Notice under the Americans with Disabilities Act

 

In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), the Rio Linda Elverta Recreation and Park District (District) will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities.

 

Employment: The District 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 ADA.

 

Effective Communication: The District will generally, upon request, provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for qualified persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in the Rio Linda Elverta Recreation and Park District’s programs, services, and activities.

 

Modifications to Policies and Procedures: The District will make all reasonable modifications to policies and programs to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy all of its programs, services, and activities. For example, individuals with service animals are welcomed in the District offices, even where pets are generally prohibited.

 

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity of the District, should contact the office of the program, service or activity coordinator as soon as possible but no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event.

 

The ADA does not require the Rio Linda Elverta Recreation and Park District to take any action that would fundamentally alter the nature of its programs or services or impose an undue financial or administrative burden.

 

Complaints that a program, service, or activity of the District is not accessible to persons with disabilities should be directed to:
