PUBLIC NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the Town of Marmet is partnering with the Regional Intergovernmental Council (RIC) to adopt the recently drafted American with Disabilities Act Transition Plan. The plan was drafted in compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). The plan seeks to provide all necessary and practical accommodations for all residents of Marmet, regardless of ability. ADA is a civil rights law prohibiting discrimination against individuals based on disability. It was enacted on July 26, 1990 and was amended in 2008 with the ADA Amendments Act. Title II of ADA pertains to the programs, activities and services provided by public entities. The Town of Marmet must comply with this section of the ADA, as it specifically applies to public service agencies. Title II of ADA states that “no qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by any such entity.” (42 USC Sec. 12132; 28 CFR Sec. 35.130) As required by Title II of ADA (28 CFR Part 35 Sec. 35.105 and Sec. 35.150), Marmet has conducted a self-evaluation of its services, programs, activities, and facilities on public property and within public rights-of-way; and has developed this Transition Plan detailing the methods to be used to ensure compliance with ADA accessibility requirements. Any interested or affected citizens, public agencies, representatives of transportation agencies, private providers of transportation, freight shippers, public transit users, or other parties who desire to view the new ADA transition plan should submit their comments prior to October 16th, 2020 at 4:00 PM to the following address or email. This plan will be presented for public comments at Marmet’s regularly scheduled September 21st, 2020 Town Council Meeting and presented for final approval on October 19th, 2020. Marmet Town Hall 9403 McCorkle Ave, Marmet, WV 25315 or Plan Coordinator/ Councilman Robert Thompson [email protected] LC-97956 09-15;2020
