CITY OF SHAKOPEE
MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
From: Mark Themig
Meeting Date: September 21,2004
Subject: Creation of Accessibility Task Force
INTRODUCTION
City Council is asked to consider creating a citizen task force on accessibility.
BACKGROUND
City Council received the accessibility study and transition plan earlier this summer. As
part of that presentation, we discussed the desire to create a citizen group to help
establish priorities for the plan. Since the presentation, I have received several contacts
from individuals who are interested in volunteering.
lam recommending that City Council establish a citizen task force. The task force would
meet on a monthly basis to review the accessibility study .and develop recommendations
for implementing the transition plan, as well as ensuring that the city and its services are
accessible. I would estimate that this work will take 6-12 months.
If you chose to move ahead, we would publicize this opportunity over the next two weeks
and return with a resolution creating the task force at your next meeting.
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to direct staff to advertise for participation on a citizen accessibility task force, and
prepare a resolution establishing the task force.
