Ask why disability committee heard evacuation drill briefing two days prior
Context: The same item appeared twice, listed "To Be Introduced" on 2026-05-06 and presented 2026-06-03 by Lisa Oliver for a June 5 drill, and member Aliza Huerta had to request a Public Service Announcement for all announcements after Oliver cited only local news advertising.
Recommended: Ask Parks and Recreation why the summer programs and hurricane evacuation exercise briefing sat on the committee's agenda as "To Be Introduced" on May 6 and was not actually delivered until June 3 — two days before the June 5 drill — and request the outreach records showing how the drill and the new accessibility amenities were publicized beyond a local news mention.
Reserve beach wheelchairs and trail chair at city parks now
Context: Lisa Oliver detailed these amenities to the Committee for Persons with Disabilities on 2026-06-03, and after Aliza Huerta requested a Public Service Announcement for all announcements Oliver confirmed only that the evacuation exercise was advertised on local news.
Recommended: If you or a family member uses a mobility device, contact Parks and Recreation about the beach wheelchairs now available at Magee, North Beach and the Gulf beaches, the trail chair at Oso Wetlands Preserve, the new sensory time at the Natatorium, and the new walking trail at Labonte Park — and ask what the checkout or reservation procedure is, because no public service announcement was issued.
