SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE THE CITY OF DOWNEY ADA SELF-EVALUATION AND
TRANSITION PLAN AND DIRECT AN ANNUAL REVIEW AND UPDATE
. 0 1 : I
That the City Council:
1) Receive and file the City of Downey ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan; and
2) Direct Public Works staff to perform an annual review and update of the Transition Plan.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires public agencies to perform a self-evaluation
of infrastructure, programs and activities, and develop a plan for bringing infrastructure into
compliance with the ADA. Over two years ago, the City began working on an ADA program
which included the development of a self-evaluation and transition plan that will bring city
infrastructure into compliance with the ADA based on a schedule established by the City..
The inspections of city facilities and public rights-of-way ("self-evaluation process") was
conducted by the City's consultant, Disability Access Consultants (DAC). From those
inspections, DAC created a transition plan by inputting the results of these inspections including
information regarding the type of ADA upgrades and repairs, their location, photographs of the
areas, and the date wherein the repairs are estimated to be repaired. The software will be
utilized and accessible to city Public Works staff to assist in tracking ADA repairs and upgrades
and will allow Public Works staff to update the transition plan as needed,
As part of the transition plan development, in July 2016, the City reached out to residents and
organizations serving the needs of persons with disabilities for input on how the City can best
serve the needs of persons with disabilities. After the self-evaluation and transition plan was
completed, the transition plan, an executive summary of the plan, and a curb ramp schedule
was made available for public review on the City's website and at City Hall, the Downey City
Library and the Barbara J. Riley Center since November 3, 2017.
Because improvements occur continuously throughout the year according to the long-range
adopted Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Plan, the Council is asked to direct staff to annually
review and update the transition plan to ensure the plan remains relevant and realistic.
There other notable ADA processes that have been instituted, which include:
The appointment of a City ADA Coordinator to address city -related ADA matters
with a dedicated ADA Coordinator email address and telephone line for
questions or concerns related to ADA matters;

City of Downey ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Update
Purpose of the +Cit of Do
wne ADA504 Self-evaluation and Transition Plan
The purpose of the City of Downey Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II and Section 504 -Self-
evaluation is to document the results of the City of Downey's review of access to programs, services,
activities, events, facilities,- parks, and public rights-of-way by individuals with disabilities in order to
determine if any discriminatory or potentially discriminatory practices, policies or procedures exist. This
report contains findings and recommendations based on the review of the City of Downey.
As evidenced by this study and update, the City of Downey iscommittedto complying with the tenets of
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (504), and other
federal, state statutes and regulations to provide accessible for persons with disabilities.-- The update
further serves to demonstrate the ongoing compliance efforts by the City.
The City of Downey contracted with Disability Access Consultants (DAC) to conduct a review of City
buildings and parks, and public rights-of-way to update the City of Downey ADA Self-evaluation and
Transition Plan in accordance of Title 11 of the ADA. The study includes accessibility requirements for the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II, Title 24 of the California Building Code, Caltrans requirements,
California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD) and the Public Right -of -Way Accessibility
Guidelines (PROWAG).
The City of Downey has demonstrated a commitment from the highest level of leadership with coordination
of compliance activities and involvement of persons with disabilities and methodologies for compliance
procedures. As evidenced in the ADA/504 Report, the City of Downey understands that the ADA/504
Compliance Plan is not a static document, but requires ongoing implementation and periodic updates.
Background
The ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act requires state and local governments, such as city and
county governments (referred to as public entities in this document) to ensure that their facilities, public
rights -of -ways, policies, procedures and practices are accessible and do not discriminate.
In addition to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 program plays an important role to ensure that pedestrians with
disabilities have an equal opportunity to use the transportation system in an accessible and safe manner.
As part of FHWA's regulatory responsibility under Title Il of the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 (504), the FHWA is required to ensure that recipients of Federal aid and State and local entities
that are responsible for roadways and pedestrian facilities do not discriminate on the basis of disability in
any highway transportation program, activity, service or benefit they provide to the general public; and to
ensurethat people with disabilities have equitable opportunities to use the public rights-of-way system.
Furthermore, laws and regulations require accessible planning,- design, and construction to integrate
persons with disabilities and that the public entity does not discriminate.
As Caltrans is a -recipient of federal funds and cities, counties and other public entities are subrecipients of
the flow through funding, public entities are required to demonstrate their compliance with the ADA and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. A component of the requests is the development of a comprehensive
ADA/504 Self-evaluation and Transition Plan.
Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act (Public Law 93-112) prohibits discrimination on the basis of
disability in federally assisted programs. Section 504 requirements for USDOT administrations are covered
under 49 CFR Part 27 (USDOT), Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Programs and Activities
Receiving or Benefiting from Financial Assistance. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA, 1990, Public
Law 101-336) is a broader civil rights statute that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has rulemaking authority and enforcement responsibility for Title ll, while
USDOT is legally obligated to implement compliance procedures relating to transportation, including those
Page 11
City of Downey ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Update
for highways, streets, and traffic management. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Civil
Rights oversees the DOT requirements in these areas.
In order to ensure compliance, Caltrans conducts reviews to ensure that:
• FHWA'recipient s and subrecipients are informed of their responsibilities to provide accessibility in their
programs, activities, facilities and public rights-of-way
• Recipients and subrecipients are in compliance with the ADA and Section 504
• Recipients and subrecipients are applying appropriate accessibility standards to all public rights-of-way
and transportation facilities
• All complaints filed under Section 504 or the ADA- are processed in accordance with established
complaint procedures
Prior ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plans
The 2016-2017 study conducted by Disability Access Consultants updates and/or augments selected
accessibility surveys and studies that were conducted previously.
Dates, of Self -Evaluation and Transition Plans
The ADA self-evaluation and transition/barrier removal plans were prepared using information and input
during 2016 and 2017. As the City understands the commitment for regular updates and annual reports,
the City will continue to update its plan on a regular basis.
ADA Self-evaluation and Transition Plan
To further the City's commitment to provide programs, services and activities in a nondiscriminatory
manner for individuals with disabilities, the City decided to conduct an updated Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) and Section 504 Self-evaluation of programs, services, activities, parks and facilities.
The updated ADA/504 Self-evaluation provides a current benchmark for accessibility efforts by the City and
provides an updated framework for implementation. The current study also incorporates recent updates in
the ADA, California Building Code, Caltrans and accessibility trends. -
The Self-evaluation of policies, procedures and activities was conducted in 2016-2017 under the direction
of Shannon DeLong, Assistant to the City Manager for the City of Downey. Disability Access Consultants
(DAC) was contracted to conduct a comprehensive survey of all City buildings, parks, parking lots and public
rights-of-way. The goal of the City is that all potential physical and programmatic barriers for accessibility
are identified and removed.
Re alar Self -Evaluation tJ dates
The City understands that the ADA/504 plan is a living, on-going document and requires regular updates to
keep it current. In its continuing efforts to maintain compliance, the City has several mechanisms in place
to provide for an ongoing update of the Self-evaluation. The City's designated ADA/504 Coordinator is
empowered with oversight responsibility for implementation of the requirements of the ADA, Section 504
and related accessibility standards and regulation. The City also has the use of web based accessibility
management software called DACTrak to document and track the findings and the implementation of the
plan, including progress reports.
Although the City actively solicited comments and surveys of programs, services and activities from City
staff, community organizations and members of the public in August and September of 2016, it is
anticipated that additional comments and input may be received.
As public input is important to develop and prioritize the plan, the City conducted extensive public outreach
and as describedinthe public outreach portion of this document. It is recognized that input from
stakeholders is a valuable component of an updated, usable and realistic plan.
Page 12
City of Downey ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Update
Updates may also be necessitated by changes in the ADA, the California Building Code, PROWAG or
MUTCD. An example is the court case regarding on -street parking. Another example is the FHWA and
memorandum clarifying what is maintenance and what is an alteration.
Classification of the City of,Down
The City of Downey is classified as a "public entity" pursuant to Title 11 of the Americans with Disabilities Act
which applies to state and local governments. A public entity covered by Title II is defined as:
1) Any State or local government;
2) Any department, agency, special purpose district, or other instrumentality of State or local
government; or
3) Certain commuter authorities as well as AMTRAK.
As defined, the term "public entity" does not include the Federal Government. Title Il, therefore, does not
apply to the Federal Government, which is covered by sections 501 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973. Title Il is intended to apply to all programs, activities, and services provided or operated by State and
local governments. As Section 504 of the RehabilitationActapplies to programs or activities receiving
Federal financial assistance, the City understands that compliance with Section 504 is required.
Title Il of the ADA covers programs, -activities, -and services of public entities. Title Il is divided into two
subtitles. This study focuses on subtitle A of Title II, which is implemented by the Department of Justice's
Title II regulation. Subtitle B, covering public transportation, and the Department of Transportation's
regulation implementing that subtitle, are not addressed in this study. The City did, however survey and
incorporate findings from City owned and maintained public rights-of-way. In accordance with the ADA and
Section 504, public rights-of-way are considered programs, services and activities of the public entity.
Subtitle A, the focus of the City of Downey self-evaluation, is intended to protect qualified individuals with
disabilities from discrimination on the basis of disability in the services, programs, or activities of all State
and local governments. It additionally extends the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of disability
established by section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, to all activities of State and local
governments, including those that do not receive Federal financial assistance. Bylaw, the Department of
Justice's Title11regulation adopts the general prohibitions of discrimination established under section 504,
and incorporates; specific prohibitions of discrimination from the ADA. Section 508 standards for website
accessibility are also incorporated into the study.
Focus of the Updated City of Downey ADA Self -Evaluation
Barriers that deny or limit access to programs, services or activities may be structural or nonstructural.
Nonstructural barriers may be due to policies, practices or procedures that may inadvertently limit,
segregate or discriminate against individuals with disabilities.
The focus of the City of Downey ADA/504 Self-evaluation and Transition Plan targets access to the City's
programs, services and activities in nonstructural or programmatic areas as defined by Title II of the ADA
and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Structural barriers are referenced in the transition plan by site
and are contained in detail in individualized Transition/Barrier Removal reports of sites inspected and are
available from the ADA Coordinator and in the DACTrak Accessibility Management System. It is important
to note that some structural barriers may be addressed by using a programmatic methodology if they did
not involve new construction or new remodeling and renovation. Findings, recommendations and other
pertinent information from the study has been loaded into the web based DACTrak Accessibility
Management System developed by Disability Access Consultants (DAC) and licensed to the City of Downey.
Using the features available in the DACTrak accessibility management software, the City is able to generate
compliance assessment reports that provide the following information:
A description of the non-compliant physical element
Identification of thereason(s) a physical element is considered non-compliant
Applicable federal and state accessibility code references that apply to the element

Transition/Barrier Removal Plan
The term "transition plan comes from the terminology in the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
that describes how public entities would be "transitioning" into compliance during the timelines of 1992 to
1995. The term barrier removal plan is used in addition to the term transition plan, as public entities are no
Page 1: 5
City of Downey ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Update
longer transitioning into compliance • the three years set aside in the law. The transition/barrie
removal plan identifies the noncompliant barrier that may deny access to goods and services, the propose
method to remove the barrier, the identity of the responsible person to oversee the implementation of th -
• and the projected `• for barrier removal • "structural" barrier. The self-evaluation, on t -
other hand focuses on programmatic barriers that may • access to programs services and activities. Th -
two plans work congruently to remove the structural and programmatic barriers. I
Public entities, such as the City of Downey, are required to provide access to City programs, services and
?ctivities
• the recipients of services. Thus, the City must provide access for individuals with disabilities
• document areas of noncompliance. Documentation is incorporated into the •l as barriers are
removed. Plans are updated, for example, as the City acquires additional properties, remodels facilities or
removes properties from its inventory list.

Findings
The City of Downey has demonstrated its ongoing commitment to enhance its accessibility to City
programs, services and activities by conducting an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA/504) Self-
evaluation and transition/barrier removal plan.
The findings and recommendations for the City buildings, parks and public rights-of-way (PROW) inspected
are contained in the DACTrak Accessibility Management Software. The DACTrak software program provides
the City with a web based tool to update its plan, document progress, estimate costs and schedule barrier
removal. DACTrak allows the user to prioritize in a variety of methods. Different report formats can be
printed from the DACTrak Accessibility Management Software provided by Disability Access Consultants.
Although the funding for the removal of accessibility barriers is incorporated into existing projects, the City
canplanto set aside funds for an ADA Budget to augment other ADA activities. Accommodations, for
example, that are needed but are not a part of a current project, may be able to be addressed with a
dedicated ADA Budget.
Recommendations
The City should develop methods and procedures to update and maintain a current plan, budget funds,
schedule, implement, document, and monitor barrier removal activities.
The City should develop internal oversight procedures and methods to monitor new construction to verify
that the work completed is compliant with accessibility standards.
Funds should be allocated for ADA projects and removal of ADA/504 and Title 24 barriers to accessibility, in
addition to components of the Public Right of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) and the California
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CMUTCD).
Notice to the Public of the Self -Evaluation_
Public notices of the Self-evaluation process and study were posted in August and September 2015 in
conspicuous locations throughout the City, as well as on the City's website and in the Downey Patriot local
newspaper. An announcement was also made during a City Council Meeting. _A copy of the notice of the
Self-evaluation and Transition Plan is located in Appendix A.

that include the Employee Handbook and Administrative Regulation No. 425. The notice of
nondiscrimination is also contained in all City or Successor Agency development agreements.
Recommendations
Nondiscrimination statements should be posted on frequently used publications for the public.
A sample nondiscrimination notice should also be utilized. A notice, such as the following sample, could be
utilized:
"The City of Downey does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission to, access to, or
operations of its programs, services or activities. The City does not discriminate on the basis of
disability in its hiring or employment practices. Questions, concerns, complaints or requests for
additional information regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act may be forwarded to the City's

Policies, practices and procedures for nondiscrimination should refer to members of the public, in addition
to employees, and address nondiscrimination in regards to access to all programs, services and activities for
individuals with disabilities and not be limited to employment. The City should consider adopting a general
nondiscrimination policy for access to programs, services, activities, applicants and employees.
Statements of nondiscrimination should be included on selected publications,_ brochures describing
programs, services and activities offered by the City, new employee' materials, recruitment materials;
publications and frequently used forms and documents.
Departments should be directed to include the statement in selected publications, documents and forms.
Contracts and vendors that provide printing and publication services should be notified of required
statements, required font and required contrast for accessible publications.
The new employee orientation packet and volunteer information should include a statement of -
nondiscrimination by the City in regards to the public's access to programs, services, activities, recruitment
and employment.
Input into the Self -Evaluation Process
The regulations which implement the ADA require publicentitiesto provide an opportunity to interested
persons and organizations to participate in the Self-evaluation process. For three years after completion of
theSelf-evaluation, the public entity must keep records of any problems identified. (28 CFR§35.105)
Findings
The City of Downey "provided numerous opportunities using different methodologies to solicit input into the
City plan. The public input process was comprehensive. Public input surveys were available in hard copy
format at several high public use City facilities such as City Hall and Library. Links to surveys designed for
Downey program and facility users and for organizations representing individuals with Disabilities are also
provided on the City's website in standardand largefontformats. Surveys for input from organizations
who serve persons with disabilities was mailed to many organizations in Downey and the surrounding area,
requesting comments and feedback. In addition to formal surveys, the phone number, email address and
mailing address of the City of Downey ADA/504 Coordinator was posted publically offering several further
methods for citizens to offer comments.
Recommendations
Although no additional activities are required, the City may wish to conduct periodic` customer satisfaction
surveys or gather _input from recipient of services as an ongoing activity. An additional emphasis may
-- Page 129
City of Downey ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Update
include outreach activities to collect and integrate input from individuals with disabilities and organizations
representing individuals with disabilities on an ongoing basis.
Grievance/Uniform Com laint Procedures
A public entity that employs fifty or more people must adopt and publish grievance procedures which
provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging any action that would be prohibited
by the ADA (28 CFR §35.107(b)).
Findings
From the Americans with Disabilities link from the home page, users can access the City's Grievance
Procedure and form, each of which includes contact information for the City's ADA Coordinator if someone
would need to file a grievance. The notice includes information on the procedure for filing a grievance with
expected windows of response, and a secondary contact if further discussion is needed for resolution. The
form that is provided for a grievant to complete, is very thorough which aids the process to ensure the City
collects the information needed to investigate and resolve a grievance. It is noted, that the instructions are
to type or print information onto the grievance form. However the form is only available as standard PDF,
not a fillable PDF form which would allow a user to type responses into the document.
Recommendations
The City should make efforts to inform staff and the public of the existence of the City's ADA/504
Coordinator, grievance procedures, the steps for handling grievances, and the City policies for remediation
of grievances.
Information regarding complaint procedures should be readily available to members of the public, as well
as to employees and applicants. Procedures should outline the steps needed to resolve a complaint.
Grievance procedures should be a part of the new employee orientation packet.
Grievance procedures should be available in accessible alternate formats.
A method to collect data and collect a profile of complaints should be developed. The status of the
complaint and the time from complaint to resolution should be documented to assist with
interventions and staff development to reduce or eliminate repeated complaints.
Complaint procedures and forms should be available at all City buildings and in all departments.
The City might consider the centralization of complaint handling to assist with the tracking of complaint
resolution. A centralized database and analysis of types and locations of complaints may also assist with
developing profiles to assistwithtargeting quality control and training measures. Centralized record
keeping of such information will help the City to regularly update its compliance efforts, and plan for
additional compliance implementation for training and budget considerations.
The ADA/504 Coordinator or designated staff can develop updated reports based on'a profile of concerns
or complaints to determine the needs for proposed training materials, agenda items, and proposed budget
expenditures.
Procedures should continue to be developed, implemented and institutionalized to provide consistency for
complaint resolution and record keeping.
Grievance procedures should also provide an alternate point of contact other than the ADA/504
Coordinator.
Access to Programs,,services and Activities
A public entity may not adopt official policies that are discriminatory or engage in practices that are
discriminatory. This prohibition applies to policies that are explicitly exclusionary and to those which
appear to be neutral but have a discriminatory effect (28 CFR §35.130(b)(3)).
Page 130
City of Downey ADA self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Update
Findings
City programs, services and activities were reviewed and none were found to be discriminatory. Public
input was sought regarding access to programs, services and activities as described in the opportunities for
public input section of this summary.
Recommendations
The ADA/504 Coordinator should continue to monitor and receive information regarding concerns or issues
about access to programs, services and activities and take the appropriate action regarding any potential
discriminatory practices for persons with disabilities.
City Policies
Findings
City policies, procedures and practices were reviewed and none were found to be discriminatory. DAC has
noted a few comments and recommendations for consideration by the City.
Recommendations
The City should continue to provide programs, services and activities that include individuals with
disabilities.
The ADA/504 Coordinator should continue to monitor programmatic access.
Additional and ongoing training should be provided regarding the requirements of the Americanswith
Disabilities Act and accommodations that provide equal access to programs, services and activities.
Meetings and events open to the public should be held in buildings that meet accessibility requirements, or
in the accessible portion of the building with accessible elements that serve the area where the meeting or
event is held. For example, parking, restrooms and drinking fountains that serve the area where the
meeting and event is held should also be accessible
Information regarding the facility should include information regarding accessible features and elements of
the site. For example, accessible parking, accessible restrooms and other items and elements should be
indicated on documents and on the website. Indicating accessible paths of travel and accessible entrances
also provides valuable information for individuals with disabilities. -A contact number and email address
should be provided for additional assistance.
Fliibility Criteria
Public entities cannot use eligibility criteria that tend to exclude or screen out persons with disabilities (28
CFR §35.130(b)(8)).
Findings
No discriminatory practices were noted regarding eligibility criteria for program access.
Recommendations
Program eligibility criteria should be reviewed as they are drafted or modified to ensure that eligibility
criteria do not put additional burdens or requirements on individuals with disabilities.
The City should continue to ensure that all eligibility criteria allow for accommodations for individuals with
disabilities.
Accommodations to Access Pro rams Services and Activities
The ADA/504 prohibits public entities from excluding persons with disabilities from programs,; activities or
services offered by the public entity. The law allows a public entity to use both structural and nonstructural
methods to achieve accessibility to programs, services and activities (28 CFR §35.150(x)(1); (b)(1)).
Findings
Reasonable accommodations policies and regulations are available to view on the City website.
Page 131
City of Downey ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Update
The City Council and City committee agendas continue to include a statement regarding requests for
accommodations for compliance with the ADA/504 be directed to the City Clerk, and includes a phone
number and the California Relay number for persons who use assistive technology.
Recommendations
Information about how to request accommodations should appear on all public notices, announcements
and agendas. Information should be disseminated to all departments and divisions regarding the
statement for accommodations requirement.
The City should -provide training for staff and volunteersregarding accommodations for individuals with
disabilities. All staff, and in particular frontline staff such as receptionists and staff with high public contact,
should receive training on interacting and accommodating individuals with disabilities.
Additional training materials and videos should be purchased or developed to assist with training efforts.
Currently, individuals requesting ADA/504 Accommodations are directed to contact the City's ADA/504
Coordinator, Shannon DeLong, by phone fax or email. The City of Downey does not currently have an
ADA/504 accessibility or accommodation request form on their website. This form could be added to the
City's dedicated Americans with Disabilities Act page, and be available using several methods and alternate
formats upon request. The ADA/504 Coordinator should maintain records of requests, concern and
comments and the status and method to resolve the concerns.
Citizens requesting ADA/504 Accommodations specifically for participation in a City Meeting are directed to
contact the City Clerk by phone with their request.
The City should assist departments with planning and budgeting for selected accommodations, such as
large print, cassettes, cd-roms, Braille materials, etc.
A centralized method for producing alternate formats may provide a cost savings and reduce the timelines
for the production of alternate formats.
Caually Effective Communication
Public entities must ensure that applicants, participants and members of the public with disabilities have
communication access that is equally effective as that provided to persons without disabilities (28 CFR
§35.160(a)).
Auxiliary Aids and Services
Findings
The City does have selected auxiliary aids and services available to persons with disabilities.
Recommendations
The City should provide staff training and information regarding auxiliary aids and effective communication
to employees and volunteers.
The City's policy directives should require equally effective communications for programs, services and
activities provided for the public by the City of Downey.
The City could purchase a -portable indoor -outdoor assistive listening system that could be checked out
from the ADA/504 Coordinator onanas-needed basis. Information should be sent to departments
regarding the availability of assistive listening systems.
interpreter Services
Findings
Interpreter services are generally handled individually by departments.
Recommendations
Interpreters should be provided as determined through the request for accommodation process or in
circumstances where an interpreter is known to be required. The City may want to inquire about a
Page 132
City of Downey ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Update
contract for City-wide interpreter services for departments, to utilize as needed to provide a quicker
response at a lower cost.
The City must ensure that those individuals utilizing a language other than English and are deaf, are also
provided interpreter services that specialize in signing for that language.
The City may consider the use of a video relay interpreter system to augment the current contract and
arrangements for interpreters.
Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf
Findings
TTY/TDD numbers were not found to be available in some departments, City publications, website pages or
in staff or service directories.
Recommendations
All staff responsible for responding to incoming telephone calls should be trained in the proper use and
protocol of TDD/TTYs. Information and training should be provided on an ongoing basis.
The City should install additional telecommunications devices for the deaf (TTY/TDD) phone lines in several
areas or purchase a network compatible system that would reside on the server.
Departments with high public use should purchase a unit or a network system. The City might consider the
purchase of a network PC compatible TTY/TDD system that would allowindividualcomputers to be
networked and access TTY/TDD calls, instead of purchasing separate TTY/TDD units that require a dedicated
line. The advantages of the networkable system are allowing the user to transfer calls, conduct conference
calls and utilize voice mail.
Employees who communicate with the public should become familiar with the use of TDD/TTY
communications and how to maintain the TDD/TTY in an operablecondition. The development of TDD/TTY
help sheets noting abbreviated words commonly used in TDD/TTY communications would be helpful to
staff when communicating via TDD/TTY. Posting the help sheet near TDD/TTY's would also be helpful to
the user.
Procedures should be developed and institutionalized to ensure that TDD/TTY and other communication
devices are maintained in working and operable order at all times.
The City may wish to purchase additional back up TDD/TTYs for replacement, in the event that permanently
located TDDs may be temporarily out of commission.
Publication of all TDD/TTY numbers must be provided in program literature, in phone directories and on
selected publications.
Website
There are three levels of website accessibility recognized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The
standards are referred to as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0). Websites for Title II
entities such as the City of Downey are required to comply with WCAG 2.0 Level AA. Level AA requirements
include all minimum standards of Level A as well.
Findings
The City website was found to be reasonably compliant regarding website accessibility to meet WCAG 2.0
Level AA protocols.
Very few errors were found, however common errors found on multiple pages are linked images missing
alternative text and missing form labels.
Video archives of past Council and Committee meetings are available to view, however the files are not
open or closed captioned. Per WCAG 2.0 Level AA, recorded video and/or audio files made available on the
website of the Title 11 public entity must offer open or closed captioning.
Page 133
City of Downey ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Update
Recommendations
The City should attempt to add suitable text descriptions to linked images and form labels. The City should
continue to monitor its website accessibility. The City should also contract with a service to caption
meetings for online view, or invest in a software or system that would allow City staff to add captioning to
video of meetings or other events that is available on the City's website.
The City should ensure that the website vendor/contractor provide a compliant website and issue a
statement of accessibility.
Alternate formats
Findings
Statements of accommodations do not specify to persons with disabilities that alternate formats are
available and it is not known what alternate formats may be available for public documents.
Recommendations
The City should consider a method to centralize a department, possibly connected to information services
or printing, that would provide documents and materials in alternate accessible formats. The centralized
approach to developing and maintaining alternate accessible formats may be more cost effective and
timely.
The City should continue to provide staff training regarding the requirements for accessible alternate
formats, what accessible alternate formats are and how to provide accessible alternate formats.
Procedures should be put in place for the development of accessible alternate formats.
The City should produce accessible alternate formats for high use areas where the probability fora request
for an alternate format is high. Examples include provision of audiocassettes, large print, information that
sent viae -mail, screen readers, Braille, and pictograms.
Public meeting broadcasts should be captioned and interpreters made available when requested.
It is recommended that the City consider contracting out selected services to organizations that have the
ability to develop Braille documents for brochures, pamphlets, applications, documents and other public
information written in text.
Availability of Online Information and Services
Information regarding City of Downey programs, services and activities should beavailablein alternate
formats to assist individuals with disabilities.
Findings
The accessibility of City of Downey information, meetings, agendas and minutes is significantly enhanced
due to the online availability of documents for meetings that are archived. The City's website has pages for
upcoming and archived meetings that includes agendas, minutes and video files of previously held
meetings. A video archive of meetings provides a significant step to accessibility of actual meetings, in
addition toothermethods of providing information to members of the public. No option for viewing the
archived meeting with closed captioning was located.
Recommendations
Public notices regarding meetings and other methods for input should have a statement of
accommodations that includes who to contact for an accommodation. A TTY/TDD number should also be
included. To meet the Title II public entity requirements of WCAG 2.0 Level AA, recordings of meetings and
videos are required to be closed or open captioned.
In regards to input for public meetings and agendas, the methods for submitting information should also be
expanded to include a system for online inputinaddition to appearing in person and submitting written
comments.
IgLMinology
Page 134
City of Downey ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Update
City publications should be reviewed to see if the word "handicapped" is used. The words "individuals with
disabilities" or "persons with disabilities" should replace "handicapped". The term "disabled person
should also be avoided. Information regarding acceptable terminology in "people first language" should
also be provided to City staff. Publications should be updated as they are reprinted.
It is recommended that the ADA/504 Coordinator disseminate information regarding ;acceptable
terminology to be utilized by departments and agencies.
Staff Training
On-going compliance with the ADA/504 can only be achieved if City staff and officials receive ongoing and
updated training about the rights of persons with disabilities and the obligations of public employees under
the ADA/504. Although training is not required by the ADA/504,-training regarding the requirements of the
ADA/504 is recommended.
Findings
There was evidence of training provided within the City and documentation of City staff attending
accessibility related training. DAC has also provided consultation for administrative and facilities staff.
Recommendations
The City should continue to provide ongoing training regarding the ADA/504 for facilities, public rights-of-
way and outdoor recreation standards. Suggested training topics should include, but are not limited to:
Requirements of the ADA/504 for the City of Downey

• Staff Development
The City should provide staff training in additional formats other than a classroom session, if needed.
Training methodologies could include videos (captioned) that could be viewed at the training or Checked
out by departments and agencies.
Additional training videos should be purchased and maintained for checkout, or borrowed from a variety of
agencies, such as the Department of Rehabilitation.
Handouts and training materials should be prepared, if needed, in alternate accessible formats.
The ADA/504 Coordinator should continue to provide or coordinate additional ADA/504 _training to all
management and staff who have regular contact with the public.
New Eng to ee and Volunteer Orientation
Findings
A statement is included on all City of Downey job flyers that reads "Any applicant requiring reasonable
accommodation during the selection process due to a qualified disability must inform the Human Resources
Office at (562) 904-7292 at least 72 hours in advance."
The City's Volunteer Opportunities page does not includes a statement of nondiscrimination or reasonable
accommodations.
Recommendations
The City should add information as to the identity, title, address, phone number and e-mail address of the
ADA/504 Coordinator to new employee orientation and volunteer information.
The City should develop training materials and videos for new employees and volunteers regarding
information and requirements of Title I and Title II of the ADA and Section 504. Materials could also be
offered on providing accommodations for individuals with disabilities.
Outreach Materials and Activities
The ADA/504 does not specifically state how a public entity provides for accessibility to the City's programs,
services and activities. One method is to disseminate information in avariety of locations and formats to
enhance the access to programs, services and activities of the City.
Findings
No specific outreach activities were noted regarding providing activities and materials for individuals with
disabilities. However, when meetings and activities are scheduled, a member of the Public Works
Department reviews the location to determine accessibility. In addition, a statement of accommodation is
included on public outreach meeting notices.
Recommendations
The City should consider including additional pictures and references to individuals with disabilities in
publications, brochures and materials.
Organizations representing individuals with disabilities and areas with an increased population of
individuals with disabilities_ could be targeted for input regarding additional methods to disseminate
information regarding programs, services and activities of the city.
In City publications, areas or services that are accessible should be indicated with descriptive text and the
International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA). For example, accessible restrooms and routes can be designated
on the website, on maps and in publications.
DistriuioMn and Location of Publications
Publications, documents and brochures are required to be accessible for individuals with disabilities.
Page 136
City of Downey ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Ypdate
Findings
Most publications, brochures and documents are displayed in departments and areas that were accessible
for individuals with disabilities. Displays should also allow for retrieval of the information without utilizing a
tight pinching or grasping motion and be within compliant reach range.
Recommendations
The ADA/504 Coordinator should continue to provide information to departments regarding the placement
of brochures, pamphlets and information in accessible locations and inaccessible containers or displays for
individuals with disabilities. Including requirements for reach ranges and clear floor space to access
publications would also be helpful.
Counters and areas that are lowered for access by individuals with disabilities should be maintained and
kept clear of display and work items.
Fees and Surcharges
Publicentities may not charge a`fee or add a surcharge to -a fee to cover the cost of making its facilities,
programs, services or activities accessible to persons with disabilities. (28 CFR §35.130(f)).
Findings
There was no evidence of fees charged to individuals with disabilities that were not charged to individuals
without disabilities to access programs, services and activities.
Recommendations
The Coordinator should continue to randomly review policies and practices to ensure that fees
and surcharges are not charged to individuals with disabilities that are not charged to individuals without
disabilities.
Emergency Evacuation Procedures
The City is required to plan to meet the needs of persons with disabilities in an emergency and provide
access to emergency shelter services.
Findings
The City of Downey website contains Emergency Preparedness and alert information in the event of natural
or man-made disasters. information regarding the emergency, and recovery plans are available from the
City's Office of Emergency Management.
There is also an option for residents to subscribe to Downey Alerts Citizen Notification System, which will
send immediate emergency notifications from the City to a phone number or email.
Downey also offers a Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.) program to instruct volunteers to
assist family, friends and neighbors in times of widespread emergencies when first responders may be
overwhelmed. There is no reference as to whether the training curriculum includes information on
assisting persons with disabilities.
Emergency evacuation routes were posted at the majority of the sites inspected.
Recommendations
The City should provide additional training and information regarding emergency evacuation procedures,
particularly with regard to the evacuation of persons with disabilities.
The City should make sure that evacuation routes and procedures continue to be posted at all City sites in
accordance with ADA/504 regulations.
All staff should be made aware of the location of the posted evacuation routes within their facilities.
The City should develop procedures and a mechanism -to -monitor the posting of emergency evacuation
routes and procedures.
Page 137
City of Downey ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan Update
The City should consider the development of avoluntary registry for individualsthatmay need additional
assistance that may not have access to technology.
Shelters should besurveyed to determine that they are accessible for individuals with disabilities prior to be
designated as an evacuation shelter. A provision should be noted to allow service animals and training
should be provided to shelter staff to understand the difference between pets and service animals.
Designated evacuation shelter sites should also be inspected on a regular basis to determine that the
shelter continues to be accessible for persons with disabilities. Noncompliant findings for designated
shelters can be found in the City of Downey ADA/504 Transition/Barrier Removal Plan.
Organizations Representing Persons with Disabilities'
The ADA/504 does not require the City staff or teams to directly participate with organizations representing
persons with disabilities. The City of Downey, however, has an opportunity to network and develop
collaborative partnerships with individuals and organizations representing persons with disabilities.
Through the network, partnerships, and the City of Downey ADA/504 Committee, the City has provided an
additional mechanism for public input to ensure that current and future programs, services and activities
are accessible.
Findings
Information regarding the representation of individuals with disabilities on committees was not available.
Recommendations
The City should continue to include individuals with disabilities on committees and advisory boards.
Policies for the Use of City Facilities
Findings
The City's Department of Parks and Recreation notes that select parks and park facilities are able to be
reserved. The City's website includes terms and conditions for reserving a facility or parkaswell as a
Facilities Conduct Policy. There is no nondiscrimination notice or information on accessibility in the terms,
but the Facilities Conduct Policy does state that users are not permitted to engage in any activity prohibited
by municipal, state and/or federal laws, which would include discrimination on the basis of a disability.
Recommendations
The City should consider the inclusion of a nondiscrimination clause in their rental policy. The inclusion of
non-discriminating language in policy and on forms would -help 'ensure that outside _ groups and
organizations would agree to abide by all applicable local, state and federal laws and City policy regarding
nondiscriminatory practices during the utilization of City facilities.
The City should make the application form and facility use 'agreement available in multiple formats,
ensuring at least one is accessible, and offer multiple methods to submit the application. A policy that
would prohibit pets in a facility or park should include a notice allowing service dogs, when appropriate.
Facilities Leased by, the Cit
Under Title 11 of the ADA, the City is responsible for providing access to its programs, services and activities
in both owned and leased facilities.
Findings
Noncompliant findings for leased spaces can be found in the City of Downey ADA/504 Transition/Barrier
Removal Plan.
Recommendations
The City should review the accessibility of sites that are and may be leased in the future prior to engaging in
a lease or renewal, and establish a procedure for a pre-lease inspection.
When considering a Teased space, the ADA/504 Coordinator should be trained to conduct or have a
designee or consultant conduct a field inspection of the prospective building to assess the building for a
Page 138
City of Downey ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Pian Update
general, functional level of accessibility. The ADA/504 Coordinator could utilize an abbreviated checklist to
determine general accessibility of facilities that the City is considering to lease. A more comprehensive
inspection could be conducted if the initial review appears to be favorable.
Selection of Cntractorrs and Contracted Services
Public entities cannot use contract procurement criteria that discriminate against persons with disabilities
(28 CFR 35.130(b) (5))._ Contractors should be held to the same nondiscrimination rules that apply to City
employees.
Findings
No discriminatory or exclusionary practices were evident in the selection of contractors and contracted
services.
Recommendations
The City should continue to monitor use of standard agreements and leases by all City departments.
It is recommended that the City consider one or more of these avenues; to maintain compliance when
contracting for services or when leasing facilities:
• Include ADA/504 compliance requirements in new requests for proposals.
• Review ADA/504 requirements when contracts or leases are negotiated, revised or renewed.
Maintenance of Accessible Features
The ADA requires(35.133) public entities to maintain their accessible features and elements. _
Findings
No formal policies or procedures specifically to maintain accessible features were found There is evidence,-
however,-of maintenance of some accessible features at City sites. The City also includes accessibility
improvements and renovation in their overall Capital Improvement Plans.
Recommendations
The City should consider developing procedures or policies to maintain accessible features that require
general maintenance. A few examples include re-striping of parking, trimming_ vegetation or items that
interfere with sidewalks, elevators and paths of travel.
Planninp. and Budgeting for`Accessibili
There is nota specific requirement in the ADA/504 for planning and budgeting for barrier removal. There is
a requirement for public entities to incorporate a projected schedule for barrier removal into the
transition/barrier Removal plan. A City that is budgeting or seeking funds to use for ADA/504- barrier
removal and to improve access to programs, services and activities shows intent to implement the barrier
removal/transition plan.
Findings
There is evidence that the City of Downey is incorporating the removal of barriers to accessibility on an
ongoing basis and plans to remove additional barriers to City programs, services and activities.
-Recommendations
The City should preserve the method to maintain an ongoing barrier removal implementation plan and
document the City's progress, initiatives and funds expended.
Itis recommended that the City contract for an independent review of plans, remodeling efforts and new
construction for accessibility requirements for the Americans with Disabilities Act Standards (ADA) and Title
24 of the California Building Code. It is important and required that the accessibility barrier removal efforts
meet federal and state accessibility codes.
The ADA/504 Coordinator, or designated staff, should be empowered with the authority to make
recommendations and monitor the current City of Downey ADA/504 Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan.
