Please contact Ms. Clark or Ms. Belluscio if you can assist with any of the items and/or tasks on the list. We need more committee involvement with this process.

ATM Placements

Parking consultant coming to campus in September
Mr. Jozefowicz mentioned that a parking consultant would be coming to campus to evaluate parking. One [Top]ic that Mr. Jozefowicz would like to discuss would be the accessible parking project. He would like to make the signage more consistent than its current state. He will let the committee know more information as the time arises.
Accessible Parking Committee
There was discussion of having a three to four person committee to look at accessible parking requests. Suggestions for the membership of this committee would include the director or assistant director of the Office of Disabilities, one faculty member, one staff member, and a physician.
Mr. Jozefowicz is going to research more regarding this issue and talk with the consultant in September regarding this specialized committee and its duties.
Dr. Huff will contact the committee she was on at the University of Kentucky and request the packet they used for this process; she will then forward this information to Mr. Jozefowicz for his review.
