AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES TRANSITION PLAN 2008

i& CITY OF PLEASANTON Page 2 of 12 ; TRANSITION PLAN July 28, 2004 Updated February 1, 2008 ADA REQUIREMENTS In accordance with Title II of the ADA, a public entity may not deny the benefits of its programs, activities, or services to individuals with disabilities, except where to do so would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the program or undue financial and administrative burdens. This standard, known as "program accessibility" applies to all existing facilities of a public entity. Under this standard, the City of Pleasanton is not required to make all its facilities or every part of a single facility accessible. Notwithstanding this, the City has consistently pursued full accessibility of its buildings and facilities and will continue to address facility modifications as effectively and timely as possible. Program accessibility may be achieved by a number of methods, including but not limited to alteration of existing facilities by removing architectural barriers; relocation of activities or services from an inaccessible location or building; redesign of equipment; assignment of aides to beneficiaries, and the delivery of services at alternate accessible sites. The selected method of providing program access will be prioritized to maximize benefit to the largest number of individuals with disabilities and to assure interaction among all users, including individuals with disabilities. Consistent with ADA requirements this Plan includes: 1. A listing the physical barriers in a public facility that limits the accessibility of its programs, activities, or services to individuals with disabilities. (Appendix A) 2, A description of the priorities that will be used to remove the barriers. (Page 10) 3. The schedule for taking the necessary steps to comply with Title II of the ADA and the interim steps that will be taken until such time as full compliance can be achieved. (Page 11) 4. Identification of the official responsible for implementing the Transition Plan. (Page 9) 5. Identification of the persons or groups who were provided opportunity to comment on the Plan. (Appendix B) The removal of all barriers in the Plan will be completed as expeditiously as possible. In addition, the City will conduct a public hearing so that interested persons, including individuals with disabilities or organizations representing individuals with disabilities, are provided with the opportunity to comment on the Transition Plan. Thereafter, the Plan will be made available for public inspection.
