ADA discussion regarding snow removal at bus stops —Presented by ARC Cedar Valley. ADJOURNMENT Suzy Schares City Clerk Kim Jensen me a.a Director of Advocacy Services row of Cedor Volley Serving persons with cognitive, intellectual and related developmental disabilities in Black Hawk and Grundy Counties PO Box 4090 Waterloo, Iowa 50704-4090 Phone (319) 232-0437 e-mail: arccv@episervice.org Fax (319) 232-0453 website: www.arccv.org • Eric Donat of 610 E. 4th St. #67 Waterloo representing Black Hawk Co. People First • Personal story about how lack of snow removal affects me: Means during the winter season, I don't have access to sidewalks, curb -cuts, or crosswalks due to them not being cleared of blockages of snow & ice or snow plows re -blocking them after passing through. In order to be mobile in winter, I have to ride my wheelchair in the streets / on the road [to travel to the bus -stops or anywhere else] — sometimes I'm stopped by the police - Even if I could get to the bus stop it wouldn't matter because most of the time they're not clear or accessible. My alternative choice is to stay home & housebound during the winter — I already tend to be more housebound than others during the winter months. Being on low or fixed income limits people with disabilities' options to use alternative transportation such as Para -transit or Prime Time Pass through NEICIL or a taxi -cab service. Limited mobility to travel during winter also limits full-time competitive employment or educational opportunities for people with disabilities. SNOW REMOVAL DATA SHEET INFORMATION GATHERED STARTING 12/17/2010 THROUGH 2/1/2011 DATES IT SNOWED DATES CHECKED FOR ACCESSIBLE PATH 12/15/2010 *12/17/2010 NOT ACCESSIBLE PATH 12/20/2010 12/23/2010 NOT ACCESSIBLE PATH 12/24/2010 *12/29/2010 NOT ACCESSIBLE PATH 1/10/2011 / 1/11/2011 *01/13/2011 NOT ACCESSIBLE PATH 1/17/2011 01/19/2011 NOT ACCESSIBLE PATH 1/31/2011 / 2/1/2011 PATHS ACCESSIBLE WHEN SNOW MELTED *Pictures taken Statistics: There are approximately 150 bus benches. I observed 72 bus benches on 12/29/2010 six days after the last snow fall on 12/24/2010. Out of the 72 bus benches: 19 had been cleared down University 5 had been cleared around Covenant Hospital (they do their own) 11 had been cleared around Crossroads (they do their own on their property) 17 had not been cleared around the City of Waterloo 20 had not been cleared past downtown Waterloo into the Northeast side. * Lincoln Park had been cleared.

Public accommodations are private entities who own, lease., lease to, or operate facilities such as restaurants, retail stores, hotels, movie theaters, private schools, convention centers, doctors' offices, homeless shelters, lransportatiQ1 depots,, zoos, funeral homes, day care centers, and recreation facilities including sports stadiums and fitness clubs. Transportation services provided by private entities are also covered by title III, Public accommodations must comply with basic nondiscrimination requirements that prohibit exclusion, segregation, and unequal treatment. They also must comply with specific requirements related to architectural standards for new and altered buildings; reasonable modifications to policies, practices, and procedures; effective communication with people with hearing, vision, or speech disabilities; and other access requirements. Additionally, public accommodations must _rernwe barjers in existing buildings where it is easy to do so without much difficulty or expense, given the public accommodation's resources. Courses and examinations related to professional, educational, or trade -related applications, licensing, certifications, or credentialirig must be provided in a place and manner accessible to people with disabilities, or alternative accessible arrangements must be offered. Commercial facilities, such as factories and warehouses, must comply with the ADA's architectural standards for new construction and alterations. Complaints of title III violations may be filed with the Department of Justice. In certain situations, cases may be referred to a mediation program sponsored by the Department. The Department is authorized to bring a lawsuit where there is a pattern or practice of discrimination in violation of title III, or where an act of discrimination raises an issue of general public importance. Title III may also be enforced through private lawsuits. It is not necessary to file a complaint with the Department of Justice (or any Federal agency), or to receive a "right -to -sue" letter, before going to court.

[brinkhoffj@missouri.edu] Sent: Monday, December 20, 2010 1:38 PM To: Arccv Subject: Title II Obligations Kim, The information below is from the U.S. Department of Justice's Title II Technical Assistance Manual. The blue text specifically gives examples of contracted services or relationships that must meet Title II obligations. I will be sending the complaint information shortly. Julie Brinkhoff Great Plains ADA Center brinkhoffl3missouri.edu II-1.2000 Public entity. 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 a 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 II, therefore, does not apply to the Federal Government, which is covered by sections 501 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Title II is intended to apply to all programs, activities, and services provided or operated by State and local governments. Currently, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act only applies to programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance. Because many State and local government operations, such as courts, licensing, and legislative facilities and proceedings do not receive Federal funds, they are beyond the reach of section 504. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a particular entity that is providing a public service, such as a library, museum, or volunteer fire department, is in fact a public entity. Where an entity appears to have both public and private features, it is necessary to examine the relationship between the entity and the governmental unit to determine whether the entity is public or private. Factors to be considered in this determination include -- 1) Whether the entity is operated with public funds; 2) Whether the entity's employees are considered government employees; 3) Whether the entity receives significant assistance from the government by provision of property or equipment; and 4) Whether the entity is governed by an independent board selected by members of a private organization or a board elected by the voters or appointed by elected officials. 1 II-1.3000 Relationship to title III. Public entities are not subject to title III of the ADA, which covers only private entities. Conversely, private entities are not subject to title II. In many situations, however, public entities have a close relationship to private entities that are covered by title III, with the result that certain activities may be at least indirectly affected by both titles. ILLUSTRATION 1: A privately owned restaurant in a State park operates for the convenience of park users under a concession agreement with a State department of parks. As a public accommodation, the restaurant is subject to title III and must meet those obligations. The State department of parks, a public entity, is subject to title II. The parks department is obligated to ensure by contract that the restaurant is operated in a manner that enables the parks department to meet its title II obligations, even though the restaurant is not directly subject to title II. ILLUSTRATION 2: A city owns a downtown office building occupied by its department of human resources. The building's first floor, however, is leased to a restaurant, a newsstand, and a travel agency. The city, as a public entity and landlord of the office building, is subject to title II. As a public entity, it is not subject to title III, even though its tenants are public accommodations that are covered by title III. ILLUSTRATION 3: A city engages in a joint venture with a private corporation to build a new professional sports stadium. Where public and private entities act jointly, the public entity must ensure that the relevant requirements of title II are met; and the private entity must ensure compliance with title III. Consequently, the new stadium would have to be built in compliance with the accessibility guidelines of both titles II and III. In cases where the standards differ, the stadium would have to meet the standard that provides the highest degree of access to individuals with disabilities. ILLUSTRATION 4: A private, nonprofit corporation operates a number of group homes under contract with a State agency for the benefit of individuals with mental disabilities. These particular homes provide a significant enough level of social services to be considered places of public accommodation under title III. The State agency must ensure that its contracts are carried out in accordance with title II, and the private entity must ensure that the homes comply with title III. 2 U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Disability Rights Section A GUIDE TO DISABILITY RIGHTS AWS May 2000 c�� Charges of employment discrimination on the basis of disability may be filed at any U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission field office. Field offices are located in 50 cities throughout the U.S. and are listed in most telephone directories under "U.S. Government." For the appropriate EEOC field office in your geographic area, contact: (800) 669-4000 (voice) (800) 669-6820 (TTY) www.eeoc.gov Publication and information on EEOC-enforced laws may be obtained by calling: (800) 669-3362 (voice) (800) 800-3302 (TTY) For information on how to accommodate a specific individual with a disability, contact the Job Accommodation Network at: (800) 526-7234 (voice/TTY) http://janweb.icdi.wvu.edu/english ADA Title II: State and Local Government Activities Title II covers all activities of State and local governments regardless of the government entity's size or receipt of Federal funding. Title II requires that State and local govemments give people with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from all of their programs, services, and activities (e.g. public education, employment, transportation, recreation, health care, social services, courts, voting, and town meetings). State and local governments are required to follow specific architectural standards in the new construction and alteration of their buildings. They also must relocate programs or otherwise provide access in inaccessible older buildings, and communicate effectively with people who have hearing, vision, or speech disabilities. Public entities are not required to take actions that would result in undue financial and administrative burdens. They are required to make reasonable modifications to policies, practices, and procedures where necessary to avoid discrimination, unless they can demonstrate that doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity being provided. Complaints of title II violations may be filed with the Department of Justice within 180 days of the date of discrimination. In certain situations, cases may be referred to a mediation program sponsored by the Department. The Department may bring a lawsuit where it has investigated a matter and has been unable to resolve violations.

Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Page 1 of The following is the Department's 1991 title II ADA regulation published July 26, 1991, which should continue to be used until March 14, 2011. The Department's 2010 title II ADA. regulation published September 15, 2010, should be used beginning March 15, 2011. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Office of the Attorney General 28 CFR PART 35 [Order No. ] Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services AGENCY: Department of Justice. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This rule implements subtitle A of title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Pub. L. 101-336, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public entities. Subtitle A protects qualified individuals with disabilities from discrimination on the basis of disability in the services, programs, or activities of all State and local governments. It extends the prohibition of discrimination in federally assisted programs established by section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to all activities of State and local governments, including those that do not receive Federal financial assistance, and incorporates specific prohibitions of discrimination on the basis of disability from titles I, III, and V of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This rule, therefore, adopts the general prohibitions of discrimination established under section 504, as well as the requirements for making programs accessible to individuals with disabilities and for providing equally effective communications. It also sets forth standards for what constitutes discrimination on the basis of mental or physical disability, provides a definition of disability and qualified individual with a disability, and establishes a complaint mechanism for resolving allegations of discrimination. EFFECTIVE DATE: January 26, 1992. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Barbara S. Drake, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division; Stewart B.
