INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
| To: | Scott C. Stiles
| From: | William E. Murray
| | Dept.: | City Manager
| Dept.: | Public Works
| | Subject: | Adoption of the Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan. (Action Item) | Date: | 4/13/2021 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To provide City Council with a final draft of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Evaluation, and Transition Plan for review and adoption. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
In 2018, the Public Works Facilities Division contracted with EMG/Bureau Veritas to provide the City with an ADA evaluation and transition plan that after completion, would ensure that the City complies with all aspects of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as state and local accessibility regulations. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
This comprehensive ADA evaluation included all city-owned public buildings, parking lots, surrounding sidewalks, and entryways, as well as the City’s programs and policies. The evaluation findings were measured against current accessibility requirements. A list of accessibility barriers were summarized, prioritized and added to the Transition Plan. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The ADA Transition Plan provides estimated costs of barrier removal at current pricing levels. However, costs are likely to increase with time. All barrier removal projects will be reviewed and approved through the budget process.
|
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council:
- Review, approve and adopt the ADA Facilities Evaluation, and Transition Plan.
