CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2019-03-13 | 20 | ITEM 3-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, March 13, 2019, 6:30 PM here on Park Boulevard, if we get certain amount of parking spaces in the parking garage to be for disabled, more than they normally have, I think the word ought to be disseminated and put in there also that the Disability Commission has suggested this or has made it happen or whatever it is, because we need to let people know that there is a group that is working on these kinds of things. And that's going to be the way that people are more aware of the fact that there are a number of people that meet every couple of months that are talking about disabilities. Jennifer Roloff: I think that's a good idea. It makes me even think like could we block off an extra block of one of the streets just for disabled parking, so we add parking to the total picture and let it be for disabled parking. Arnold Brillinger: Because we have done that in the city garage in past years, where we just asked for some extra disabled spaces and they made sure that they were on flat ground, not on an angle and so forth. There are all kinds of things to look at and I think that these things if they are disseminated among the people, that it will help for us to be more widely known. Jennifer Roloff: And we can keep pushing stuff to Sarah and I think if we get the traction then, we could possibly spin off our own but we could start with really getting that information to her. Jenn Barrett: That'd be great. Arnold Brillinger: But even as Anto was saying in the newspaper, get these things out to them also, into the Sun. Some people read that from cover to cover. Jennifer Roloff: Who was it that got the announcement for our meeting, one of our meetings into the Sun? Was it Laurie that did that? One of our commission meetings was put in. Jenn Barrett: I'm guessing it was Laurie. Jennifer Roloff: We can follow up with her. And then also, what government body of the city handles the Park Street Fair or the Webster Street or all the fairs? Arnold Brillinger: The business associations. Liz Acord: Commissioner Brillinger is correct. The business associations or the business improvement areas apply for a special event permit with the city to host those fairs and then various city departments, if not all city departments, do support that effort. So police from traffic control, public works from public right-of-way, community and economic development, etcetera do support that effort. Jennifer Roloff: Okay. So, Commissioner Barrett, are you liaison for the ABA and GABA and all the business community. Jenn Barrett: I don't believe we have one but since I'm going to be reaching out to them anyways. 03/13/19 Page 20 of 28 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2019-03-13.pdf |
