I strongl}' urgz that a prompt dzcision bz madz on thz provision of rzal-tinx captioning
for Count} Council and Conunittzz tzkviszd nxztings. I bzlizcz that thz benefits and thz lzgal
nzzd for this accommodation havz bzzn amph' dzmonstratzd in thz past months of discussion.
~s I undzrstand it. thz onl}~ altzrnativz to providing this captioning is to stop tzlzrisiug
Council meztings. I hope eon kill agrzz that that is an unacceptable alternati~~z. Alanv of us are
able to sta} in touch l~~ith the actions ofthe Council and our Reprzseutaticzs ouk though the
tzlzviszd mzztings.
Pleasz movz for~~ard on thz rzal-time captioning issuz in }'our Dzcembzr 1-I Financz
Counnittee meeting.
Thank von.
