4. OLD BUSINESS
A. Status of Letter Sent To St. Lucie Waste
Wendy has tried to contact St. Lucie Waste and can't seem to
reach the person in authority. Discussion followed with the
final consensus being that St. Lucie Waste will have to deal
with the issue of trash handling for the handicapped who are
not able to bring their trash to the curb, sooner or later,
and will need to establish a specific format to determine who
is truly needy of this service.
B. Wendy asked if the committee would be interested in helping
her review handicapped accessibility to city owned parks by
having a walk through during the next meeting. Members
thought this was a good idea and decided they would tour
Hardee Park, Barber street Sports Complex and Schumann Park.
C. It was suggested that the committee invite George Schum to
attend our meetings.
D. The committee also wanted to thank Dan Eckis, Public Works
Director for a job well done on the entrance ramp to City
Hall.
5. NEW BUSINESS
Guest speaker, Carmen Carroll, Lifeline Program Coordinator
at indian River Memorial Hospital, made a presentation on the
Lifeline System. Pamphlets were distributed with questions and
answers on capabilities, costs, etc. discussed. The committee
found the Lifeline System to be a reasonable, adequate and
worthwhile system.
Ms. Carroll mentioned that Ed' Trent, Community Relations
Director of Indian River Memorial Hospital would be happy to
speak at one of our meetings if we were interested.
