Committee For Citizens With Disabilities
The Committee for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) was created on December 12, 2019. They are authorized to review and make recommendations on any issue pertaining to persons with disabilities and those who are regarded as having disabilities, including but not limited to transportation, education, vocational, public service, housing, and construction issues.
Our Mission
The Committee for Citizens with Disabilities will work to ensure that City of La Crosse facilities and resources are accessible to all and will strive to create a community that values and respects people of all disabilities and those who are regarded as having disabilities. The committee will promote awareness, equity, and inclusion by hosting listening sessions, producing educational materials on issues facing those with disabilities. We will also foster outreach and partnering with area nonprofits and local, state, and federal institutions.
The committee is comprised of up to nine members, including one council member, appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Common Council. Appointed members must be residents of the City of La Crosse. Terms are three years.
