Blackford County approves ADA/Title VI implementation plan and appoints coordinator
Summary
The Blackford County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2025 R9 to appoint an Americans with Disabilities Act/Title VI coordinator and adopt a revised Title VI/ADA implementation plan, directing staff to finalize corrections and sign the resolution within two weeks.
The Blackford County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt a revised Title VI and Americans with Disabilities Act implementation plan and to appoint an ADA/Title VI coordinator under Resolution 2025 R9. The public hearing and staff presentation noted the county’s existing documents were last updated in 2014–15 and identified restroom accessibility as the most substantial likely cost to bring facilities fully into compliance.
During the public hearing, a county consultant summarized a review of the county’s Title VI/ADA materials and offered updated onboarding training materials for staff. The presenter said the contractor could correct parcel‑related records, update documents and provide training; commissioners asked for a final, signable version of the resolution and an implementation plan copy to be circulated for signatures.
Commissioners discussed administrative details including the surveyor name and signature placement and asked staff to update the final documents in the next two weeks. A motion to adopt the resolution and approve the implementation plan passed by voice vote.
The county directed staff to file the signed resolution and to proceed with the plan’s implementation steps, with further administrative follow‑up to ensure corrected documents are published and training materials distributed.
