SERGEANT EUGENE EWERT OF SEBASTIAN POLICE DEPARTMENT - GUEST SPEAKER Sergeant Eugene Ewert made a presentation in regards to illegal parking in handicapped parking spaces and presented the rules and regulations in issuing citations and enforcing them. There are two types of traffic law - Criminal and Non- Criminal. He gave an example of both types and how they are enforced. Signs denoting "Handicapped Parking" must meet certain criteria (such as size, height, etc.) before they are considered legal. How the law is enforced is determined by what is written in Florida Statutes 316. A discussion followed on various situations regarding parking, signs, stickers, symbols, etc. and notifying local businesses regarding compliance. Handicapped Self-Evaluation Committee Meeting Minutes - July 29, 1993 Page 2 4. COMMITTEE MEMBER ISSUES ST.LUCIE WASTE - Picking up trash for the handicapped. Tabled from last meeting so Edra Young, who brought up the subject, could be here to give her input, she was not present so the subject was put out for discussion. St. Luoie Waste was called and informed us they would go up to the house (instead of curbside) if the resident provided them with a written statement from their doctor stating they were not able to to bring their trash to the curb. This seems like a reasonable request and will be discussed further when Edra Young is present so the committee can hear her argument. There was a brief discussion determining what is considered a trash facility. 5. OLD BUSINESS A. Status of Proposed Grievance Procedure - City Council has approved the Grievance Procedure that was reviewed at our last meeting. B. Review Self Evaluations Done To Date - Evaluations on city owned property are about half done and should be completed by October 1st. Evaluations on city owned property should be completed before we start with the private sector. It was suggested that we include the Chamber of commerce when we are ready to get the private sector involved in complying with ADA regulations. Mr. Kanfoush volunteered to represent the committee and speak to the Chamber regarding private sector compliance. Discussion followed. 6. NEW BUSINESS A. I.D. Badges - Will be provided to members of the Handicapped Committee by the Police Department if desired. B. Nomination of First Alternate Member to city Council - Mr. Phillip Foster has been appointed as First Alternate to a three year term on the Handicapped Self-Evaluation Committee with term to expire 8/1/96.
