Approval of Minutes  
Agenda Items:  
Nate Hundt - transition age youth 18-21 years old and awareness of that  
process  
Nate Hundt spoke to the committee about bringing awareness to the transition  
process and prime transition age. 18-21 years of age is the prime transition  
age. The earlier you start planning this transition process the better off the  
individual will be for post high school graduation. Age 18 is where the choice  
of funding and choice of guardianship occur. This is knowledge the CCD  
should be educated about and can play in an important role for advocating.

Competitive integrated employment (CIE) does not allow sub minimum wage.  
The committee should become more educated about CIE and 14c.

the state to equip all state connecting highway signals with APS.  
The City will officially adopt PROWAG on Thursday April 11th at Council.  
Discussion of resolution presented at J&A regarding sidewalk on 27th,  
28th, and 29th streets  
The CCD was not represented well at F&P. Jeff made the comment that he felt  
disgusted by the comments made about people with disabilities. Public  
comment should be random and not stacked in one sides favor and should be  
open for rebuttal.

resolution.
