The Physical Accessibility Checklist from Madison, Wisconsin and a model guidebook from Ann Arbor, Michigan, (both of which we propose to adopt) will be distributed at the meeting scheduled for 12 : 00 Tuesday, July 20, 1993, Second Floor Conference Room, City Hall . The subject of the meeting will be a final review of the Self- Evaluation of Programmatic Accessibility and the form for the Transition Plan. Thank you for your participation. i�Printed on Recycled Paper An Equal Opportunity Employer with an Affirmative Action Program" I July 28, 1993 Dear Department Head Your assistance is requested in order to determine the current level of accessibility offered by the City to people with disabilities . We need your input in order to fully evaluate what is and what is not accessible about the City's interaction with the public and its own employees . The City undertook a similar evaluation in 1986 to comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 . The present evaluation is being undertaken to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, (ADA) . Revaluation is necessary because the previous evaluation is outdated and because questions have been raised about its adequacy. The most crucial reason for undertaking the present evaluation, however, is to better serve our constituency. Over % of Ithaca's residents have SdvAr- disability. It is important that elected and appointed officials City staff and outside organization that receiQi- Rj- significant City assistance learn how to respectfully include residents with disabilities in all programs, services and activities . Enclosed you will find a Self Evaluation of Programmatic Accessibility, a Physical Accessibility Checklist and a Transition Plan. The Self Evaluation of Programmatic Accessibility assesses every department program and policy to ensure that services, activities, and benefits are equally available to persons with and without disabilities . The Self Evaluation of Programmatic Accessibility is organized into six sections as follows : General Requirements, Program Acce4bility - Recruitment and Advertising, Program Accessibility - Admission Requirements, Program Accessibility - Participation, Communications, Contracts . The Physical Accessibility Checklist contains sufficient detail to enable evaluation of access to and within all City facilities and the facilities of organizations receiving significant assistance. The Transition Plan will be used to prioritize and budget actions necessary to remediate discriminatory barriers - both programmatic and physical . All the necessary changes must be made by January 26, 1995 . In order to comply with the ADA, it is therefore important that all discrimination be recorded in the Transition Plan. Department heads, those with the budgetary authority and responsibility for making spending decisions, are responsible for their department's compliance. As a result, it is the department heads who are being asked to complete the evaluation form. Input from other staff, program recipients with disabilities and other interested parties is, however, highly recommended. We assume that much of this information will be unfamiliar. The survey is intended, in part, as an educational tool - an introduction to accessibility issues . Once the form has been completed we will follow up with an interview to clarify and elaborate on responses . A public hearing will be scheduled once the Transition Plan is complete. Requirements Under the Law The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) states that no qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be excluded from participation in or denied the benefits of services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by such entity. We are looking for information about all interaction the City of Ithaca has with the public. ADA regulations define a °qualified individual with a disability" as an individual with a disability who, with or without reasonable modifications to rules, policies or practices; the removal of architectural, communication, or transportation barriers; or the provision of auxiliary aids and services, meets the essential eligibility requirements for the receipt of services or the participation in programs . Each program, service, or activity, when viewed in its entirety, must be readily accessible to persons with disabilities . This means that if the Physical Accessibility Checklist reveals that some department facilities are inaccessible, structural changes in existing facilities are not necessarily required if other effective method for achieving compliance can be provided. Alternate methods may include reassignment of services to accessible buildings. delivery of services at alternate accessible sites, home visits, redesign of equipment, provision of aides, or any other methods that result in making services, programs, or activities readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. Even if department facilities are structurally accessible, there may be other barriers to accessibility for persons with disabilities, such as policies, communication problems, lack of staff training about how to provide services . Remedies may include provision of qualified interpreters, notetakers, transcription services, written materials, telephone headset amplifiers, assistive listening devices, TDD's, readers, taped texts, audio recordings, Braille materials, large print materials, modification of equipment and other similar services and actions . A department head will not be required to take any remedial action that can be demonstrated to result a fundamental alteration in the nature of a service, program, or activity, or in undue financial and administrative burdens . The department must, however, take steps necessary to ensure that individuals with disabilities receive equal treatment in an integrated setting. The ADA requires a public entity to keep the self-evaluation information on file for three years and make it available for public inspection, including a description of any modifications made. The regulations also require that individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to participate in the self-evaluation process . This will be met by the City' s Disabilities Advisory Council, (DAC) . The DAC will be reviewing the results of the self-evaluations completed by each department head. Completion of the evaluation form may take between and hours . The follow-up interview will take from to hours . You will receive a call to schedule the interview during the first week in August . Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, Leslie A. Chatterton ADA Coordinator Jessica Skintges Consultant C. PHYSICAL/PROGRAMMATIC TRANSITION PLAN Introduction The Affirmative Action Office will work with your agency on an ongoing basis to maintain and improve upon the strategies to comply with MGO 3.72 which your agency has delineated within this Physical/Programmatic Transition Plan.

It does not establish legal obligations or ensure compliance with governing law. It is City policy to make City facilities as accessible as possible for all citizens. The City of Madison Department of Planning and Development has prepared this checklist to assist City staff to plan for accessibility. It is hoped that other members of the community that are involved in construction projects, such as architects, engineers, designers, landscape designers, interior designers, builders and contractors will embrace the City's policy of making facilities as accessible as possible and will apply the elements of this checklist as fully as possible. The checklist divides standards into those which are "required" and those which are "desirable." "Required" means that applicable codes require this standard for City facilities and recipients of City financial assistance— ,W-e_a.- licable codes are inconsistent, the check-1.is.tr-regvfifes the standard pp oviding the greatest accessibility. applicable codes see ILHR Zr 4, and Americans With Disabilities Act ` Accessibility Guidelines. "Desirable" means that it is City of Madison policy to achieve this standard, unless circumstances make it infeasible to do so. Desirable standards will be applied to City facilities and recipients of City financial assistance to the fullest extent possible. _-C-ity—faci-lit"ies and recipients of Ci y ial assistance are governed by Section 3.72, Madison General Ordinances, , dopted in December, 1990. Copies can be—obtained from the- City Clerk. "Covered multifamily dwellings" defined at Section 804(f)(3)(C) of the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (42 U.S.C. Section 3604) are governed by 24 CFR Chapter 1. "Public Accommodations," defined in Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and will be governed by similar regulations after January 26, 1992.
