Re: Department of Justice Complaint Number 204-6-2
Dear Mr.    (b) (6)

     This letter responds to your complaint filed with our office
under title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
alleging that (1) a ramp designed to provide access to the City
of Fairbanks' Municipal Utilities System Building (MUSB) located
at 645 5th Avenue does not comply with title II of the ADA;  and
(2) the slope of the curb ramp to the sidewalk next to the MUSB
is too steep.  As the attached letter to Mr. Wolting, Fairbanks
City Manager, reflects, we conclude that the city is in
compliance with title II of the ADA with respect to the
allegations you raised.

     This letter and enclosure constitute our Letter of Findings

administrative complaint. If you are dissatisfied with our
determination, you may file a complaint presenting your
allegations of discrimination in an appropriate United States
District Court under title II of the ADA.

be required to release this letter and other correspondence and
records related to this complaint in response to a request from a
