       Re: Department of Justice Complaint Number  XX

Dear Mr.  XX

     Enclosed is a copy of the executed settlement agreement
between the government of the City of Fargo, North Dakota, the
FARGODOME, and the Department of Justice. This settlement
resolves your complaint with our office alleging that the City of
Fargo and the FARGODOME are in noncompliance with title II of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

     Specifically, you alleged that the FARGODGME, a sports
stadium and general entertainment facility, owned and operated by
the City of Fargo, North Dakota, had failed to adopt a ticket
pricing policy providing for equivalent prices for tickets to
events for individuals with disabilities requiring special
seating as compared to others who attend such events. In
addition, you asserted that the city had failed to appoint an ADA
coordinator for its sports facility, did not have a grievance
procedure, and had not conducted a self-evaluation of the
facility's policies and practices to determine whether they
comported with the requirements of the ADA.

     Under the terms of the settlement, city and FARGODOME
officials agreed to adopt a formal ticket pricing policy that
provides for equivalent tickets prices for individuals with
disabilities needing special seating to attend events in the
facility as compared to the prices charged to others. The city
agreed to publicize its new policy through dissemination of
notices to the public and local newspapers. The city also
agreed to appoint an ADA coordinator for the FARGODOME, develop
grievance procedures, and conduct a self-evaluation.

     By this letter, we are closing the investigation of your
complaint. We will be monitoring, however, the compliance by the
city and the FARGODOME with this agreement. We appreciate your
cooperation in the course of our investigation,
