• Assignment of aides; and /or • Providing services at alternate accessible sites. When choosing a method of providing program access, the City will give priority to the one that results in the most integrated setting appropriate to encourage interaction among all users, including individuals with disabilities. In compliance with the requirements of the ADA, the City must provide equality of opportunity, but does not guarantee equality of results. Undue Burden The City is not required to take any action that it can demonstrate would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of its program or activity, would create a hazardous condition resulting in a direct threat to the participant or others, or would represent an undue financial and administrative burden. The determination that an undue burden would result must be based on an evaluation of all resources available for use in the City. For example, if a barrier removal action is judged unduly burdensome, the City must consider other options for providing access to the benefits and services of the program or activity by individuals with disabilities. Policies & Programmatic Accessibility Findings & Actions Programs, activities and services offered by the City of San Leandro to the public must be accessible. Accessibility applies to all aspects of a program or service, including advertisement, orientation, eligibility, participation, testing or evaluation, physical access, provision of auxiliary aids, transportation, policies, and communication. Every department in the City participated in a survey to determine departmental knowledge regarding reasonable accommodation policies and programmatic accessibility. The full results of those summaries can be found in the full Self Evaluation & Transition Plan Update. This section summarizes the review of current City -wide policies, services, programs, and activities based on meetings with City staff and responses to the program accessibility questionnaire from the following departments and divisions: • City Manager's Office • Community Development • Engineering & Transportation • Finance • Human Resources Division • Police Department • Public Library • Public Works Page 4
