</SPAN>Kirk Wagner called the virtual chapter meeting to order at 10:30 AM.
Attending the meeting were Kirk & Cherri Wagner, Ryan McBee, Jerry Hathaway,
Joyce Green, Carolyn Brock, Mary Ann & Jack Mendez, & Jerry Garafolo. We
had a guest speaker who is Lisa Strader from the City of Portland Bureau of
Transportation ADA Coordinator. Lisa Strader gave us a presentation about the
City of Portland public right of way transition plan. She told us one of her
responsibilities is to create relationships with different organization groups
that will be affected by the plan. She told us after the plan comes out there
will be six virtual open houses so the public can give their views and concerns
dealing with the transition plan. Lisa answer questions from chapter members
about the plan and said that she will give Kirk the link for the website that
the plan will be posted and she will also send information about the public open
houses that will be virtual and how to access the open house meetings. Carolyn
Brock made a motion to have the minutes approved as they were distributed and
Joyce Green seconded the motion and the motion was passed by members attending
the meeting. Kirk told us that Jack Mendez has paid his dues and is now a member
of the chapter. Joyce Green gave the Treasurer’s report with a beginning balance
of $1,126.44 and the ending balance is $1,114.44. Joyce told us that somebody
accessed our account and made a payment of $124.80 from our account. Kirk and
Joyce has talked to the bank and the bank has credited our account with the
$124.80 that was taken out until the fraud process has completed which will take
about 3 months. Jerry Hathaway made a motion to have the Treasurer’s report
approved as read with Mary Ann Mendez seconding the motion and the motion was
passed by the members attending the meeting. Kirk suggested that we mail our
dues for 2021 to Joyce Green. Kirk played the Presidential release #496 dated
July 30, 2020. Joyce told us about two Braille Monitor articles that she read
from the April Braille Monitor that she liked very much and that we should read
them and discussed them at our September meeting. The two articles that Joyce
have suggested to be read for our September meeting are </FONT><SPAN
