Carson Mayor of Fort Collins 1515 South Shields Fort Collins, Colorado i Dear Mayor Carson: The Advisory Committee on the Employment of the Handicapped has reviewed many standards relevant to specifications for making buildings and facilities accessible and usable by the physically handicapped population. Paramount among those considered was the Tulsa City Ordinance #7776 which ammended the building code in that city pertinent to building and construction. We have found, after considerable study, that the Tulsa program adheres to the American National Standards published by the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults and approved by the President's Committee on Employment of the Physically Handicapped. This Advisory Committee on the Employment of the Handicapped categorically recommend that all building codes for the city of Fort Collins be reviewed in light of the standards specifically notPa by the American National Standards. Institute. We further recommend that all inconsistencies or deficits identified in the current building code of Fort Collins be ammended so that our building code is compatible w.ith the American National Standards. Obviously, members of this ccirmittee do not have the experti.se to accom- plish this recommendation and, therefore, we formally recommend that appropri-. ate individuals be named by the City Council to take appropriate steps to update the Fort Collins building code in a manner which will eliminate any discrepancy between the existing code and the National :standard. ,59 February 8, 1973 Respectfully , Martha Cooper, Chairman Mayor's Committee for the Employment of the Handicapped Ralph Braden, Member Don Perry, Vi,ee-Chairman Owen Lechler, Member Edward Ronayne, Secretary v' Mayor Carson referred this matter to the Administration for review and recommendation. Copies given to Council members with original in Central Files.
