The City of Sarasota's Citizens with Disabilities Advisory Board held a meeting on September 8, 2025, where members discussed the financial report and upcoming projects. The financial outlook appears positive, with the fund balance increasing from $37,071.48 to $38,575.17 over the past month, despite expenses for captioning services.

Board members noted that the increase in funds is primarily due to receiving higher-than-expected fine funds. However, there are concerns about potential misuse of ADA parking spaces, prompting a need for communication with the Parks and Recreation Department to ensure compliance.

The meeting also highlighted the need for upcoming projects to utilize the available funds effectively. Members expressed satisfaction with the current financial management, noting that captioning expenses were lower than projected, which could lead to further budgetary benefits.

Looking ahead, the board anticipates a lengthy meeting in November, as one member will be absent due to travel. The Vice President will lead the meeting in their absence. The session concluded with a motion to adjourn, which passed unanimously.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to financial oversight and proactive planning for the benefit of citizens with disabilities in Sarasota.
