Committee Members Contact Information Update Sylvia Wilson stated since she is new to the department and the Committee, therefore, she asked for verification of Committee member's contact information. Each Committee member received a memo with their current contact information. Committee members were asked to verify their information and return the memo to Patsy Garcia. Abel Alonzo asked that a copy of the entire Member's contact information be distributed to everyone on the Committee as soon as it has been revised. 3.-- H:B-1473 Status - -- - - Sylvia Wilson stated since she is fairly new to the department and was not yet fully informed regarding H.B. 1473. Marc Denson updated the Committee members and stated the State Legislative Committee on Transportation regarding altered ADA placards was placed on consent calendar to be voted on in Austin. Mr. Denson believes there will not be any opposition to pass the bill. Current law states that a counterfeit placard is a felony but it does not address altered placards. Mrs. Wilson will follow up with Rudy Garza and will provide the status of H.B. 1473 at next month's meeting. 4. Above -and- Beyond Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities Awards Program Sylvia Wilson reported she received an e-mail from the Texas Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities. She asked if the Committee was interested in acknowledging anyone for the Above - and - Beyond award(s) and if so, to please notify her as soon as possible. The deadline for submitting nominations is June 30, 2011. Abel Alonzo stated the Committee had received information in the past and seemed that no one was motivated to nominate anyone in the past. Mr. Alonzo stated he hoped that someone on the Committee would take the initiative to take the literature and try to move forward in nominating someone for an award. He informed the Committee that Workforce Solutions has tried to improve the opportunities for the disabled community and maybe that organization would be one to nominate. He also recommended the Engineering and Parks and Recreation departments for their continued support for people with disabilities. The Committee will place an item on next month's agenda to form a Governor's sub - committee to work on nominating a department or organization for Above -and- Beyond recognition for the Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities 2011 Employment Awards. Harvey Salinas and Darren Bates both provided input and agreed that the Committee should try to nominate an organization to bring awareness of what the CFPWD does in the Coastal Bend community. Abel also asked Mrs. Wilson to research whether or not City Department Heads are eligible for nomination. Sylvia Wilson asked Committee members to contact her via telephone or e-mail with the names and categories of persons and/or organizations they wish to nominate and she will follow up and will provide more information at next month's meeting. Mr. Alonzo asked Committee members to call Sylvia Wilson if they have any additional questions or concerns. Page 4 of 10 Page I of 1 Sylvia Wilson - Fwd.
