. I've since uh did a 180 on my viewpoint about that because I I I think uh that

27
00:07:31.039 --> 00:07:49.360
there's a sort of a hindrance and a double standard between accessibility for the public to get in to vote and accessibility uh for a person accessing their home. So, this uh proposal that uh Ryan Wyans

28
00:07:49.360 --> 00:08:05.440
is going to draft uh for the city council uh to change some of these polling places uh is a very good start. Particularly, I'm elated that we will be out of the most disastrous polling place

29
00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:21.599
we've ever had in former history, uh, which is the Candas Fire Station, which is just an abomination and should have been condemned as a polling place years ago for safety, accessibility, and a

30
00:08:21.599 --> 00:08:36.640
thousand other reasons. So, uh, I would actually like to make, uh, two motions, Mr. Chairman, for two separate letters. >> Okay. First, first, I'd like to make a

31
00:08:36.640 --> 00:08:51.600
motion, uh, for you to work with Mr. Lions uh on uh making the getting the state down here uh to approve the Liberal Club

32
00:08:51.600 --> 00:09:07.120
as a polling place uh to to replace some of the existing polling places. That's one. But my second motion would be uh to

33
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:25.120
uh cuz Ryan Lions has a plan going before the city council on June 7th and and I would like this commission to get on board uh endorsing that plan especially because uh Dennis and I took

34
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:42.000
the time on a six and a half hour trip day to go and inspect a and uh th this plan is much more viable and clearly in in the best interest of disabled

35
00:09:42.000 --> 00:10:00.200
residents in my opinion and I believe Mr. Poei believes the same. So therefore I'd like to see uh two separate letters requiring two separate motions and votes to that effect. Thank you. I yield

36
00:10:01.839 --> 00:10:17.519
I don't think I could have said it any better. In fact, I didn't. So So that that was really that was a good summary, too. Um um it really was a good day and and I think it's important that the that the whole that the commission as a whole be

37
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:34.000
on record. The city council meeting is June 9th. So, we can get it. We can get this. We can get letters, both letters before the city council before the June 9th letter uh meeting, but I think it's good for the commission as a whole to uh

38
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:50.720
to be on record about this. So, um we'll we'll take these motions. >> Could you would you would you let's take the first motion first, Dan. >> Okay. Uh motion number one would be uh

39
00:10:50.720 --> 00:11:06.959
for uh Mr. Pelli to work with the uh elections director, Mr. Ryan Wyans in drafting a letter uh uh to I guess the city council

40
00:11:06.959 --> 00:11:24.279
uh encouraging the city council uh to write its own letter exped asking the state to come down here and uh evaluate and approve uh the liberal club as a polling place.

41
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:45.279
>> Okay. Do I hear a second to the motion? >> I'll second that, Lisa. >> Thank you. Uh, any discussion, questions? >> Okay, I'll entertain a roll call vote. >> Chairman Dennis Paulelli, >> yes.

42
00:11:45.279 --> 00:12:01.440
>> Commissioner Lisa Silva, >> yes. >> Commissioner Dan Robelard, >> yes. >> Commissioner Ann O'Neal Souza, >> yes. Commissioner K. Driscoll. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, that's the first motion. Um,

43
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:17.200
and now I'll entertain the second motion. My my second motion would be uh to have uh uh chairman Dennis Pelli on behalf of the for disability commission uh write a

44
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:33.760
letter to the for city council endorsing the uh the what I believe will be the first in a series of changes uh over the next couple of election cycles. um uh

45
00:12:33.760 --> 00:12:51.200
basically endorsing and fully supporting uh Ryan Ryan uh Ryan Lion's plan as the director of elections uh to move some polling places and the first the first leg of that is going to be on the city

46
00:12:51.200 --> 00:13:08.720
council agenda on on June 9th. So, I'd like to have this commission uh go on record with a letter uh written by Dennis Pulli as chair on behalf of the full commission endorsing the first leg of the plan.

47
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:27.360
>> Okay. Do I hear a second to that motion? >> Second. >> I will second Katie Driscoll. >> Okay. Uh are there any are there any questions or discussion to this motion? very briefly, Mr. Jim.

48
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:43.279
>> Go ahead. Uh uh th this is good because I I can think of three places uh where we will definitely be out uh once this plan passes and that is the two highrises

49
00:13:43.279 --> 00:14:02.000
on uh Pleasant Street and and of course uh the Candasa Fire Station uh which you and I have been working on probably for 10 years uh since former uh since former chairman Bill Fontaine, uh, who was a firefighter

50
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:20.160
as well, although he was retired at the time he served here. That's how far back we've been trying to get out of Candace. Uh, so uh, I I'm pleased at Punch that these three are going to be uh included

51
00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:35.839
in the first leg of the list. Uh it would be it would be my hope as one member of this commi uh of this commission that sooner or later we will be out of all schools and all highrises

52
00:14:35.839 --> 00:14:51.600
going forward. Uh so uh we'll we'll see how that shakes off. But I am elated with the first part of this plan. And also I'm also elated uh that we're out of Bristol Community

53
00:14:51.600 --> 00:15:08.320
College and we'll be using uh the uh the lobby area of the former uh NAGO Auditorium which is a very very big uh space and will uh will will serve the

54
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:27.440
people of that area well. So, thank you. I yield. >> Okay. Are there are there any other questions? By the way, the cand's polling place was in a garage. >> Um, are there any other are there any other

55
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:47.040
questions or comments or discussion? Okay, I'll entertain a roll call vote. >> Chairman Dennis Pelli. >> Yes. >> Commissioner Lisa Silva. Yes. >> Commissioner Dan Robblard. >> Yes. >> Commissioner Ann O'Neal Souza.

00:16:03.839 --> 00:16:20.399
to Yeah. is uh is the CAM training. Just to let everybody know that um by the way everybody almost everybody who participated in the day with us in polling places have also are also

registering for the community access monitor training. Um but it is on Wednesday June 10th and Wednesday June 17th from 10:00 a.m. to 300 p.m. for the community access monitor training. And I

59
00:16:36.160 --> 00:16:53.680
think because it's under this topic right now, um we're going to have to um reschedu the June 10th meeting. >> Mr. Seven. >> Yes. >> Uh thank you. Could I make a motion in

60
00:16:53.680 --> 00:17:11.720

66
00:18:52.240 --> 00:19:07.760
>> Commissioner Katie Driscoll, >> yes. >> Okay, motion passes. Um the next item is under policies is a did everybody get the um policy proposal

67
00:19:07.760 --> 00:19:25.520
that was that's uh proposed by commissioner Dan Robelard but written by vice chair Debbie Pico um concerning um having our city representative having our work group the ADA work group and if I'm getting this

68
00:19:25.520 --> 00:19:42.640
wrong can somebody correct me but um having our ADA work group meet with the city representative on a quarterly basis. Um I think that's Am I getting this right? >> M Mr. Chairman,

69
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:57.280
>> go ahead. >> Thank you. Um yeah, that's essentially right. Uh there there is language uh a as uh put in there by uh by vice chair Pico

70
00:19:57.280 --> 00:20:14.480
which I believe was uh was a inadvertent error on her part. Okay. A a as I drafted the the policy, the policy is only to speak a a and only

71
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:32.799
to deal with uh this commission through its ADA workg group or through its outreach work group, whichever one is available. uh only to meet with uh whoever the may representative is to

72
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:50.400
this commission on a quarterly basis. Okay, that there there's a line in there that says having to do with other department heads. Th this policy as I intended it has nothing to do with any

73
00:20:50.400 --> 00:21:07.919
department head uh within the city of Fall River except the mayor's appointed a mayor's appointed representative to this commission a as specified by chapter 40 section 8J of the

74
00:21:07.919 --> 00:21:25.520
Massachusetts general laws. So, what I would like to do is I would ask our clerk Sandy uh to read the entire policy as it was written by Vice Chair uh Debbie Pachico

75
00:21:25.520 --> 00:21:46.360
and then I'm going to uh once it's fully read, I'm going to seek an amendment uh to strike out the part uh that was not intended to be in there. All right. Wait a minute.

76
00:21:49.440 --> 00:22:15.559
>> Sandy, I'm going to email this to you >> cuz I I Okay, >> I'm just going to email this proposed policy to you. Um, and it's a straight email. It's not going to be an attachment. E R U E S M A L R I E R A O

77
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:47.760
>> Okay, it's gone. It should be heading your way momentarily. Okay, let's see. I am seeing the whole policy. All I'm seeing is the same thing that's on the agenda. So if it's that one sentence.

78
00:22:47.760 --> 00:23:06.159
>> Uh okay. So, so basically what what how uh if I could just sum it up in a nutshell since it's on the agenda, this policy is only to deal with uh the commission through either the ADA work

79
00:23:06.159 --> 00:23:22.960
groups or the outreach work groups to have a quarterly meeting with whoever the mayor's appointed representative is to this commission. That's all. >> Yeah, it's a very short. It's a very

80
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:38.559
short I mean I I can I can let Jaws read it to you, but it's a very >> I I I did sum it up, Mr. Ch. >> Okay, that's great. >> I can read what was sent. Um it was very basic on um the fallover commission on

81
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:53.280
disability or the ADA work group will meet at least quarterly with the mayor's appointed member to the commission or department heads regarding accessibility issues throughout the city. >> That's exactly what it is. Yeah, that's that's >> Yeah. No, that's exactly what it is. I'm

82
00:23:53.280 --> 00:24:09.840
like, "Oh my god, did I mess up?" Okay. >> Well, >> that's exactly what it is. That's what written by the vice chair. >> The the only thing is, Mr. Tim uh a as I proposed it and I should have written it

83
00:24:09.840 --> 00:24:27.039
myself probably but this the way the way that reads right now the way I read that it says we could only meet with department heads on a quarterly basis. So I I'm I'm going to

84
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:45.440
move to strike the words the other department heads because this policy is only to apply with meetings between the ADA andor the outreach work group and a

85
00:24:45.440 --> 00:25:01.760
mayor's appointed representative to the commission has nothing to do with us meeting with say the veterans agent or or the director of planning or the director of community maintenance or the

86
00:25:01.760 --> 00:25:18.799
director of buildings or any other department. It is strictly so that uh either work group of this commission can meet with whoever the appointed member of this commission is appointed

87
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:36.400
by whoever the mayor is. So that it's a standing thing but but but it does not affect any other department head within the city of Fall River. It's only this policy is only

88
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:52.240
applicable to the mayor's representative to this commission. >> Okay. So here's what we're going to do. I will entertain a motion then to reject this policy and then we will vote on a separate

89
00:25:52.240 --> 00:26:08.799
motion for your your proposed policy. Is that >> okay? >> So let's I think that's a clean >> that's the clean way to do it. >> So I will entertain the motion. Oh, go ahead. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Mo motion to

90
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:29.360
reject the current policy as written. Okay. Do I hear a second to that? >> Second by Annal Susan. >> Okay. So, just to be clear, folks, if you want to reject this p if you want to uh scrap

91
00:26:29.360 --> 00:26:46.799
this policy, we are voting yes >> to reject it. >> That's a that's a good clarification. Okay. Roll call. >> Wait. Are there any other Are there any other questions? >> Okay, go ahead. I'm sorry.

92
00:26:46.799 --> 00:27:02.320
>> Chairman Dennis Paulelli, >> yes. >> Commissioner Lisa Silva, >> yes. >> Commissioner Dan Rogard, >> yes. >> Commissioner Anna O'Neal Souza, >> yes. >> Commissioner Katie Driscoll, >> yes.

93
00:27:02.320 --> 00:27:19.919
>> Okay. Now, I will entertain a motion to accept uh Commissioner Dan Robel's proposed policy meeting with the city the mayor's representative on a quarterly basis through the ADA work work group or

94
00:27:19.919 --> 00:27:35.360
outreach group. And did I get that right? Just just >> Yep. and and and this policy is exclusively uh for meeting with the mayor's representative to this commission which

95
00:27:35.360 --> 00:27:51.760
is allowed under chapter 40 section 8J of the Massachusetts general laws. it th this policy does not apply or obtain or have any bearing or any other effect on

96
00:27:51.760 --> 00:28:10.399

104
00:30:09.679 --> 00:30:25.360
accessibility workg group. Um, I can tell you that uh that Diamond um pending the vote of this commission um has agreed to manage the

105
00:30:25.360 --> 00:30:40.880
website. However, um I'm a little um I don't know if I'm wording this right, but I'll I'll do my best with it. There are some details that I feel that we need to patch up before or we need to really

106
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:57.600
kind of lock up before I can before I can put this to a vote. There's some um it it it's going to be much less expensive than and even even under the under the current web master, it wasn't that expensive, but this is going to be

107
00:30:57.600 --> 00:31:12.880
even less expensive. But there's still some some little uh details that I I don't feel comfortable putting it to a vote today that I would like to um I'd like to put off until our

108
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:29.600
June 24th meeting so that I can so that the web accessibility the the website workg group can meet again with both Sam and with the head of the the diamond um web development department.

109
00:31:29.600 --> 00:31:47.039
So, >> motion to table. >> Yeah, that's good. That's what I'm looking for. Okay. So, um I will entertain a motion to table. >> Mr. Chairman, just for the record, if anybody has any if anybody has any

110
00:31:47.039 --> 00:32:03.919
questions, I will wi I will withhold my motion to table because once a motion to table is made, we need we need an we need an immediate second and then we need to immediately

111
00:32:03.919 --> 00:32:21.440
proceed to a roll call vote because a motion to table is non-debatable. >> Okay. Are there so let me see are there any questions on the the concept of diamond >> we make a motion to table questions

112
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:39.840
would be appropriate. >> Okay. Are there any questions on the concept of diamond managing our website beginning next year beginning in the fall. The the content of the website or the way it's being managed is not going to

113
00:32:39.840 --> 00:32:55.279
change. Um, in fact, I think we're using the same hosting company. So, there's not going to be any really changes in the way. It's just uh the management is going to change from Sam who has a full-time teaching job um in one of our

114
00:32:55.279 --> 00:33:13.559
schools in Fall River um to Diamond Regional Vocational Technical High School. So, that's the only change. It's going to be who manages the website. So, are there any questions before we move to tape to the table?

115
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:32.000
>> Okay, Dan, go ahead with your motion. >> Motion to table the the website item regarding Diamond Regional Technical Vocational. >> Do I hear a second? >> Second.

116
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:49.039
>> Okay, that's Lisa. Okay, >> roll call, please. We'll call right away. >> Chairman Dennis Paulelli. >> Yes. >> Commissioner Lisa Silva. >> Yes. >> Commissioner Dan Roblard. >> Yes. >> Commissioner Ann O'Neal Souza.

117
00:33:49.039 --> 00:34:07.679
>> Yes. >> Commissioner Katie Driscoll. >> Yes. >> Okay. Next item is old businesses. There any old business? Okay. New business. um and announcements and items from the commission. Um I have

118
00:34:07.679 --> 00:34:23.919
an item. It's kind of a breaking news, but but I would I would uh and I might need some guidance with this, but I do think this is an important issue because many of our contents use PCA services. So,

119
00:34:23.919 --> 00:34:39.440
let me tell you what I just received this afternoon from the Boston Center for Independent Living, which I quickly emailed everybody, but it was before this meeting. So, there was an amendment to restore $68 million from the PC from

120
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:57.119
the budget in cuts to the PCA service. Many of our constituents use PCA services. people with disabilities. These are people that um assist with the daily um independence for people with disabilities, bathing, cooking, all

121
00:34:57.119 --> 00:35:13.440
kinds of things that PCA's assist with. And there's been a $68 million cut. I think this was in the House budget. Last year, the governor tried to cut the pro uh the budget and the legislature killed that idea. This year, it's the

122
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:30.000
House of Representatives that made the cuts. So, we need to get in touch with legislators by the We need to get in touch with the Senate by late tomorrow afternoon. Um, and I sent everybody an email with

123
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:45.760
the link to how you can do that. But I would like and I need I may need some guidance on this because of the open meeting laws. Although I'll be very honest with you, I'm willing to take the heat on this because I would like the commission to go on record opposing this

124
00:35:45.760 --> 00:36:00.560
cut. We are representing our our constituents. We just found out about this this afternoon. Our next meeting isn't until June 24th and the deadline for comments or for advocating for this

125
00:36:00.560 --> 00:36:16.160
amendment is tomorrow afternoon at 5:00. So I I will see if there's an open meeting complaint filed. >> Mr. Chairman, can I help you with this because I know exactly how we can handle this parliamentally. >> Okay.

126
00:36:16.160 --> 00:36:31.680
>> Okay. Yeah. Th this is an item that came to our attention that was unforeseen a and could not have been put on the agenda. So, we have every right to to

127
00:36:31.680 --> 00:36:47.359
act on this as an emergency item and as something that came to us uh after the 48 hour open meeting law requirement had passed, there was no way we could have known it was going to

128
00:36:47.359 --> 00:37:03.599
come. and and so uh based on a parliamentary class that I took uh years ago uh when I was elected to the charter commission and I have seen the four river city council uh do this on

129
00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:20.960
numerous occasions when they have items that come in that are not foreseen within the 48 hours of the open meeting law. So I believe we are free uh to uh to act on this matter any way we choose.

130
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:36.720
If we get an open meeting or complaint, uh we would immediately refer it to Corporation Council Ramsey or Gary Howak, the ADA coordinator, either of whom would be capable of handling this.

131
00:37:36.720 --> 00:37:53.599
And we would just say exactly what I'm saying uh now. So what I'd like to do is I would like to write to Senator Rodri on behalf of the commission who is the chair of ways ways and means committee but he

132
00:37:53.599 --> 00:38:10.320
>> this is not this is going to the floor so he can vote because this is going direct this is this amendment is part of the budget debate which is already on the floor of the Senate. I think the Ways and Means Committee has already released their budget. So, this is going

133
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:27.200
to be on the floor of the Senate. So, I'd like the commission's permission and I'll do it now. >> Has have before I make the motion and I'm in full support of the letter and in full support of opposing uh any cuts to

134
00:38:27.200 --> 00:38:44.560
the PCA program. Um has has uh has the House voted on this already? Yeah, this is the h this No, I I think this is the Senate Ways and Means. This may be the Senate Ways and Means budget already. I

135
00:38:44.560 --> 00:38:59.760
don't think uh the House already passed its budget. >> So, this the Senate Ways and Means budget. I've been trying to >> Well, well, if if the House if the House has passed the full budget, then it goes

136
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:15.200
to the Senate. There's a number of committees that the the budget will go to on the Senate side and then the the Senate will come out with a full budget a and uh and pass their budget. If

137
00:39:15.200 --> 00:39:32.560
there's any changes, it it'll end up in what's known as a conference committee and the two houses will have to reconcile the budget. >> Okay? But if you guys read the email, there is a specific amendment and an amendment number. So this is already

138
00:39:32.560 --> 00:39:49.359
this is already an amendment. >> This amendment to restore the 68 million. >> So this is already an amendment. So it's all it should all be in the email that that I sent like just before the meeting started. >> Yeah. So my motion would be to have

139
00:39:49.359 --> 00:40:06.480
chairman Dennis Pelli uh uh on behalf of the forum of disability commission write to Senator Rodri and whomever else is appropriate uh to have the commission go on record

140
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:24.560
opposing the cuts to the PCA program and asking the Senate uh to restore the $68 million or whatever the exact number of uh funding cuts are. >> Okay. >> Commissioner, um chairman, can this

141
00:40:24.560 --> 00:40:39.920
Katie Driscoll, can I add a couple of comments? >> Yes. Um, so I actually I spent my morning right up until now at at the state house uh for some advocacy and you know uh discussed some of the workforce

142
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:55.520
challenges and you know right now as stated things have moved through you know the house and now we're at the senate. So it really is the time to act now. I know one of the items and I was you know with some of our team and and many others we were passing out again

143
00:40:55.520 --> 00:41:13.680
specifically some of the um support to co-sponsor some of the budget amendments can which includes the payback of things like PCA also AFC is another one that's at risk um and also so aren't the workforce wages of of the direct support

144
00:41:13.680 --> 00:41:30.960
um because of some of the benchmark studies were referenced we're were actually a bit of a backslide So, um there is some language already too if I know we had added on our website the Ark of Massachusetts in terms of resources and they have action

145
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:47.599
alerts that are already prepared um that that can support some of this language as well. So, you know that the public listening if they want to get involved and commissioners um again from a from a personal standpoint, you can send one of those action alerts. they go

146
00:41:47.599 --> 00:42:05.680
right to um your senator as well. So, I wanted to highlight that and then if there's any support needed in terms of that um letter to Senator Rodrigs, I support that. But Dennis, if I could be helpful and all on that, please please let me know. >> I will. I I had a little incident um you

147
00:42:05.680 --> 00:42:20.640
guys before the meeting because uh they set up a a QR code which is not accessible to blind people and I had to remind Boston Center for Independent Living that from a blindness perspective

148
00:42:20.640 --> 00:42:37.760
using sending us an email with QR QR codes was totally unacceptable. if you want. This is a cross-d disability organization and asking us to use a QR code which blind people are not able to access was

149
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:54.400
totally unacceptable. And that's why what you guys got was an updated email apologizing for the incident, but also a link um that you can contact your senators. There's a link and there's the exact

150
00:42:54.400 --> 00:43:11.119
information about exactly what the amendment is and I think there's even a number to it. So that's the update on that. So different the all disabilities need to be heard. You know that's how that works.

151
00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:25.599
So is there's a motion on the floor. Has it has it been seconded? Can I hear a >> I will second. Katie Driscoll will second. >> Thank you. All right. Are there any

152
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:51.680
further questions and discussion? >> Okay. I'll entertain a roll call vote. >> Chairman Dennis Paul. >> Yes. >> Commissioner Lisa Silva. >> Commissioner Lisa Silva. She might have had to drop off. >> Yeah, there's a lot of work related

153
00:43:51.680 --> 00:44:08.640
