The meeting was called to order at 5:30 p.m. on the front steps of City Hall.
The City Manager reported he requested this worksession in order to show the
Commission additional alternatives regarding the ramp for disabled access at City Hall. He
{,.l'.,,,",\ stated his concerns regarding the currently approved plan to place the ramp on the north side
,~~;1 of the building had not taken into account the additional drop of 1 8 inches in the elevation
which would result in additional grade. Also, the curb stops for the parking spaces would
have to be backed up resulting in a tight aisle between the disabled parking spaces and the
parking spaces on the other side of the lot. He also had a concern regarding the placement
of a storm drain causing drainage concerns.
He stated if the original concept of placing the ramp in front of the building were to be
followed, that ramp would be landscaped heavily in order to make it more aesthetically
pleasing. He also reported the disabled parking would be placed along the south side of the
parking lot with a curb cut on the sidewalk.
He reported part of the difficulty in the disabled parking spaces is that it is required
they have an exit to the front of the vehicles. He stated another alternative would be to have
a lineal ramp at the south side of the building with a final alternative being what he called "a
baby elevator" at the corner of the steps which would lift disabled citizens to the first level
and then a ramp would be available to get them beyond the last two steps up to the front door
of City Hall.
Commissioner Thomas stated the biggest problem for the disabled citizens coming to
City Hall is getting out of the rain and he asked what the cost was for each alternative. The
City Manager stated all the alternatives are within $1,000 to $2,000 of each other.

Commissioner Thomas questioned whether or not it was easiest to place the ramp on
the south side. Elizabeth Deptula, Assistant City Manager, stated the easiest would be for the
ramps to be in the front of the building on either side .of the steps. The City Manager
reiterated there would also be a ramp up the last two steps to City Hall.
The Mayor questioned why the disabled parking could not be in the first aisle of the
parking lot and the Assis rant City Manager indicated the aisle was not wide enough due to the
additional space needed In front of the vehicles.
The worksession adjourned at 5:50 p.m.
