PUBLIC COMMENTS

Katherine W. Lawson, a resident of the Tuckahoe District, urged the Board of Supervisors to continue appointing individuals from different cultures and with disabilities to serve on the County’s boards and commissions.  Mrs. Lawson also shared information from two workshops conducted at a conference held on April 7 and 8, 2008 and co-sponsored by the Virginia Elder Rights Coalition; the Virginia Guardianship Association; and Virginia Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse Services.  One of these sessions addressed ethical issues relating to pandemic flu and was presented by Dr. Michael Gillette from the University of Virginia.  Mrs. Lawson expressed appreciation for the County’s leadership on this issue and suggested that the County consider using Dr. Gillette as a speaker in its ongoing efforts to inform citizens about the risks of pandemic flu.  A second session highlighted a new initiative enabling parents of young adults with disabilities or Medicaid waivers to form an incorporated entity to facilitate the purchase, operation, and management of multifamily properties where their children can live independently in the community.  The speaker for this session was Dr. William Fuller of the Virginia Housing Development Authority.  Mrs. Lawson commented that affordable housing is the most difficult area to address for people with disabilities.
