You should have no difficulty retrieving this information from System Seven and are required to account and make transparent to the public expenditures of these ARRA funds. Nor, should your agency have any difficulty in making these documents fully accessible in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 requirements to do soas, of course your agency is after all the Michigan Commission for the Blind.
