[blindlaw] Municipal and Legislative Proposals

[Ben Karpilow]

Here in Santa Rosa California, the City has an ADA coordinator whose job it 
is to monitor and  facilitate ADA compliance. Recently,  the City's ADA 
coordinator distributed a questionairre  asking for citizen input regarding 
accessibility. Using that feedback, the City conducted an assessment and 
determined which locations warranted expenditure of funds set aside for ADA 
compliance.  In this way, the City was able to target locations deemed most 
inaccissible by its citizens, a most proper way of doing things, I think. I 
Hope this helps.
