Public Notice. Public Notice.
Signed by my hand today is the following Public Notice. As of November 1, 2010, all handicapped ramps to businesses, buildings, homes and offices shall be removed. These must be removed by private property owners.
All ramps on public property will be removed by the City of Freehold. Those on property owned by Iowa's State Government or the United States Federal Government will also be removed by employees of the City of Freehold.
The reason for the removal is that the Federal Handicapped Assess Law has expired, or, seems to have expired since we no longer hear much about it. We don't hear much about the State of Iowa's handicapped access law which was adopted with much fanfare about 20 some years ago.
By eliminating these unsitely ramps, we believe the City will be much more attractive and will further prosper.
In addition, we will no longer an a "issue" with these ramps. The issue I refer to is the fall which one of the Pastors' wives experienced last winter while walking in heels on one of our sidewalk ramps during an icy spell.
Please join me in the enjoyment of the fall colors in this, the most beautiful City in America.
Johny Joe Hold, Mayor
