19 City Board, Commission & Committee Annual Report to City Council
Committee for Persons with Disabilities
1. State of the goals and objectives for the 2020 calendar year. The goal for 2020 was to meet the needs of persons with disabilities (PWD) by furthering opportunities for persons of all abilities to enjoy a life of independence, productivity, and self-determination.
Our objectives for 2020 were to attend community events, assess community needs, and advocate for
improvements in coordination with the Mayor and City Council.
2. Description of the action taken in furtherance of the goals and objectives during the 2020 calendar year.
The committee attended two community events in 2020. This was a drastic decrease from prior years due to the impact of COVID-19. The committee solicited presentations and information from community service providers and organizations to understand and assist concerns of PWD’s.
3. Did the Board make recommendation to Council? If so, what did they recommend?
In conjunction with the Resolution in Support of a Waiver for Accessibility Ramp Building Permits for
Private Residential Homes of a Person with Disabilities, the committee made recommendations to
decrease the barriers for PWD to obtain safe accessible homes.
4. What are the goals and objectives for the 2021 calendar year?
2021 Goal: Meet needs of PWDs by furthering opportunities for persons of all abilities to enjoy a life of
independence, productivity, and self-determination, and the impacts of a pandemic on PWD within our
community. 2021 Objectives: Attend community events, assess community needs, coordinate pandemic
relief, and advocate for improvements in coordination with the Mayor and City Council.
20
5. How many times did the board meet or failed to meet? The CFPWD did not meet 4 times during 2020. During the first six months, the committee failed to meet
twice due to a lack of quorum. This was largely due to unfilled board vacancies and longstanding inactive
members who were being removed from the committee. During the final six months of the year, the
committee failed to meet two more times due to turnover in the city’s HR department.
6. How many vacancies did the board have and for how long?
The committee had one inactive member for 6 months and that position was not filled for the remainder
of 2020. The result was a yearlong vacancy for one position. The committee had a second vacancy for 5
months of the year due to a member that reached a term limit. In both situations, the committee could
not fill the two vacancies due to turnover in the HR department.
