Frederick County disabilities commission proposes three strategic goals, schedules June vote
Summary
At its May 11 meeting the Frederick County Commission on Disabilities introduced three draft strategic goals covering outreach, advocacy and employment, and requested a vote on adopting the goals at the June meeting.
At the May 11 meeting of the Frederick County Commission on Disabilities, commission member Robert Gunter introduced three draft strategic goals and asked members to vote on adopting them at the commission27s June meeting. The goals are aimed at expanding outreach, elevating disability perspectives in public policy, and promoting employment for people with disabilities.
The proposed goals are: (1) Community outreach, awareness and self-advocacy, including publication and dissemination of information about legal rights, services and accommodations; (2) Advocacy and public policy engagement to "amplify disability perspectives" in local initiatives and foster collaboration with government agencies, community organizations and businesses; and (3) Employment and business engagement to encourage inclusive hiring, support workforce development and create career pathways for people with disabilities across Frederick County. Commission member Robert Gunter introduced the goals and requested a formal adoption vote at the June meeting.
The minutes note the Office of the County Attorney will prepare a draft of updated Commission bylaws using a new recommended template; the bylaws drafting and any substantive edits will be reviewed by the Commission before being forwarded to the County Executive27s Office for approval. The bylaws update and the proposed strategic goals are separate items but both relate to the Commission27s governance and priorities.
The commission also approved routine business at the start of the meeting, including the agenda (with the addition of goals to Old Business) and the April 13, 2026 minutes with technical corrections. No formal vote tallies for the goals-adoption motion were recorded in the minutes; the minutes record only that a vote is to take place at the June meeting. The next regular meeting is scheduled for June 8, 2026 at 6:00 p.m.
The minutes include contact information for County staff liaison Sean Lore for questions about agenda or procedures.
