Jim you rant and attack but what do you truly believe would make the current city marina extra ADA compliant. Fact is they meet all current ADA standards and your strong arming the city into hiring and attorney to prove it in no way helps Boot Key Harbor residents or vistors. Everyone would like to have a space on the dock with our name on it, but that truly wouldn't be fair.
: Using a disability to be cheap may be a
: real
: disability.
:
: This would show that some people do not
: understand being disabled does not mean just
: being confined to a wheelchair. For that
: I'm sorry for the lack of knowledge and
: understanding
:
: How can non- accessable docks be
: useful for the truly disabled even if they
: are for free?
:
: Boats (themselves) can be setup with a ramp
: allowing access from a dock.
:
: There is a big difference between docking
: for the disabled and pickup/drop off for the
: wheelchair bound.

:
: Subject: Re: Posting of the RFP/RFQs
:
: Good afternoon Mr. Geotis,
:
: Yes, that was what I was looking for.
:
: I want to thank you for your time in
: this matter.
:
: I believe by taking action now, it will
: save the City of Marathon millions of
: dollars in the future. And bring in even
: more cruisers (who spend money).
:
: Two (2) Items though, we will still need
: the city to approve no dinghy dockage fee
: for the disabled until the docks are in
: compliance.
:
: The new ordnance will need to be approve
: within
: 60 days from September 11,2007. So that
: everything is on the up and up.
:
: Once the dinghy docks are in compliance you
: can sign me up 1st.
:
: The 2nd item I'd like to pass by you is:
: In Key Largo, their water taxis have
: wheelchair access.
:
: I have seen and heard from the operators
: of
: the taxi, that many tourist are now
: going to
: Key Largo because they are able to get
: out
: on the water due to the availability of
: water taxis with the wheelchair access.
:
: The city hands out grant for different
: support groups, why not some kind of
: grant
: for the water taxi so they can get setup
: for
: wheel chair access? No reason for Key
: Largo
: to get all the money.
:
: You may contact them for added
: information
: at either 305-394-1980 or 305-451-2102.
: ask for Capt. Mick.
:
: I believe this would add great value to
: the
: harbor and the City of Marathon.
:
: But yes Mr. Geotis, I know one thing at a
: time.
:
: And I do thank you greatly for your help,
:
