Resident urges city to create part‑time positions for people with disabilities
Summary
A resident, Eric Hyde, used the public comment period to urge the city to consider facilitating part‑time service work opportunities for residents with disabilities so they do not have to rely solely on third‑party providers.
Eric Hyde, a resident who identified himself during public comment, told the meeting he attended to hear the ADA presentation and also asked whether the city could create or facilitate part‑time city positions for people with disabilities. "I'd rather go through the city," he said, describing prior contacts with local service providers and his ongoing job search.
Hyde said many disabled residents lack accessible part‑time work opportunities and suggested a city program could be more fulfilling than routing work through third‑party agencies. He told staff he would welcome the opportunity to comment on specific corridor projects later in the agenda and thanked the group for hearing him.
