Currently, the City is required under numerous Federal and State laws to enforce and comply with all aspects of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In order to keep the purpose of this Committee clearly defined, it is equally important to define Committee limitations. The ADA Access Advisory Committee is not involved in: 1. ADA compliance related to private development applications, approvals or enforcement. This responsibility is carried out by the Community Development Department. 2. Grievances under the ADA directed toward the City. Anyone who wishes to file a complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of disability in the provision of services, activities, programs, or benefits by the City of San Rafael shall fall under the provisions of the City's grievance procedure. 3. Project review and approval. Existing Boards or Commissions (such as the Design Review Board or Planning Commission) that are established for public or private project review and approval, which includes full ADA compliance, shall remain with those Boards and Commissions. 4. City bids, contracts and agreements. The City has full responsibility to ensure that all approved bids, contracts and agreements are in full compliance under the ADA. QUALIFICATIONS All members of the ADA Access Advisory Committee must be individuals with a strong interest and enthusiasm for bringing the City of San Rafael into compliance with the DOJ Settlement Agreement and the ADA. The Advisory Committee shall consist of nine (9) members. The majority of members of the Committee shall be residents of the City who have significant experience in the disability community. At least five (5) members shall be both residents of San Rafael and persons with disabilities.

Robert has served on the Commission on Aging for many years, first as an elected member to the California Senior Legislature, and more recently, as the appointee of Supervisor Susan Adams from the Supervisorial District 1. He has also served on the Executive Committee of the Commission on Aging. Robert is a passionate advocate for the concerns of the disabled and older adult communities in Marin. He has made many contributions in this area, and as Senior Legislator, he was able to get sponsorship for legislation he wrote to benefit older and disabled adults with improved long-term care. I am confident that he will be an asset to the ADA Advisory Committee.
