A. Levin reported that J. Knox (formerly with DCAB, now with Sprint) said she had <br />been able to get a card by going to an Aloha State Association of the Deaf meeting. <br />They did not require verification of hearing loss and did not require verification of <br />ASL skills. J. Knox doubts that the Hawaii Police Department or anyone else would <br />want Sprint verifying individuals who might seek a card fraudulently. In addition, <br />J. Knox was sure that Sprint would not want to get into the audiology business. <br />However, she did see some good cards by one of the relay service <br />mainland. She does intend to copy the idea after the first of the year when she has <br />money in her budget. In the meantime, we are waiting to hear from F. Wai as to <br />whether or not DCAB has any interest in people making recommendations or taking <br />some action. <br />A. Levin stated that he has asked F. Wai for help with respect to training our police <br />department. As part of the training, it may be that our police department would take <br />on the task of issuing some kind of ID card. <br />C.

The initial response from C. Townsend of DCAB was that <br />she was not aware of any such requirement. Therefore, A. Levin based his letter to <br />S. Golden on C. TownsendÓs response. S. Golden responded and cited a regulation <br />that seems to substantiate her position that there has to be an accessible toilet with <br />each array of portable toilets. A. Levin sent her response to DCAB and he is waiting <br />for further response. <br />D. Letter to All Department and Agency Heads and All County Boards <br />Commissions from Mayor H.
