Aughe <br /> was open to ideas the committee should take on. <br />suggested visiting different county departments to see if there are any issues <br />with accessibility, physical or otherwise, and communication. <br /> <br />B. Brilhante <br /> stated that he was sitting in for Renee Schoen, from the Office of <br />the Corporation Counsel. He reminded members about the Sunshine Law <br />requirements. He suggested that since the topic, Discussions for Future <br />propose <br />Activities is so broad, the members can what areas they’d like the <br />committee to look into, but not the actual subject matter because it was not more <br />specifically agendized. If a meeting at a specific location (site visits) was set, <br />then that location has to be open to the public and accessible as well. <br />Mr. Brilhante requested that before a location was decided upon, someone from <br />the committee should speak with the actual department head to see if that’s <br />something that they can accommodate. <br /> <br />P. Aughe <br /> inquired if the members were allowed as an individual to go into a <br />B. Brilhante <br />department and come back with issues or suggestions. stated it <br />was okay but to make sure that the area of discussion is agendized. (You went <br />in as a member of the public and there are some concerns or issues you have <br />with accessibility, you can always come back and report it.) If there is a concern <br />and you want it to be resolved, a lot of times Teri is real effective in that. Pauline <br />stated that as a committee, it’s important as an entity that advises the mayor, that <br />he should be aware of it rather than just go to Teri. <br /> <br />Agenda item: Site visits to different County offices, facilities, parks and beaches <br />. <br />regarding accessibility for the public Will check with the departments first to see <br />C. Cholas <br />if they are able to accommodate the request. felt it would be more <br />helpful to have an ad hoc committee for accessibility issues go to the department <br />to do an investigation rather than have the whole committee go someplace. <br /> <br />Pauline wanted to know if we can propose to make an ad hoc now. B. Brilhante <br />stated that you can propose, but discussion of that would have to be at the next <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />
