considered soon for accessibility. He mentioned, concerning the <br />job posting for a position with the Parks & Recreation Department, <br />that the notice is inside the city's doorway. He explained that <br />before the Council meeting they pushed the button to open the front <br />door and it did not open the first or second time, but did open on <br />the third try, with his wife using all of her weight and body <br />strength. He stated that, if she had any leg or hand disfunction, <br />it would not have been accomplished. <br /> <br />Davidson asked that the front door be checked, as it didn't take a <br />lot of pressure to open it, when it was first installed. <br /> <br />Hardy: <br /> <br />The 10 day time frame for submitting <br />the letter to Mr. Chris Miller, ADA <br />Coordinator, has passed. I talked <br />to Chris about this and I understand <br />that it's going to take a little bit <br />of time and some paperwork. But, <br />this was the meeting that falls <br />closest to the time frame. There is <br />some question as to the entire scope <br />of the project and the correct <br />consideration of the ADA, as it is <br />written. I have met and proceeded <br />with the grievance policy in <br />accordance to the way it's written. <br /> <br />Lathrop stated that he had read Mr. Hardy's letter and explained <br />that the city only had only so much money and they try to spend it <br />where it would benefit the most people in the quickest amount of <br />time. <br /> <br />Hardy stated that he had lived in Louisville for two years. <br />Starting with the Short Street project, he had been communicating <br />with the city about their particular fundamental philosophy and new <br />construction, as far as doing street work and putting in curb cuts. <br />There was a decision made not to put curb cuts in on the Short <br />Street project, which he had brought to the city's attention. He <br />stated that he has worked within the process. <br /> <br />Lathrop: <br /> <br />My point is that I think the city is <br />going quite to the positive side of <br />the ledger to do as much as it can <br />do within its means. Far more so <br />than any other municipalities of our <br />size and budget. We're doing the <br />best we can do, as fast as we can do <br />it. Our intentions are not only <br />good, but we're backing it up with <br />the budgets that we can possibly <br />expend, considering all other <br />things. <br /> <br /> <br />
