Meeting Adjourned at 6PM Approved December 13, 2004 Bill Ingui, Chairman PP Sw I move the following to make available the playground equipment for children with disabilities and children with special needs. This is an oversight we must correct by this Board for these children. They must have the fun other kids have= using a playground with equipment designed for their individual needs in a Sebastian City park ALSO I also move the children with disabilities and children with special needs have this playground located behind the new Sebastian City Hall in the new park area. Parking availability near the playground site will be a plus. I suggest that this Board with the Sebastian City Council put out a call for parents or guardians to help with choosing the best possible equipment that will meet the needs of our kids with disabilities and special needs.
