As a result of its investigation, including its inspection of the hotel, the Department identified several features, elements, and spaces of the Champaign Days Inn which failed to comply with the ADA's Standards for Accessible Design, 28 C.F.R. Part 36, Appendix A ("the Standards"). A list of these features, elements, and spaces is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. 4.

The specific actions to be taken and, where appropriate, the architectural plans to be followed by the defendants are set forth in Exhibit 2 and in the architectural plans attached to Exhibit 2, prepared by Pape, dated May 24, 1996, consisting of Sheets A-4, A-5, A-8, A-9, and E-1. The division of responsibility between P&P and Pape for compliance herewith is set forth in the Settlement Agreement between P&P and Pape, attached as Exhibit 3. The United States is not a party to the Settlement Agreement between P&P and Pape. 11. Not later than December 1, 1996, defendants P&P and Pape shall either provide a joint report or two separate reports to counsel for the United States, on the status of their compliance with this Order.

The Court shall retain jurisdiction of this action to enforce the provisions of this Order through December 31, 1997, after which time all of its provisions shall be terminated, unless the Court determines it is necessary to extend any of its requirements, in which case those requirements shall be extended. 14. This agreement shall govern the compliance of defendants P&P and Pape with the ADA's Standards for Accessible Design at the Champaign Days Inn. This agreement does not address, and shall not be construed to address, any other issues of ADA compliance at the Champaign Days Inn, or at any other commercial facility or place of public accommodation designed and constructed by defendants P&P and Pape, or owned, operated, leased, or leased to the defendants, or any other violations of federal law. It is stipulated and agreed that upon compliance with this Consent Order, P&P and Pape will have taken all remedial actions necessary to resolve the allegations against them contained in the complaint filed by the United States. 15. Defendants P&P and Pape recognize that, to the extent required by law, they must comply with the ADA Standards in any future involvement by either of them in the design and construction of a public accommodation or commercial facility.
