This was done in 2010 and adopted by Minute Order <br />2010 -042. Staff further agreed to update the City's Self- Evaluation Plan. Both plans have <br />been consolidated into one document and are ready for adoption by the City Council. <br />Analysis <br />While the City's ADA Transition Plan addresses the City's facilities and removal of barriers to <br />disabled individuals to provide them full access to public facilities, the Self- Evaluation Plan <br />reviewed the City's Programs and Services to ensure that all programs and services are fully <br />accessible. <br />With the assistance of the consulting firm of Moore, lacofano and Goltsman (MIG), each <br />department completed a review of its operations to be sure that all programs, services, <br />meetings and events are fully accessible to all members of the community.
