Committee highlights web-accessibility upgrades and identifies communications contact for ADA posts
Summary
Members discussed social-media outreach and web accessibility; acting chair named Jen McNair as the director of communications and said the city subscribed to a vendor to improve PDF accessibility to meet federal standards.
A committee member (Sue) asked whether there is public-facing social media the committee can use for ADA Awareness Month and who approves content. Acting chair Bill named Jen McNair as the director of communications and said members are welcome to contact her directly to coordinate posts; he encouraged coordination with the mayor's office so content is compliant.
Bill also reported the city subscribed to a vendor to improve web accessibility and that PDFs on the city's site now offer a right-hand accessibility tool. He said the changes were made to meet new federal compliance requirements and to improve mobile readability, noting the city met an April compliance deadline in the previous year.
