Florida Accessibility Code Workshop Project Overview
Overview
Parties that participated in the Accessibility
Code Workgroup’s development of the draft 2010 Accessibility Code and public
workshops on the Code prior to its adoption contend it was the intent of
recommendations coming from the workshops that the 2010 ADA Standards for
Accessible Design exception for press boxes at small sports venues, such as
little league fields and school ball fields, to be on accessible routes should
apply in Florida also. For the ADA Standards exception to apply clarification
would need to be added to the Florida law requirement for vertical
accessibility that the exception should apply. A workshop will be held during
the Florida Building Commission’s October 2011 meeting to provide a forum for
discussion of adding such an exception/clarification to law.
Workshop Procedural
Guidelines

Role
ü The Workshop process is an opportunity
to explore possibilities. Offering or exploring an idea does not necessarily
imply support for it.
ü Listen to understand. Seek a shared
understanding even if you don’t agree.
ü Be focused and concise—balance
participation & minimize repetition. Share the airtime.
ü Look to the facilitator(s) to be
recognized. Please raise your hand to speak.
ü Speak one person at a time. Please don’t
interrupt each other.
ü Focus on issues, not personalities.
Avoid stereotyping or personal attacks.
ü To the extent possible, offer options to
address other’s concerns, as well as your own.
ü Participate fully in discussions, and
complete meeting assignments as requested.
ü Serve as an accessible liaison, and
represent and communicate with member’s constituent group.

The Name
Stacking Process
ü Determines the speaking order.
ü Participant raises hand to speak. Facilitator(s)
will call on participants in turn.
ü Facilitator(s) may interrupt the stack
(change the speaking order) in order to promote discussion on a specific issue
or, to balance participation and allow those who have not spoken on an issue an
opportunity to do so before others on the list who have
already spoken on the issue.

During the workshop(s),
participants will be asked to develop and rank options, and following
discussions and refinements, may be asked to do
