Commission Memorandum Page 2 June 21, 1995
Title II of the ADA requires that state and local governments provide accessibility to
their programs and do not discriminate on the basis of a persons disability in
employment and in the goods, services and programs that they provide. Recreation
programs are covered under Title II of ADA and as such, designing and
implementing a program to provide for "inclusion of children with disabilities in
Recreation programs will support and enhance the City's efforts to comply with
ADA and provide a benefit to the children of the City.
The Request for Proposal described in the Resolution provides funding for the
designing and implementing of a prototype program to include children with
disabilities in recreation and leisure programs and then to create a manual to be
made available to other municipalities to help them implement their own inclusion
programs.
ANALYSIS:
Under Title II of ADA, programs of state and local governments must be made
accessible to persons with disabilities, and must be done so in a manner that does
not segregate persons with disabilities form those without disabilities. To comply
with the law, the City should design programs to include children with disabilities in
recreation/leisure activities provided by the City even if the City is not awarded this
proposal.
The Administration proposes that this RFP be responded to since receipt of the
award of this proposal would enable the City to design and implement an
"inclusion" program that would be funded under this proposal and in doing so,
would allow the program to be implemented much more rapidly than if any
inclusion program would be subject to existing budget constraints.

CONCLUSION:
It is the Administration's recommendation that the City respond to this RFP and
execute a proposal so that the City may receive, if awarded, up to $180,000.00 over
two years, to design, implement, and create a manual for a prototype program to
include children with disabilities in recreation/leisure programs and by doing so,
support the City's efforts to comply with the spirit of the Americans with
Disabilities Act.
