ARTICLE 2 REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION POLICY FOR CITY SERVICES, PROGRAMS, FACILITIES,AND EVENTS §2.5.200: REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION POLICY. It is the policy of the City of San Leandro to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the comprehensive civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination against persons with dis- abilities. Under the ADA and FEHA, persons with disabilities must have equal access to all City services, programs, events, facilities and public meetings that are available to individuals without disabilities through a reasonable accommodation. (a) Services, Programs, Events, Activities, Facilities and Public Meetings. In all of its ser- vices, programs, events, activities, facilities and public meetings, the City of San Leandro will strive to eliminate any barriers that prohibit persons with disabilities from participating in those services, programs, events or activities, or from having full access to facilities. This will not preclude the City, however, from adopting legitimate safety requirements necessary for safe operation based on identified risks. If a service, program, event or activity is not fully accessible, the City will, to the best of its ability, relocate said service, program, event or activity to an accessible facility, or provide equal services at alternate accessible sites. A request for special accommodation for a service, program, event or activity must be made to the ADA Coordinator by the individual needing the accommodation or his/her representa- tive with at least two (2) weeks advance notice of the service, program, event or activity. (b) Public Meetings. Department Responsible for Revision: City Manager Chapter 2.5 09/20/2010 Page 1
