20th ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
On July 26, 1990, President George H. Bush signed into law the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to ensure the civil rights of
people with disabilities. This legislation established a clear and
comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination
against individuals with disabilities.
The ADA has expanded opportunities for Americans with disabilities
by reducing barriers and changing perceptions, increasing full
participation in community life. However, the full promise of the ADA
will only be reached if public entities remain committed in their efforts
to fully implement the ADA.
4n the 24th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, we, the
City of Milton, celebrate and recognize the progress that has been made
by reaffirming the principals of equality and inclusion and recommitting
our efforts to reach full ADA compliance.
The National ADA Symposium is spearheading the 2010 by 2010
Campaign in recognition of the passage of this landmark civil rights
legislation- The National ADA Symposium is inviting state and local
governments, schools and colleges, businesses, organizations, service
providers, and advocates to join in its "Proclamation of Recommitment"
to the spirit of the ADA and hopes to collect 2010 proclamations prior
to the end of 2010.
Now, therefore, we, the Mayor and City Council of the City of Milton, hereby join with
other cities across the nation in proclaiming our recommitment to the spirit of the
Americans with Disabilities Act on this historic anniversary of the Act.
Given under our hand and seal of the City of Milton, Georgia on this 19th day of July,
2010.
