City Hall Complex Master Plan Accessibility Specialized Input Group Report INTRODUCTION City Hall Complex Master Planning began in October of 2005 in response to a Council Goal regarding Eugene’s aging City Hall. Since then, many studies and extensive public involvement have facilitated policy decisions by the city council to guide the design process. The current phase of master planning will lead to a concept design to be shared with the city council and the public in December 2007. Specialized Input Groups (SIGs) of residents with specific expertise relative to particular topics have been organized to assist the consultant team in thinking through and examining three themes central to this phase: Accessibility, Sustainability, and Police Facilities. In addition, an open Community Forum will provide feedback on the development of the design. For the Accessibility SIG held September 27, 2007, individuals with specific expertise were invited to serve as citizen advisors, including members of the Eugene Human Rights Commission’s subcommittee on Disability, Board members of LILA (Lane Independent Living Alliance), and other local experts. This is the second meeting to gather specialized input on accessibility. SIG participants included: Mary Otten, Human Rights Commission, Police Commission Karen Hyatt, Human Rights Commission staff Fred Tepfer, University of Oregon Marion Walter, University of Oregon, retired Joel Phifer, Lane Regional Program, Braillist Cindy Lashbaugh, resident Gene Organ, LILA Board Chair, State of Oregon Disabilities Coordinator Dave Kleger, LTD Accessibility Services Committee Consultant Team Participants included: Jonah Cohen.
