Merrimac Light asks commission to weigh in on ADA website compliance; demo offered by contractor
Summary
Merrimac Light queried whether it must rebuild its entire website to meet ADA requirements; sparkcreative offered to produce a single-page demo, and the Institute for Human Design has a signed proposal for a formal ADA website review noted by the commission.
At its Feb. 5 meeting the Merrimac Commission on Disability recorded an inquiry from Merrimac Light about whether the utility must rebuild its entire website to meet ADA requirements. The minutes cite an attached email and note that the website team at sparkcreative offered to create a single‑page demo illustrating the impact of required changes.
The minutes also state that the Institute for Human Design has signed a proposal to perform an ADA website review; no additional updates or formal decisions about required work or funding appeared in the Feb. 5 minutes. Commission records list the Institute for Human Design proposal among Old Business but record no substantive follow-through within this meeting.
Commissioners did not take a formal vote on website remediation at the Feb. 5 meeting. The notes indicate the commission will continue to track the proposal and review any demo materials provided by sparkcreative or findings from the Institute for Human Design at a future meeting.
