Disability Committee Outreach and Advocacy Subcommittee Report (26-0705)

Context: The subcommittee report was listed 'To Be Introduced' on 2026-05-06 and discussed on 2026-06-03 with Wilson Goodrich and Aliza Huerta, but the minutes record a 0-0 result, discussion only, no motion or vote taken.

Recommended: Request the written report from the Outreach, Advocacy and Advisory Subcommittee and any purchase order or budget line for the brochures Aliza Huerta asked to be distributed to the Coastal Bend Center for Independent Living and homeless shelters. The item has surfaced at two consecutive meetings with no motion, so ask staff whether printing and distribution were ever authorized or funded, or whether this remains an unbacked verbal request.

Context: On 2026-06-03 Aliza Huerta asked for brochures at the Coastal Bend Center for Independent Living and homeless shelters and Wilson Goodrich discussed reaching out to special populations, but the item was discussion only with a 0-0 record and no motion.

Recommended: If you or your clients use the Coastal Bend Center for Independent Living or a local homeless shelter, ask the Committee for Persons with Disabilities at its next meeting to name a date and a list of drop-off sites for the public-comment brochures. Nothing was adopted at either appearance, so unless someone presses for a timeline the outreach materials that would tell shelter and independent-living residents they can speak may never be printed.
