Donald Pauley, Clerk -Administrator was <br />designated as the "responsible employee" to coordinate <br />implementation of the handicapped discrimination <br />requirements. Notification was also posted in the City Hall <br />Foyer and a copy of the Notice was sent to WCCO radio with <br />the request that it be read as a Public Service Announcement. <br />The City will also take continuing steps to notify the public <br />of changes made to improve access by the handicapped to <br />programs and activities of the City. Such notification will <br />include notices and articles in the City Newsletter which is <br />published six times annually as well as notification in the <br />official newspaper of the City, the New Brighton Bulletin. <br />II.

Each of these facilities <br />are totally accessible to handicapped persons. <br />Park and Recreation Director Anderson has also inspected <br />City Parks and finds that, in general, they are totally <br />accessible to handicapped persons as they are flat, with <br />no major steps, large hills or bermed areas which would <br />make them difficult to access by handicapped <br />individuals. The City currently has six shelter <br />buildings which are located at the following parks sites: <br />1.

This is not <br />accessible to handicapped persons. It could be made <br />
