Pleasant Valley Recreation & Park District

Not So…. Pleasant Valley Recreation & Park District…. Citation #453, Re: Bob Cerasuolo, Parks Superintendent Recently I was invited and did visit Camarillo, I was invited to an event by a long time friend, retail business owner and resident of Camarillo as well. Unfortunately I was late, flustered and lost, imagine that a Handicapped Senior, late and lost. I parked where I am allowed by my Disability and rushed inside forgetting to place my Handicap Placard on the mirror of my rental car. I did travel with my Handicap Placard and it’s totally out of line for Bob Cerasuolo, your Parks Superintendent to assume/accuse and state in his response to my letter and documentation, “In the future, please take your placard with you when you travel and plan on renting a car.” The total lack of professionalism on his part is an embarrassment to your community. its tourism and economy. Yes I did not place it on the mirror at the onset of my parking and it is my mistake… One I did rectify at the “morning” break from the event I attended, within 2 hours of parking. I also tried to rectify this by phone and could not get anyone to answer and help. If I were to be driving without my drivers license, registration or proof of insurance a Policeman will also give me a ticket. Upon showing that documentation to the courts that ticket is dismissed. This should be a fix-it ticket. The question should be... Am I disabled? Do I deserve to park in a handicap spot? Obviously I have proved that clearly. Your policies are tourist, Senior & Disability unfriendly. This is abuse of power and money grabbing. It should be enough to prove I am disabled and be entitled to park in a closer parking spot. This should be a fix-it ticket. Bob Cerasuolo, Parks Superintendent could have chosen to do the right thing and dismiss the ticket. Does he really think that me living 2,500 miles away and having his threat of late penalties affect me at my age is of any concern to me? I will gladly take my senior time to contact AARP, bombast the media waves and internet in all the senior blogs and inform them of just how unfriendly Camarillo is to tourists… I definitely plan on contacting California’s infamous Disabled Advocacy Groups as well. Bob Cerasuolo, Parks Superintendent is not an asset to your community and should be placed in a position that does not require him to be in contact with the public. Sincerely, Michael Bales
