Summary
In a brief hybrid session the committee voted to admit a remote member for voting on this meeting’s business, approved prior meeting minutes, and adopted its 2026 meeting dates (moving the April meeting from April 6 to April 13); the meeting adjourned at 1:11 p.m.
The Chicago Transit Authority Accessibility Advisory Committee took four formal actions in a short July session: it admitted a remote participant for voting at this meeting, approved minutes from the July 14 meeting, approved the 2026 meeting calendar (with April moved from April 6 to April 13), and adjourned.
A motion to admit Sarah Luna for voting purposes while she remained virtual carried by voice vote after a member moved and another seconded; the transcript does not clearly identify the mover and seconder for that motion. The committee then approved the minutes from July 14 after a motion attributed in the transcript to Barbara Padilla and a second from Sandra Fernandez. The body approved the 2026 meeting dates — Jan. 12, April 13, July 13 and Oct. 5 — after a motion by Sandra Fernandez and a second from Giselle Nunez; members agreed to move the April meeting to April 13 to avoid the Easter holiday.
Members also discussed upcoming two‑year term renewals for several members, noting that renewed members will be expected to attend most meetings in person (the committee indicated three meetings per year should be on site with an allowance for one hybrid day). A motion to adjourn passed and the meeting ended at 1:11 p.m.
Vote tallies were taken by voice and recorded as 'ayes' in the transcript; no roll‑call counts or abstentions were recorded in the transcript for these items.
