<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I am writing today to receive the
draft minutes and all documents (commissioner’s packets) for the past two
meetings of the MCB Board. Those have past the 8 working day deadline under the
Open Meetings Act and moreover since they are commission meetings these
documents were required to be made readily available to blind advocates pro
forma, in a timely manner and in the most effective format of the individual
under the Rehabilitation Act, the ADA, and in several citations too numerous to
denote here. Note all documents related to meetings of the MCB board must be
made readily available again affirmatively let alone upon request and thus this
is not a FOIA issue.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">In addition I’m requesting all
documents related to tomorrow’s so-called “emergency meeting” of the MCB in
accessible format.</P>
