Lack Of Handicapped Access At Town Hall

Recently my husband as a member of the WPCA had a Special meeting at Town Hall instead of the Water Pollution facility which is wheelchair compliant. As you see in the picture my husband could not get up the platform with the wheelchair and had to participate from the floor below. This does not give handicapped persons equal access to participate equally on the town boards and commissions that have meetings in Town Hall Main Meeting Room. How can handicapped persons volunteer for boards and commissions when they don’t have access to the platform for the elected and appointed officials to conduct meetings?
