OLD BUSINESS UPDATE OF BARBER STREET SPORTS COMPLEX: The committee has asked the city to install cement walkways at the sports complex to make it easily accessible for the handicapped. A map of the complex was presented and the layout of the proposed walkway was explained. Completion of this project is a priority for the committee and, hopefully, it will be completed in the near future. Discussion followed regarding .plans and a time table for completion. HANDICAPPED SELF-EVALUATION COMMITTEE MEETING MAY 10, 1995 PAGE 2 Wendy and John reviewed the walkways at Riverview Park and decided there is a need for improvements to make them wider in certain areas so two wheelchairs would be able to pass each other. It should not cost much to make these improvements. There are also some improvements needed at the Yacht Club Pier along the main walk and seawall where there is a separation which is potentially dangerous. New lights are going to be installed on the pier and various ideas on types and size were suggested. UPDATE OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE - ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING BOARD: This Ordinance has not been updated due to our Attorney's time frame but will be brought up again and made a priority and hopefully we will have information on this soon. 5. NEW BUSINESS Letters were received from Richard Votapka, Public Works Director and John Malek, Chairman, 4th of July Committee, regarding needed handicapped parking spaces for the July 4th events. It was suggested that Harrison Street be the designated area for this parking and discussion followed on how many spaces are needed, how to properly mark them as handicapped and how to control the parking. A designated "drop off zone" was also suggested as a way to handle parking. Mr. Kanfoush suggested a 4th of July committee member be designated to enforce parking. Discussion followed with the consensus being to request all vertical parking spots on Harrison Street be designated Handicapped parking spots. Harry DiSalvio mentioned a program that Ford Motor Company has that reimburses a customer up to $750.00 if handicapped equipment is installed in a new vehicle. They also issue a cellular phone to the customer. 6.
