Assistive Listening Devices Available
|
|
Assistive listening devices are now available for use when attending public meetings at the City Hall Boardroom and at the Municipal Annex Conference Room C.
The devices are essentially amplifiers that bring sound directly into the ear. They separate the sounds, particularly speech, that a person wants to hear from background noise, and improve what is known as the speech-to-noise ratio.
A person just needs to notify the meeting clerk on site to request to use a device.
Sign language interpreters and other special accommodations will be made for those who need them, if they contact Pam Stocksdale at pstocksdale@cityoffrederick.com in advance of the meeting.

Intern to Join on Projects; City Earns Healthy Honors
|
|
The City of Frederick, already a Healthy Eating Active Living City, achieved Gold Level designation at the Maryland Municipal League Summer Conference this summer.
The City has been a HEAL City since June 2015 and is a case study for HEAL. This was the first time the City was able to apply for designation, and it had already completed many of the requirements. The City will work toward platinum in the next couple years. "We have to show that our initiatives are infiltrating City staff, residents, and businesses," Sustainability Manager Jenny Willoughby said.
Get more detail from Jenny Willoughby, 301-600-2843; or from the City website.
CCC Intern Starts Aug. 23
Willoughby will welcome Chesapeake Conservation Corps member Yashvanth (Yash) Pavuluri for a year's internship.
The Chesapeake Bay Trust offers the opportunity for non-profit organizations and local governments to apply to be a host organization. Corps members are initially selected by the Trust based on their interests. CBT then pairs up sites with members, based on need and interests. "There is no guarantee for placement for either the host group or the member," Willoughby said. "They only have funding to pay stipends for a certain number of corps members, so we're excited that we got a placement."
