Re: Complaint Number

Dear XX

This letter is in reference to your complaint alleging that
the Charter Township of Canton, Michigan, does not provide
written information in accessible formats in violation of Title
II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).

We have received information from Canton Township indicating
that they have in the past provided written information in
accessible formats upon request. The Township has, furthermore,
drafted a policy "to provide upon request all written materials
including Property Assessments, Tax Statements, Voter
Registrations, Water Billings, etc. in accessible format.
Accessible format would include large printed materials, audio
tapes, braille, and computer disk."

Based on the foregoing information, we have concluded that
your allegations against Canton Township have been resolved.
However, if you are dissatisfied with our determination, you may
be entitled to file a private complaint in the United States
District Court under Title II of the ADA.

This letter does not address other potential claims of
discrimination on the basis of disability that may arise from the
activities of Canton Township. Rather, this letter is limited to
the allegations presented in your complaint.

                                   Sincerely,


                                  Naomi Milton
