County adopts Recite Me tool as stop-gap to make 7,500+ PDFs accessible
Summary
Chief of Staff Chris Cloud said over 7,500 PDF files on the county website are not accessible; the board approved an agreement with Recite Me NA LLC as a stop-gap to make PDFs accessible while a long-term solution is adopted.
Chief of Staff Chris Cloud told the board that while the county website is largely compliant with accessibility requirements, more than 7,500 PDF files remain inaccessible. He presented an agreement with Recite Me NA LLC to open PDFs in an accessible format as a stop-gap measure while a long-term solution is implemented to meet a 2024 Department of Justice accessibility requirement.
Commissioner Ronald W. Turpin moved approval of the agreement and Commissioner Therese M. Brown seconded; the board approved the Recite Me agreement 3-0. Cloud described the contract as a temporary compliance measure; the county intends to adopt a long-term solution later.
