<br /> <br />5. Housing <br /> <br />C. Cholas <br /> brought up his memo to the mayor regarding promoting an <br />amendment to the Building Code about universal home design. It’s ready to go, <br />either approve sending it or disapprove. And then it’s off the table and we don’t <br />really need a committee. We all had a chance to look at it. We’ve had copies <br />distributed the last two or three meetings. Is the committee ready to say yeah or <br />nay on just passing the recommendation on to our Mayor? <br /> <br />R. Schoen <br /> informed him that it has to be agendized as a separate item for the <br />next time. Chris thought it was going to be an agenda item this time. Wes stated <br />that he should have agendized it as a separate item instead of as a committee. <br /> <br />6. Employment Committee <br />James and Jean <br /> <br />7.

Ortaleza <br />wouldn’t have to buy anything. stated that he would be happy to <br />have the Mayor’s Committee be part of that celebration in lieu of having its own <br />celebration. Abled Hawai‘i Artist is on its sixth year is the largest celebration of <br />ADA in the state. This occurs every third Saturday of July, usually around the <br />time when ADA Day is celebrated. <br /> <br />Discussion on Richardson Beach <br /> <br />W. Tanigawa <br /> opened this up for discussion. Janice, James, and Chris all feel <br />accessibility is more important than the building right now. Sam agrees. She <br />says several of her consumers last year participated in Mobi Mat day find it <br />extremely difficult to get there even for the ones with walkers or wheelchairs. <br /> <br />C. Cholas <br /> suggested fixing that section first, from the building to the mobi mats, <br />have an accessible pathway that’s wheelchair accessible and safe before <br />working on the restroom.
