ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />Action Agenda <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Item No. =V- <br />Meeting Date: May 6, 1991 <br />SUBJECT: DISABILITY AWARENESS WEEK <br />------ - - - - -- --------------------------------- <br />DEPARTMENT: COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC HEARING YES: NO: X <br />--------------------------------- ---------------------------------- <br />ATTACHMENT(S): YES - PROCLAMATION INFORMATION CONTACT: VERLA INSKO <br />TELEPHONE NUMBER <br />Hillsborough <br />- 732 -8181 <br />Chapel Hill <br />- 968 -5401 <br />Durham <br />- 688 -7331 <br />Mebane <br />- 227 -10031 <br />PURPOSE: To proclaim May 5- through May 11 as "Disability Awareness Week" <br />in Orange County. <br />BACKGROUND: The past twenty years have produced many improvements for <br />people with disabilities. Our Nation, State, and County have all <br />participated in providing increased opportunities for disabled people. <br />Success has come through the hard work of disabled and non - disabled people <br />joining together to break down barriers while building the chance to live <br />with freedom and independence. This week marks a time when we should stop <br />and evaluate past progress, and set new goals so that equality can be <br />attained. This is a time when each Orange County citizen can examine <br />local businesses, his or her place of employment, and community services <br />for the purposes of ensuring the same opportunities are enjoyed by both <br />disabled and non - disabled members of our County, and further, to <br />advocate for greater accessibility until equal opportunity has been <br />attained for every person having a disability. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): Read and approve the proclamation and authorize the Chair <br />to sign on behalf of the Board. <br />
