B. UPDATE FROM DCAB ‚ C. FLEMING/N. OLESEN/C. TOWNSEND <br />The July and August report from C. Townsend, Program and Policy Unit Coordinator <br />of DCAB, was distributed to MCPD members. <br />C. ADA COORDINATORS REPORT ‚ T. SPINOLA-CAMPBELL <br />T. Spinola-Campbell provided her report as the ADA Coordinator for June 2007. <br />A. Mitchener read her report to MCPD members since she was not present. <br />D. PARKS AND RECREATION REPORT ‚ A. MITCHENER <br />A. Mitchener provided a report on the Recreation Division. The report is attached. <br />A. Mitchener suggested that MCPD send a recommendation to the Mayor in <br />developing interesting programs for young adults such as inclusive programs or <br />events. The Department of Parks and Recreation would also like funding for <br />adaptive equipment (beach wheelchairs, beach mats) and a therapeutic unit that can <br />respond to and create more programs. There have been ten requests for access to <br />the water via mats and beach wheelchairs. However, a structure needs to be in <br />place for loaning out the beach wheelchairs. The beach wheelchairs are also limited <br />in what they can and cannot do. Sometimes certain products are dangerous in the <br />water because they are only meant to go on the beach sand and rocks. But, when <br />youhitthewaterwiththesegiantballoontires,yourekindoffloatinganditlookslike <br />a giant floating tricycle coming at you. <br />L. Scadden said that he will mention these concerns in the letter that he will be <br />drafting to the Mayor. <br />A. Mitchener suggested that leftover funds from MCPD at the end of the fiscal year <br />be targeted for purchasing adaptive equipment such as the beach wheelchair or <br />mats that can be used by the community. <br />The meeting was recessed at 11:25 a.m. The meeting was reconvened at 11:30 a.m. <br />E. HAWAIIS MOST WANTED PROGRAM ‚ J. SOUZA <br />J. Souza reported he complained at the May meeting that there was no closed- <br />captioning for the Hawaiis Most Wanted program. He and T. Spinola-Campbell <br />spoke to the Police Chief and they started the closed-captioning two weeks ago. <br />Several deaf people told him that they have seen it and they are satisfied. <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />A.
