BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted the ADA Transition Plan on July 21, 1992
and approved $10000,000 for Year One implementation. The Transi-
tion Plan addressed needed structural remedies by type correction
(curb ramps, doors, parking lots, signage, bathrooms, etc. ) by
department and by facility for each of three years.
Adoption of the Transition Plan by July 26, 1992 satisfied the
federal requirement and deadline for creating a plan to address
structural changes.
The Self Evaluation Plan is the next plan due for adoption. It is
a mandated review by local governments of programs, practices and
policies for removal of barriers to participation by persons with
disabilities.
The attached Self Evaluation Plan discusses the review of programs
performed by the disability community and City staff over the last
year. It also addresses policy and procedural changes, alteration
of our employment processes, staff training, contracts and leases
