Re: Request for accessible information

 

Patrick Cannon

 

ADA Coordinator, State of Michigan

 

(Via e-mail)

 

Dear Mr. Cannon,

 

I am writing you today in your capacity as the ADA Coordinator for the State of Michigan to bring an access issue to your attention and to request accessible

information. Please note that in the web page attached to this letter that there are several documents related to access on the Department of Labor and

Economic Growth’s web site including the Department’s “Accessible Meeting Policy”. Unfortunately these documents are not accessible to me in that they

are .pdf files that are not readily convertible to my system. They are either improperly formatted for the Adobe file conversion system that my Windows

millennium system will support or simply my version (which is all that I can have) will not support the version used here. Regardless every time I “click”

on the links below I get an “error reading document” message. Moreover, the Adobe conversion tools by e-mail won’t convert these documents. I find this

and similar situations with state documents to say the least ironic as effective communications is a requirement of the ADA and again as these very documents

concern ADA compliance which includes access to state documents.

 

I suggest that just as the U.S. Department of Justice and other sites do that whenever a Pdf” file of any sort is posted to the public on any state web

site that a corollary html or plain text document is also posted that is accessible to our adaptive aids and not just those with the most advanced systems.

 

This said I am formally requesting all of the documents listed in the attachment with a “pdf icon” in accessible format pursuant to the effective communications

requirements of Title II of the ADA and the “auxiliary aids and services” provisions of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Please note the

“primary consideration” elements of the implementing regulations in these regards.

 

Specifically I request that these documents are remitted to me as either plain text enclosures or Word 97 file attachments to my e-mail address listed above.

 

I thank you as always for your prompt attention to this matter.

 

Sincerely,

 

Paul “Joe” Harcz, Jr.

Accessible Meetings

 

DLEG's Equal Opportunity Officer, with assistance from members of her ADA Committee, developed an accessible meetings policy and procedures to assist DLEG

 

employees in planning meetings or events sponsored and planned in whole or in part by DLEG. "Accessible" means that all who are qualified to attend a meeting

 

or event will be able to attend, participate in all activities, and have access to information in a manner that allows full participation during the event.

 

DLEG's Equal Opportunity Office also developed a training program on the policy and procedures.
