Item Title:	Approval of ADA Plan
Date:	6/19/2019
Department:	Engineering Services

Background:
Local Agencies must have plans for providing accessibility to their programs and facilities by those who are disabled. However, those agencies with 50 or more employees have additional responsibilities under ADA/504, which include drafting and providing for public comment an ADA Transition Plan to prioritize, schedule, and report corrections of deficiencies identified during self assessment of all facilities. The ADA Transition Plan must be publicly posted and updated periodically. This is also one of the requirements for Local Agency Program (LAP) certification by FDOT for a County to participate in federal funding programs. Also, the coordinators for the ADA/504 Plan and the Title VI/Nondiscrimination Policy need to be updated.
