Bill Hadley.- Question was raised about front door of 'town Office Building not being
relevant to ADA (memo to Bill Hadley of 3/5/02). It was noted, however,
that the platform is not compliant. It was suggested that Bill be
approached to ask him if he needed help of a consultant in order to sort out
what has been made ADA compliant since the 1994 audit. Bill will be
attending the Enablement Committee meeting scheduled for Tueday,July
16 at 2 p.m. and had agreed to report on this matter.
Liberty Ride. The Committee agreed that a letter should be sent to the Minuteman
protesting not being consulted about buses for visiting historic sites that
would be accessible. This was considered a public expression of a lack of
awareness. The people most concerned should have been consulted.
Apparently, there was no consideration given to finding a vendor whose
buses were accessible.
