Re: File No. X
    ADA Complaint Against the City of Scottsdale

Dear Mr. Osborn:

This letter officially resolves the complaint that
filed with the United States Department of Justice,
Civil Rights Division, alleging a violation of title II of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) against the City of
Scottsdale. We apologize for the delay in formally resolving
this complaint.

In his complaint, Mr.          alleged that the City Hall,
Justice Building and City Library lacked appropriate braille
signage to allow blind individuals to use those facilities and to
access public services located in those facilities. By letter
dated April 19, 1996, this Office referred the allegations
relating to the City Library to the U.S. Department of Education.
The City of Scottsdale's recent actions of installing braille
signage throughout the City Hall and the Justice Building resolve
the remaining allegations before the Department of Justice.

Should you have any questions, you can contact me at the
United States Department of Justice, Disability Rights Section,
P.O. Box 66738, Washington, DC 20035-6738 or by fax at (202) 616-
5509. Thank you for your cooperation.

                                             Sincerely,
                                         
                                           Kirk M. Flagg
