Paulselli said Jeff Dugan has agreed to provide the training and that it will be offered virtually at no cost; participants can earn continuing education credits.

Paulselii (sic) — corrected in this report to Dennis Paulselli — described the course schedule as spread over nonconsecutive weeks rather than the consecutive full days used in the past, and he encouraged city departments to participate because the training is free.

On the topic of ADA improvement grants, Paulselli said there is “no truth to the fact that you have to wait a year” to submit another application. He explained applicants may apply the next year either to finish a previously started project that did not receive funding or for a different project, and that not having applied in the year does not preclude resubmission the following year. Paulselli cited information he received from the Massachusetts Office on Disability indicating the city did not submit any improvement grants for the current round.

The chair said he will provide more details about the 2026 CAM training as arrangements are finalized and will notify city departments about the opportunity.

Separately, Paulselli noted local Channel 95 (Fall River Community Media) maintains accessible candidate information for the municipal election; he encouraged residents to use the station’s website for biographies and candidate videos.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","9.17.2025 Fall River Commission on Disability","oneSentenceSummary","Chair Dennis Paulselli announced the commission will host a CAM training in 2026 (virtual and free) and reminded residents that ADA improvement grant applications do not require waiting additional years to reapply.","taxTitle","Fall River City, Bristol County, Massachusetts","taxId",4215,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5979590,"Fall River disability commission allocates $8,000 for 2026 scholarship event expenses",102,418000,520000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5810240-ff9b0320bf0e7f3c952e16b90bc956b1&start=418&end=520","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5810240-ff9b0320bf0e7f3c952e16b90bc956b1/thumbnail_418000.jpg","/articles/5979590/Fall-River-City/Bristol-County/Massachusetts/Fall-River-disability-commission-allocates-8000-for-2026-scholarship-event-expenses","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979590-e45d97687d9ddd1b492067f51d9cd7a1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135250&Signature=VxIdoZxDRz66rlEPjZlVX9e2c1MYxrw2kcIytkHX1iBXctRY7tOPkdTmCqls3sJkSGGqZ23YNVEPfW9G9xoP306esSZ38jB2pAuqjrQJ1QsdPvogWMci2ywf13nwI2dxXdh7JRIkNZMWG74uk8k7R5LTe1gG8gvGbST7hSkKG0-BOXAvROPVZBpoWBQgGkof5sujTuHNX9l11qG9nkjNJ0q18Brqnntr7-TdUsyrzamUIIPcYUTOC-BA~0iakaJ3f3ZZ8gDGBHImPwskME7QtUQZa638FSBl82YuMsXvJJ4Uj5qL-fh5lYnZAfrBC3yPNDLT7s7L0pcj4d-2bSvBeg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fall River Commission on Disability voted unanimously Sept. 17 to allocate $8,000 to cover event expenses for its 2026 scholarship program, with scholarship awards to be allocated separately at a later date.

Commissioner Dan Robillard moved the allocation and Commissioner Anne O'Neil Souza seconded. In the motion Robillard specified the $8,000 was for “all items” associated with the scholarship event except the scholarship awards themselves, which will be handled in a future, separate allocation and on a weighted schedule.

Commissioners completed a roll-call vote; Dennis Paulselli, Lisa Silva, Dan Robillard, Anne O'Neil Souza and Katie Driscoll voted yes. The commission’s budget report for September had previously been distributed to members, and the allocation will be recorded in the commission’s fiscal files.

At the meeting staff noted one current scholarship recipient will transfer to another institution in January; the commission said it will confirm the receiving institution and ensure the scholarship is applied in the same fiscal year. The recipient’s destination institution was not specified on the record.

This vote covers only administrative event expenses and does not award or change any scholarship amounts.","The commission voted unanimously to allocate $8,000 to cover non-scholarship expenses for a 2026 scholarship event, deferring the actual scholarship awards for a separate allocation.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5979595,"Fall River Commission on Disability reelects leadership for 2025–26",221,183000,404000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5810240-ff9b0320bf0e7f3c952e16b90bc956b1&start=183&end=404","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5810240-ff9b0320bf0e7f3c952e16b90bc956b1/thumbnail_183000.jpg","/articles/5979595/Fall-River-City/Bristol-County/Massachusetts/Fall-River-Commission-on-Disability-reelects-leadership-for-202526","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5979595-029fc1f2626864941cba76ff61a81416/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135250&Signature=eLdMhueroHy2Uy7bkpzQiUSS4Vj~SpjLPQ-Cb7cbLpqMHc8vZmr36PukIYgBghArRDRXK5TbnASdXMDv9DLhWO0ixovt3w4QC~ymPpTSTv~dRyoTnHEPBBu6-QpiWqrJshPPiGQmUyeXW~4D4U6KuBHZbPvnYANFEyCdN~TnhjQOrpl5iSrEVE9MRElGCp8bTlCBIOf-Z13PL5QB-amj8w6I4mz0B0AcsdJt0vDROyj~BexmAFmkOyfaYKUPC8ylKttfeR27wtz0d2EXyBcyNxJj2cr9q0Kv4Qero3vtXXkzU7fg979U7SNLygk0N455jzWKvb5wMKYW36siUkN0gA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fall River Commission on Disability unanimously reelected Dennis Paulselli as chair and chose Deborah Pacheco as vice chair and Lisa Silva as clerk at its Sept. 17 meeting. Commissioners also approved meeting minutes and returned the agenda to regular order before taking up updates.

The nominations and votes were held early in the session after commissioners agreed to take the agenda out of order to accommodate a commissioner with a timing conflict. Anne O'Neil Souza moved to reappoint Dennis Paulselli as chair; Commissioner Lisa Silva seconded the motion. The roll-call vote recorded unanimous support from Paulselli, Silva, Dan Robillard, Anne O'Neil Souza and Katie (Kay) Driscoll.

O'Neil Souza also moved to elect Deborah Pacheco as vice chair; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with unanimous support. The commission then nominated and approved Lisa Silva as clerk (referred to on the record as the commission's clerk/secretary). The body completed the remaining formalities, including approval of the Aug. 13, 2025, minutes by roll-call vote.

Actions taken were procedural officer elections and minute approval; no policy changes or new programs were adopted in connection with the votes. The commission will carry the same slate of officers for the 2025–26 term.

The commission convened the votes at the start of the meeting to accommodate scheduling and moved remaining business, including public input, later in the agenda.","The Fall River Commission on Disability unanimously reelected Dennis Paulselli as chair and named Deborah Pacheco vice chair and Lisa Silva clerk during its Sept. 17 meeting.","actionData","errors"]
