Bedford commission proposes renaming to 'Commission on Disability' and will request town approval
Summary
Chair Sarah Blackman proposed renaming the Town of Bedford Disability Commission to the 'Commission on Disability'; Special Assistant Joseph Russo asked Blackman to email Town Manager Matt Hanson and Russo to request the change. No formal motion or vote was recorded at the meeting.
At the Jan. 13 meeting, Sarah Blackman proposed changing the commission’s name from the Bedford Disability Commission to “Commission on Disability.” Howard Sumner asked whether the body should make a formal motion and vote.
Joseph Russo, identified in the meeting as Special Assistant to the Town Manager, asked Blackman to email Town Manager Matt Hanson and Russo himself to request the name change, indicating the next procedural step rather than a vote taken at the meeting. The commission did not record a formal motion or outcome on the name change at that session.
Commissioners agreed that Blackman would send the requested email; any subsequent formal action would follow through the town manager’s office and be reported back to the commission at a future meeting.
