Lynn Disability Commission regains quorum, approves April minutes

Other Committee · Meeting of May 5, 2026

Lynn Disability Commission opens without quorum, then regains it and approves minutes. Chairperson and staff said City Attorney LaManna advised the May 5 agenda would be "informational only" until a fifth of nine members joined; Commissioner Louise Dominic's arrival restored quorum, letting the board approve its April 14 special meeting minutes unanimously. New commissioner Jeff LaFada Hernandez, founder of the nonprofit "Empowering People for Inclusive Communities," was introduced alongside longtime members Christopher Gaynor and Tracy Lindsey.

A resident named Bob raised an unresolved complaint about a granite curb blocking wheelchair access near Monroe Street, which DPW associate Lisa Narek's office has addressed with a submitted work order. Commissioners floated $78 in frisbees and $250 in pens for July's Disability Pride Month outreach, with a funding vote expected June 2. The meeting adjourned at 5:42 p.m.
