The minutes were approved. 2. President ’s Report ( Jaimie Davis ) a. 4 th of July Ja imie recounted discussions to make the July 4 th festivities more accessible to people with disabilities, who have varied needs. Paul Vaggiano has suggested to Jaimie that perhaps the Village could use the vacant commercial space that Parisa East used to occupy at the corner of Broad and East Ridgewood Avenue. People with sensory issues or who are sensitive to heat or noise could be inside and enjoy the parade from the large windows, whereas those who would like to be outside can stay in a sectioned off area outside the space. We could consider blocking off the area in front of the restaurant so that the view is not blocked ; sectioning off some parking spaces in the adjacent garage ; and limiting access so it does not get too congested. Jaimie noted that in organizing this event, the Committee should be sensitive to consider the needs of all disabled people not just those with, e.g., neurodivergent issues or accessibility issues.
