Commission highlights accessibility upgrades, outreach tools and summer program planning
Summary
Members reported an accessibility tool added to the town website, donated accessible picnic tables and beach mobility chairs, summer program scheduling and field maintenance, and agreed to coordinate outreach for upcoming community‑center public sessions.
Committee member (speaker 5) told the commission that the town website now includes an accessibility button that lets users change background contrast and font sizes; IT staff members were credited with implementing the feature. Speaker 4 described donated handicap‑accessible picnic tables and arrangements to loan mobility mats and chairs for beach access to residents in need.
Staff reported summer‑program preparations including completed hiring, registration schedules for swim lessons, indoor pickleball bookings at schools and field maintenance at Johnny Kelly Park; restroom facilities at some parks are open for the season. Members encouraged coordinated outreach for public meetings, suggested multiple session times to maximize participation, and asked staff to work with IT to post project materials and the community‑center questionnaire on the town website.
No formal votes were taken on these items; the updates were recorded for follow up by staff.
