O. Box 707 <br />Concord, NC 28026-0707 <br /> <br />Ofl~ce of <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Witherspoon: <br /> <br />Thank you for allowing Centralina Council of Governments to present this proposal regarding <br />measures for compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Recently, members of <br />our staff met with Steve Little and discussed how Centralina could assist in the preparation of <br />Cabarrus County's self-evaluation and transition plan. <br /> <br />The Americans With Disabilities Acts states a series of deadlines for implementing <br />modifications to current administrative and structural conventions. January 26, 1992, is the <br />deadline for completing a self-evaluation, producing a Barrier Removal Plan, and removing <br />existing barriers from "public Accommodations provided it is readily achievable to do so". <br />Although we will not meet that deadline, we propose to work efficiently to complete the <br />actions as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Following is a list of activities which Centralina may effect to establish a process as desired <br />by ADA. Activities have been categorizes either as administrative modifications or structural <br />modifications. <br /> <br />Administrative Modifications: <br /> <br />Effecting administrative modifications will require a great deal of coordination with County <br />staff. ADA recommends the appointment of and individual to act as ADA Coordinator for <br />each jurisdiction. This proposal is made with the assumption that such an individual will be <br />available to provide the County's perspective in the process. This phase of the project will <br />include: <br /> <br />Work with ADA Coordinator to develop a grievance procedure and a methodology to <br />respond to grievances and enact necessary changes. <br /> <br />I CABARRUSCOUNTY concord harrisburg kannapolis mount pleasant GASTON COUNTY belmont bessemer city cherryville cramerton dallas <br /> gastonla high shoals lowell mcadenville mount holly ranlo spencer mountain stanley IREDELLCOUNTY harmony mooresville statesville <br /> troutman LINCOLN COUNTY lincolnton MECKLENBURG COUNTY charlotte cornelius davidson huntersville matthews pineville <br /> ROWAN COUNTY china grove cleveland granite quarry landis rockwell salisbury spencer STANLYCOUNTY albemarle locust <br /> new london norwood oakboro richfield stanfield UNION COUNTY indian trail marshviIle monroe stallings weddington wingate <br /> <br /> 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
