The 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design set minimum requirements for facilities to be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. The one year grace period, for mandatory compliance, was up March 15, 2012.
Were you aware that the Burning Tree Master Association board of directors in Tulsa, Oklahoma has chosen to ignore the Department of Justice mandate regarding ADA compliance for Homeowners Associations?
The Burning Tree Master Association president stated in Aug 2011 that she was aware of the ADA guidelines.
UPDATE: On March 15, 2012, Attorney General Eric Holder signed a final rule extending the date for compliance with sections 242* and 1009** of the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design as it relates to the provision of accessible entry and exit into existing swimming pools, wading pools, and spas until May 21, 2012. (Accessible entry and exit consists of pool lifts, sloped entries, transfer walls, transfer systems, and pool stairs.)
* 242 Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, and Spas
** 1009 Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, and Spas
ADA Compliance – Burning Tree Master Association Facilities – Tulsa, OK
Click on link or on picture to WATCH THE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!IMPORTANT: The DOJ confirmed that the 60 day extension was only in regards to sections 242 and 1009 of the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design as it relates to the provision of accessible entry and exit to get into and out of the swimming pool and wading pool. The DOJ advised that this extension has nothing to do with access to the facility to get to the pool. That and all other requirements to become ADA compliant were required to be completed by the March 15, 2012 grace period. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Be sure to look at these:
- Areas the Department of Justice has mandated be in compliance by March 15, 2012. NO EXCEPTIONS (These did not get the 60 day extension.)
- Also required by Federal law to be done by May 28, 2012
ADA Title VIII federal anti-discrimination laws not
only protects those who have suffered discrimination, it also protects
those who alert the DOJ to acts of discrimination. The DOJ does not tolerate
any type of retaliation against those who report claims of unlawful
discrimination or for assisting in the investigation of such a charge.

ReplyDeleteBe sure you read the comments below this video that "bluesman619" made. So click on his "handle" and it will take you to his channel. There you will see what he titled "tube slide stunt part 2" or else go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmqWTEwHzWo&feature=plcp and there you have who it was. The entire world can easily see who this person is who made this unkind and immature remark. It isn't hard to make a screenshot with his face.
P.S. if you look at some of the other links in his channel you will see that he is a lifeguard at Burning Tree Pool.
RandyTheMaster1 also made a horrible comment. When you when you click on his link it goes to his channel and one of his videos was on bullying. You all must see this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hbd0v1Wgqg&list=UU86RtEqR-NWpYQCAP8ZLG_g&index=1&feature=plcp and it shows right where he was when he filmed it.
