CONSUMER INVOLVEMENT COUNCIL

    Minutes from March 31, 2003 
 

 

My comments are here in parenthesis. But, this is from the above minutes and goes to the fact that MCB was notified in this regard. Now MCB as any other state agency is supposed to act affirmatively in barrier removal and that is long established case law (Tyler v. Manhattan for one). Regardless once an agency has been notified of its obligations and persistently ignores them then it is also acting with deliberate indifference to the civil rights law. The standard of this type of violation also triggers a 1983 action basis for intent and willful discrimination against parties like Director Cannon. And at a minimum stands as direct evidence of a pattern and practice of discrimination against an entire class of individuals. But, this is just one of my and collective requests for MCB and indeed all state agencies coming into compliance with the ADAAG/ADA Title II requirements throughout all of its facilities. Joe Harcz)

 

“Joe Harcz made the following motion; regarding MCB facilities, any changes or continued use of facilities due to this move, have Commission offices and buildings they are in have raised character and Braille signage in compliance with ADA guidelines.  Casey Dutmer seconded motion.  Discussion took place in these regards and the motion passed.
