ADA Transition Plan 2 November 15, 2010 Finally, staff determined a schedule of when all of the modifications will occur. The City is allowed to do the modifications incrementally, with each reasonable increment period being three years. Starting modifications in FY 2012, the Plan projects 15 years (FY 2012 through 2026) to bring all public use areas of City facilities into compliance. As an example, as listed in the attached Facility Summary Costs and Modification Schedule in the attached Executive Summary, the Main Library, Marina Community Center, City Hall South Offices, Police Department, City Hall, Washington Manor Library, and Marina Park will be the facilities targeted for ADA modifications in the first three -year period (FY 2012 - 2014). The Plan does not take into consideration Capital Improvement Projects that could remedy the accessibility issues in a facility in advance of the Plan's schedule. For example, the Recreation and Human Services Department is seeking Proposition 84 grant funding for a major renovation to Siempre Verde Park. Staff expects to hear in the coming weeks if that grant is approved. If the renovation takes place, Siempre Verde Park will be brought fully into ADA compliance with that project, the park would come off of the ADA Transition Plan schedule, and another facility conceivably could be moved up in the Plan. Likewise, the Plan does not take into consideration all of the renovations that would occur should the Shoreline -Marina Master Plan come to fruition. At this time, the financial viability of the boat harbor is unknown, and it is anticipated that a decision will be made next Fiscal Year regarding its viability. Staff will review and update the new Plan annually. Current City Council Policy The City's current ADA Transition Plan was adopted by Minute Order 95 -03. City Council Committee Review and Action This information was presented to the City Council Facilities and Transportation Committee on October 12, 2010, and the Committee's recommendation was to bring it forward to the full City Council for adoption. Summary of Public Outreach Efforts The drafted Plan, plus a copy of the survey of all of the City's facilities where public services and programs are offered, have been mailed or e- mailed to 28 agencies in the area which provide services to the disability community, welcoming their review and comment. Additionally, the drafted Plan and Survey were placed on the City's website, and an advertisement was placed in the San Leandro Times, welcoming review and comments for both documents. Comments were requested to be submitted to staff by October 1, and other than two compliments for the City's efforts on the Plan, no other comments were received. Additionally, staff will be working with MIG in the coming months to update the City's Self Evaluation Plan. While an update of the Self Evaluation Plan was not required by FHEO or HUD, staff feels it is prudent to update this document as well. The Self Evaluation Plan was originally written in 1993 and has not been updated since. Additional community outreach will
