Pursuant to Governor Baker’s March 12, 2020 Order Suspending <br />Certain Provisions of the Open Meeting Law, G.L. c. 30A, §18, and the Governor’s March <br />15, 2020 and subsequent Orders imposing strict limitation on the number of people that may <br />gather in one place, this meeting of the Lexington Commission on Disability will be <br />conducted via remote participation to the greatest extent possible. Specific information and <br />the general guidelines for remote participation by members of the public and/or parties with a <br />right and/or requirement to attend this meeting can be found below. No in-person attendance <br />of members of the public will be permitted, but every effort will be made to ensure that the <br />public can adequately access the proceedings in real time, via technological means. (*As per <br />Executive Order regarding remote participation: https://www.mass.gov/doc/open- <br />meetinglaw-order-march-12-2020/download) Please be advised that the House and Senate <br />enacted Senate Bill 2475 last night and Governor Baker signed the bill, which will allow the <br />continuation of remote public meetings until April 20, 2022. <br />The reading was followed by an oral roll call. <br /> <br />Willards Woods liaison: <br />A brief discussion was held about having someone from the Commission volunteer to <br />be a liaison to join a group concerning Willards Woods during the design phase of the <br />universally accessible trail and parking. Len volunteered. <br /> <br />Forming a Collaborative Reform Workgroup: <br /> An open discussion was held about forming a Collaborative Reform Workgroup to <br />focus on interactions between the police and residents with disabilities – to look at what other <br />towns are doing with police reform, to formulate a comprehensive plan that looks at training <br />models, makes recommendations for reform and provides opportunities for community <br />conversations – discussion to include who we will invite, how we make sure funding is <br />available, support for those traumatized, etc. Questions were raised about what training is <br />available for police – like MHFA (mental health first aid) and CIT training. <br />It was decided that the goal should be collaboration, without simply focusing on the <br />police, but rather broadening the approach to review all policy and response systems dealing <br />with residents with disabilities. A holistic approach is needed with transparency. <br />There was work done previously by the MH task force. It is important to have post <br />incident protocols. The idea is to reimagine public safety. Victoria and Martha will meet with
