li1 <br /> Resident Requests Memo <br /> SeptembeY 10, 2009 <br /> Page 2 <br /> her thoughts for establishing an Energy and Environment Commission and get Council's input <br /> regarding the concept of some type of environmental commission or task force. Amelia first <br /> requested consideration last summer but was asked to wait until a new city administrator was <br /> hired before pursuing the idea of an environmental commission. She has recently renewed her <br /> request to attend a work session. <br /> Consider Installation of Automatic Doors at City Hall for Handicap Accessibilitv (Lin Vee) <br /> A Comment Card was recently received suggesting power doors on all city entrances for <br /> wheelchair-bound people. The Help America Vote Act (HAVA)provides funds far improving <br /> the accessibility and quality of polling places. The Secretary of State's Office has federal grant <br /> funds available to city, township, and county government for polling place accessibility <br /> improvements. If Council is interested, the City could apply for grant funds for automatic door <br /> openers on the Council Chambers and City Hall doors as both of these entrances are used to <br /> access polling places. Staff would also recommend an automatic door opener for the police <br /> department entrance. Grant applications must be submitted by November 2, 2009 with awards in <br /> early December. Typical grant amounts have ranged from $100 up to $6,000 in previous years. <br /> Some projects have received partial funding, with the local jurisdiction responsible for the <br /> balance of the funds. <br /> Consider Installation of Pet Waste Stations Alon� City Trails (Mayor White) <br /> Mayor White received a request to consider setting up pet waste stations along some of the City <br /> trails, i.e. Willow Drive between Hwy 6, Hwy 12 & Old Crystal Bay Road, similar to those <br /> provided on trails maintained by the Three Rivers Park District. <br /> � <br />
