The last Master Plan was done in 2002 and this Master Plan will be complete in 2012. As part of the process the department will complete a needs analysis of all the facilities including parks, senior centers, etc. The department will then do a series of public input to include community meetings, telephone and internet survey. Mr. Morris stated the consultant will be at next month's CFPWD meeting to get input from the Committee on issues that may need to be addressed. A Master Plan Committee has been formed which has representatives from several different departments across the city. The department will be conducting community meetings later in the month and will be sending out flyers with a schedule of the meetings within the next couple of days. There are seven planning areas (Northwest, Downtown, West, Along the Bay, Southside, Flour Bluff and Padre Island) and will develop priorities within those areas. Mr. Bates asked how the department is ensuring that everyone will be able to participate in the surveys in terms of accessibility. For example: someone with a cross disability a deaf and hard of hearing or perhaps someone who is blind. Mr. Batesm concern is full universal surveys are done people with disabilities are not in the forefront of access and therefore cannot participate. Mr. Morris stated the consultant has been trained to address those types of issues and when the consultant attends the CFPWD meeting in February, that and any other issues may be addressed. Mr. Bazar stated he plans to extend an invitation to several community agencies to help communicate those needs. 7. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS A.
