Public meeting on ADA compliance for Healdsburg parks and town, Nov. 8
On Wednesday, Nov. 8, the Healdsburg Parks and Recreation Commission and Senior Citizens Advisory Commission will meet jointly in a work session format to receive a presentation evaluating Healdsburg’s Community Services/Parks and Recreation Facilities for accessibility required under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The primary work up to this point has been to evaluate physical barriers to participation in programs and services (e.g. handicapped parking, pathway and sidewalk construction, restrooms, etc.). Future work will review readiness to serve people with disabilities from a program and service perspective. The work session begins at 6 p.m. at Healdsburg City Hall, 401 Grove Street. The work session agenda, staff report and draft accessibility evaluation report is available on the city’s web site at www.cityofhealdsburg.org.
