UPDATE FROM DCAB – C. FLEMING/N. OLESEN <br />C. Fleming reported that the Disability and Communication Access Board (DCAB) is <br />co-sponsoring The Tools for Life Expo and Conference on July 9-10, 2004 at the <br />Blaisdell Exhibition Center. The Department of Justice will be at the Friday’s <br />workshop to discuss the revised Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility <br />Guidelines (ADAAG). He shared the flyer of the conference for interested members. <br />B. Whitney raised a concern that several people who have businesses in Hawaii <br />were contacted about Tools for Life who are not non profit agencies but are people <br />with disabilities who have for profit businesses. They are upset that they have to <br />pay more if they are a for profit business. C. Fleming will forward this concern to <br />DCAB. <br />The Office of Elections has work opportunities for people with disabilities who are <br />interested in working as election day officials at the polls. C. Fleming offered to <br />email the flyer to J. Viernes to forward to MCPD members. <br />DCAB has been focusing on people who have disabled parking placards and they <br />are not disabled. In fact, some of them are dead and family members are using the <br />placards. Therefore, DCAB is doing a pilot project and sending out letters to people <br />with disabilities who are deceased to their families. Approximately 207 letters were <br />issued and 34 placards were retrieved. <br />The database modifications, which DCAB is responsible for, have been working well. <br />The counties now have a database for the disabled parking placards which shows <br />who has an assigned placard and who does not have a placard. <br />C. ADA COORDINATOR’S REPORT – T. SPINOLA-CAMPBELL <br />Report attached. <br />B. Whitney referred to Page 2 of Powered Wheelchair as Vehicle or Pedestrian <br />Notes for clarification on electric personal assistive mobility devices; restrictions. <br />3 <br /> <br />
