WORKSHOP SESSION
1. GLENDALE MAYOR'S COMMITTEE ON PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
GOALS AND ACTION PLAN FOR THE 1989/90 AND 1990/91 FISCAL
YEARS

members of the Mayor's Committee on Persons with
Disabilities. Those in attendance were Carol Baska, Belinda
Gardner, Bill Patena, Lois Werda and Christina Powers, City
Liaision. Also present was Pat Harlan.
Mr. Osuna continued his summary by stating in February
1988, the City council passed an ordinance to establish the
Glendale Mayor's Committee on Persons with Disabilities. The
purpose of the Committee is to function as a general advisory
board to keep the City Council informed about matters of
interest or importance to Glendale's disabled citizens, to
help educate the general public about the needs and skills of
the disabled and about their involvement in, and
contributions to the community.
Carol Baska, Chairman of the Committee, outlined the
specific goals and action plan with time frames for
accomplishment, for the 1989/90 and 1990/91 fiscal years.
See attached).
Each of next year's goals contributes to the Committee's
primary purpose which is to improve the quality of life for
Glendale's citizens with disabilities. Specifically to
improve equal opportunity to access employment,
transportation, shopping, recreation, and all municipal
services.
Councilmember Huffman asked the committee if anything
was being done to investigate and document hazardous
conditions e.g. stairs in elderly citizens' homes. Ms. Baska

Have more participation from the City Ccunci!.
It is recognized that each of these coals may be 1) accomplished this fiscal
year, 2) be determined a long-term goal to be accomplished within the next five
years, or 3) be on-going goals. It is also recognized that more coals will be
added each year. This committee desires to be a functional committee that gets
things accomplished. We would like to be considered an integral part of the
Glendale Community and the overall goal is to make life for the disabled
population in the City of Glendale a truly quality life. We would hope that the
City of Glendale will be known as a City of Vision in this area, as it is known
in other areas. We would like the citizenship to Focus on the Individual's
Abilities, rather than their Disabilities. In order for this Vision to take place,
we need to show a strong leadership and present to the public a positive program
that will lead us in this direction.
Attached are goal "breakdowns" which describe in more detail how these goals may
be met.
