ADA Advisory Group

Purpose

The City formed an ADA Advisory Group including local citizens who are members of the disability community or who work closely with persons with disabilities to advise City staff throughout the ADA Transition Plan process. At least 51% of the ADA Advisory Group was made up of individuals living with a disability as defined by the ADA including hearing impairment, intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, mobility impairment and vision impairment.  While the formal work of the Advisory Group is complete, the City will continue to include the former members as they are available in the Annual Plan Updates.

The intended goals and responsibilities of the ADA Advisory Group include:

• Provided advice, identify accessibility barriers and recommend accessibility improvements to new and existing City programs, services and facilities as it relates to Title II of the ADA.
• Developed relationships with other local organizations serving individuals with disabilities as identified by the ADA.
• Supported City public engagement efforts for the ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan process including review of engagement tools and materials for accessibility.
• Future support of City staff on ADA Transition Plan implementation and future Plan updates.
• Supported City public engagement efforts for the ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan process including review of engagement tools and materials for accessibility.

The ADA Advisory Group met virtually on a monthly basis during the ADA Transition Plan project timeline (through March 2021). Meeting materials are posted below.
