Board flags website ADA compliance; agrees to keep maps and exhibits online
Summary
Members discussed the town website's accessibility requirements and whether to continue directing readers there for maps and exhibits; staff reported contacting ADA guidance and the group decided the website is the best place for dynamic materials while compliance work proceeds.
Members raised accessibility and ADA-compliance concerns about the town website. S6 said they had contacted ADA guidance and reminded members that the site may need updates to meet accessibility requirements, but that directing readers to the website remains the most practical way to host dynamic exhibits and maps for the plan. "I actually contacted the ADA to see," S6 said during the discussion.
The board discussed potential technical fixes (widgets, font size, screen readers) and concluded the site should remain the primary repository for maps and exhibits; staff will follow up on compliance questions and report back with options for improving accessibility.
