NOTICE UNDER THE AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)
In 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was established to ensure
inclusive and equal opportunity for persons with disabilities in all aspects of
American life. By breaking down and eliminating barriers, the ADA provides
individuals with disabilities equal opportunity to participate in all aspects of
community life.
The ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. Under the
law, the City of Tempe must ensure that its programs, services and
activities are readily accessible and usable by qualified persons with
disabilities. As a public entity, the city will reasonably modify its
policies, practices and procedures to ensure the full participation of everyone.
Employment: The City does not discriminate on the basis of
disability in its hiring or employment practices and complies with all
regulations promulgated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
under title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Effective Communication: The City will provide appropriate
auxiliary aids and services, including qualified sign language interpreters,
assistive listening devices, and materials in alternate formats, whenever
necessary to ensure effective communication for qualified persons with
disabilities.
Modification to Policies and Procedures: The City will make all
reasonable modifications to policies and programs to ensure that people with
disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy all programs, services, and
activities.
Requests for the above accommodations should
be made as soon as possible to City staff in the appropriate department.
Complaints that a City program, service, or activity is not accessible to
persons with disabilities should be directed to the City's ADA Compliance
Specialist Karl Stephens at (480) 350-2704.
