Residents urge improved park access and student outreach during public comment
Summary
A resident asked the city to install an accessible path to the gazebo to enable participation by people using canes, walkers, or wheelchairs, and two students requested city help distributing bilingual civic-engagement posters for immigrant services.
During the public-comment period a resident identified as Shoshana asked the council to make the city park gazebo accessible to people who use canes, walkers, or wheelchairs, describing stairs at both entrances and saying attendees are sometimes unable to reach the gazebo: "I'm requesting that the city make the park more accessible." The mayor acknowledged the request and said staff would look into it.
Students Roxanne Bernatja Nunez and Joanna Tulladonna presented a California State Seal of Civic Engagement project that created bilingual posters listing local services (food banks, help obtaining Medi-Cal, and ESL classes). They asked council members and members of the public to post the flyers to reach immigrant community members; staff suggested including the materials in the city's weekly bulletin for broader distribution.
These comments were made during the public-comment portion of the agenda (non-agenda items). No formal council action was taken; the requests were referred to staff for follow-up and potential inclusion in future bulletins and park maintenance discussions.
