Redlands Chamber to lobby for support of legislation to “fix it” and comply with ADA

/in /by

Senator Bob Dutton has vowed once again to introduce into legislation a “fix it” bill that would allow business owners a reasonable amount of time to fix an
ADA violation before a lawsuit can be filed, protecting both the small business owner and the disabled community. The attacks on small business continue and are rampant throughout the State with the demands for payoffs ever increasing for non compliant infractions.

While Senator Dutton proposed emergency legislation in June through Senate Bill 783 in an effort to put a stop to what amounts to legal extortion, it unfortunately failed following party lines. Immediately following the defeat the Senator promised to bring back the effort in then next session and again asked the Redlands Chamber to sponsor the new bill.

This time there will sufficient time to mount a campaign to make everyone aware of the non partisan issue that has enormous impact on the business community not only in Redlands but throughout the State.

The new bill will protect the small businesses and preserve the rights of disabled persons who patronize those businesses. The intent of the legislation will be to stop unscrupulous attorneys, using the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), from extorting money from businesses for what amounts to minor violations. The bill will allow property owner and business owner a specific number of days to “fix” the notified ADA violation before a lawsuit can be filed. If the violation(s) is not fixed within the allotted time, a lawsuit may then be filed.

The Redlands Chamber will lead the charge in the campaign that will educate the Senators reviewing the bill. We will need your help to convince them that supporting the bill is a smart business decision for all of us so when you hear the call please respond by sending letters and making phone calls.

The bill has not yet been reviewed by legal or assigned a number. As soon as it has been
introduced we will notify you and ask for your help and support in letter writing and phone calls to those that need the most convincing that this is good for the our businesses and the State of California.

Redlands to propose Sign Code Amendmen

/in /by

The Redlands Chamber of Commerce will ask the City Council to consider an amendment to the Sign Code that will allow businesses outside the downtown business arena for the opportunity to use A-frame signs. The current code does not allow businesses to use A-frame structures if located outside the geographic confines of the Downtown Business District.

During these extremely difficult economic times businesses are reinventing, recreating new and innovative ways to find new customers and clients and many are looking for unique and distinctive advertising opportunities. While A-frames have been banned in commercial areas outside of downtown many businesses have opted for using them attempting lure customers in, but have found themselves on the wrong side of the law and have been cited by code enforcement and forced to remove the violating sign.

While amendments have been suggested they come at enormous cost to the individual so the Chamber is seeking an Ordinance Text Amendment that would allow A-frame signs to be used by businesses that are not currently permitted to do so.

Size, construction and placement will all be considered in the amended language to minimize clutter and still allow businesses to advertise appropriately.

The amendment will be processed through the Planning Commission then on to City Council with adequate time for public input. With smooth sailing the amendment could be approved as early as the first of the year, 2012. Watch for updates on the website and via email and if needed be prepared to lobby council for quick and equitable action on behalf of all the businesses of Redlands.
