WHEREAS, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that public agencies

individuals with disabilities in the City's programs, policies, procedures and facilities, and to
adopt a Transition Plan to remove those barriers; and

Plan needs to be updated; and

full participation of individuals with disabilities in City programs, policies procedures and
facilities and proposed a Transition Plan that phased in barrier removal over the next 10 years;
and
WHEREAS, the City conducted substantial outreach to the community to solicit input on
both the identification of barriers and the proposed schedule of removal of those barriers, and has
incorporated that input into the final Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan; and
WHEREAS, many of the barriers identified in the Plan will be removed as part of
ongoing CIP projects, divestment of real properties, moving programs to accessible facilities,

WHEREAS, the City reserves the right to modify the schedule of barrier removal to
reflect fiscal and operational needs, and will incorporate the costs of barrier removal into the
