<br /> <br />Report of the County of Hawai‘i, Equal Opportunity Officer, ADA <br />Coordinator Teri Spinola-Campbell <br /> <br />T. Spinola-CampbellJoseph Kamelamela <br /> and , Deputy Corporation Counsel, <br />had a conference call with Judge Kurren on July 13, 2012. A revised Transition <br />Plan identified 204 curb ramps to be installed in Hilo, Waikoloa and Kona, which <br />the County completed. Regarding an update on Richardson’s, Parks and <br />Recreation said the administration is currently looking at providing additional <br />funding to proceed with this project. It requires a supplement to the design that’s <br />already been done, to address the issues relating to burials at this site and the <br />historic status of this site. <br /> <br />C. Cholas <br /> stated that Pahoa wasn’t on that list but a group of clients of the ARC <br />of Pahoa identified several curbs in Pahoa town that they couldn’t access <br />because they have wheelchair balance issues. Together with their Council <br />representative, Fred Blas, they put in some curb ramp requests, and most of <br />them are done. To get a group of people that have a disability meet with their <br />council representative and get things done, that’s self-advocacy in action. <br /> <br />Teri added that the curb ramp request program procedure is on the Department <br />of Public Works’ website under Engineering. Anyone can request to have a curb <br />ramp. <br /> <br />Report of the County of Hawai‘i, ADA Recreational Specialist, <br />Alisa Mitchener <br /> No report - Alisa has been absent per Teri. <br /> <br />A.
