Disability Awareness Month (Vice Chair Moore): Vice-Chair Moore stated that John McDonald, AR&PD, has confirmed that the Commission may designate one of the redwood trees already planted at Lincoln Park as part of the tree planting ceremony for Disability Awareness Month, as well as place a placard at the bottom of the tree. Mr. McDonald also confirmed that the Commission has the permission do this on a yearly basis. Chair Lord-Hausman requested that Vice-Chair Moore receive written confirmation concerning the placard, S the City just passed a new ordinance banning decals and placards on public property.

Vice-Chair Moore proposed Saturday, October 6, 2007. Commissioner Berger expressed concern over City staffing time for a weekend event. Vice-Chair Moore responded that she would follow up with Mr. McDonald regarding City staffing. The Commission agreed to have the ceremony on Saturday, October 6, 2007. Chair Lord-Hausman confirmed that she would check with the Mayor's calendar so that the event may be timed when she is present. The Chair also encouraged the Commissioners to inform and invite people to the ceremony.
