Resident urges city to make meeting venue accessible for people with disabilities
Summary
At the June 15 Cottonwood Planning and Zoning meeting resident Karen Marzulo urged the commission to improve accessibility at the meeting facility, saying heavy exterior and restroom doors and no automatic openers make attendance difficult for people with mobility impairments.
During the meeting’s call to the public on June 15, resident Karen Marzulo told the Planning and Zoning Commission the meeting facility is not accessible for people with mobility impairments. She said exterior doors are heavy and there are no automatic openers, and that restroom doors are difficult to open without assistance. Marzulo asked commissioners to place accessibility improvements on a future agenda so the facility can comply with federal accessibility expectations she cited.
The chair thanked her for attending and closed call to the public; the commission did not take immediate action on the request during the meeting but asked for suggestions for future agenda items and reminded members about upcoming mandatory training.
