Eagle Pass resident asks council to create accessibility advisory council for events
Summary
Daniel Regalado, a navigator with South Texas Advocacy Center, urged the City of Eagle Pass to establish an advisory council to make public events more accessible for people with disabilities.
During the citizens communications portion of the City Council meeting on March 4, 2025, Daniel Regalado, who identified himself as a navigator with STAC (South Texas Advocacy Center), urged the city to create an "Events for Everyone" advisory council to improve accessibility at local events and public buildings.
Regalado described the project as "aim[s] to make the community here in Eagle Pass more accessible and inclusive for individuals with disabilities," and asked council to help establish an advisory council and resource guide for event planners. He gave examples of accommodations he wants the city to encourage, such as ramps, sensory-friendly spaces, and clear communications, and said he would pursue training and advocacy to raise awareness.
The mayor said the city would accept petitions and take the request seriously. Council members and staff offered to take copies of the materials and receive contact details for follow-up.
Ending: Staff indicated they will consider Mr. Regalado’s petition and follow up; no formal action was taken during the meeting, and the request will be routed to the appropriate department for consideration.
