Greetings

Initial plans are underway to offer a combination mobile restaurant

and sight-seeing tour whereby participants can enjoy a three course
meal while taking a 2 or 3 hour bus trip of Fort Wayne and the
immediate area.

Before progressing any further I need to know what the governments'

ruling (both State and Federal) would be regarding my business and
the handicap.

If a chairlift is mandatory, these. consequences will follow:

1. The ridership will be reduced by one-sixth, thus losing

$180 to $200 of income per trip unless there is handicap ridership,
which would not be the case most of the time.

2. The chairlift itself would be an added expense.

3. The chairlift itself can never be made "noise proof" or

invisible. Thus, distracting the view for other tourists and
disturbing the presentation by the "rattles" a chairlift creates.

4. Another vehicle mast be purchased, since my buses do not

have chairlift access doors.

Therefore, if chairlifts must be demanded for this enterprise,

this business, related ministry, etc. will be forced to dissolve.

I am not opposed to serving the handicap, but prefer to provide a

separate vehicle for such individuals at a later time after
determining the success of the adventure.
Would appreciate a written, legal, documental ruling regarding
this request as soon as possible, since any further action is
contingent upon this factor.

Yours truly,

Thomas Mohr, President/owner
