Planning De artment Accessibft Rg ort: Tom Fudala and Marilyn Farren worked on this Report, `Seven-Year Action Plan' (pp 9-1 through 9-14.) Tom distributed a copy to each Board member. The draft form was reviewed, and is there anything to add? Bob suggested they add in Town facilities and areas that have access and those needing to be corrected and made accessible with target dates. Also, include the beaches at ponds and parks that need accessible equipment. The final copy will be sent to the State. Self-evaluation is required every five years. This serves as a Plan and recommendation to the Town,which is Town endorsed. We can follow up with DPW to add improvements. It was noted there are no paved spaces at the conservation areas, such as Camp VinHaven, Pickeral Cove, and Great Neck Road South needs to have a trail made down to the Mashpee River. Perhaps, we can use compacted sand. Charlie noted that paths in governmental facilities are required to be accessible under Title 2 after 1992. Maria asked if the school had to put together an action plan to be in compliance with Title 2 after 1992. Charlie said yes. Preservation money was used to purchase Camp Vin Haven, and it is now a conservation area. DPW performs the work under the authorization of Cons Com. Leisure Services gets involved with urban self help grants. Bob will talk with Gus Frederick about this. Also, Bob will find out who is on the Leisure Service Council, and try to review equipment, such as the beach wheelchair. Would beach access be eligible under park funding? We need to check with Gus (LS) and Catherine(DPW) on deadlines. Reimbursement comes after the project is completed, and the Town pays half the expense.
