To the editor:<\/p>\n
I want thank The Breeze for its editorial \u201cAccommodation that\u2019s reasonable,\u201d Cape Council moves input back to start of meeting agenda. \u00a0Now that citizens input is back at the beginning of the meetings for ADA and those with disabilities as well the citizens of Cape Coral, we can attend with dignity.\u00a0 We can always hang on to the idea that Council is listening to us before they discuss and vote on the issues.<\/p>\n
I want to thank the city attorney, for having the just interpretation of the ADA law of 1993 firmly in hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I want to thank the six members of the City Council who voted yes.\u00a0The seventh council member did not vote for the resolution because of not fully addressing the time for the ADA and those with disabilities\u2019 presentations.\u00a0It is addressed.\u00a0The city clerk and city attorney have the guidelines. It will be exactly the same for ADA and handicap requests as done at the last meeting of the Lee School District.\u00a0This was implemented by the school district attorney and the executive secretary which is equivalent to our City Clerk. It worked perfectly. I attended the June 9 school district\u00a0 meeting. I was granted my ADA request.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the June 2025 Council meeting the mayor was in agreement to move citizens input time to the END of the meeting thus ending any meaningful citizens input for not only ADA and handicap residents but also the citizens.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is an election year mayor.\u00a0You can change your mind in 2026. Right?<\/p>\n
In regard to Citizens input time, this was and will always be just and right for all of our citizens of Cape Coral.\u00a0 See you all at the meetings.\u00a0 God bless America.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
