Notice:
NOTICE UNDER THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT1
In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), the City of
Wenatchee (“City”) will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in
its services, programs, or activities.
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 ADA.
The City 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 City’s programs, services, and
activities, including qualified sign language interpreters, documents in Braille, and other ways of making
information and communications accessible to people who have speech, hearing, or vision impairments.
The City will make such 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 City 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 City should contact the ADA Coordinator as
soon as possible but no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event. Email may be used but may take longer
than a phone call.
The ADA does not require the City to take any action that would fundamentally alter the nature of its programs
or services, or impose an undue financial or administrative burden.
The City of Wenatchee will not place a surcharge on a particular individual with a disability or any group of
individuals with disabilities to cover the cost of providing auxiliary aids/services or reasonable modifications of
policy, such as retrieving items from locations that are open to the public but are not accessible to persons who
use wheelchairs.
Complaints that a program, service, or activity of the City is not accessible to persons with disabilities should be
directed to Kari Page, ADA Coordinator in accordance with the City of Wenatchee Grievance Procedure under
the Americans with Disabilities Act (Title II). A copy of the procedure may be obtained at
https://www.wenatcheewa.gov/government/ada-information/ada-compliance-grievance or by contacting the
office of the City’s ADA Coordinator:
