NO. 15-92
Policy Regarding Bon-Discrimination
on the Basis of DiSability
A resolution of the City of Eagle, Idaho, adopting a policy of non-
discrimination on the basis of disability.
Whereas, the Congress of the United States has passed Section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which requires that "No otherwise
qualified individual with handicaps in the United States...shall,
solely on the basis of his or her handicap, be excluded from
participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to
discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal
financial assistance"; and,
Whereas, the City of Eagle has received an Idaho Co~unity
Development Block Grant and is required to comply with Section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; and,
Whereas, the failure to comply with the terms and conditions of
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act may cause the City to lose
its grant or eligibility for future grants;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Mayor and the Council of the
City of Eagle, Idaho, the following:
Section I.
Section II.
Section III.
Section IV.
It is the policy of the City that all programs and
activities shall be accessible to, and usable by,
qualified persons with disabilities.
That the City shall undertake an evaluation,
conducted in consultation with citizen groups
involving persons with disabilities, of its
programs, policies, procedures and facilities
in order to determine those areas where
discrimination may occur.
The City shall, upon completion of said evaluation,
make such revisions, modifications, or other
changes so as to fully comply with the letter
and intent of Section 504.
Further, the City shall, where building
modifications are required, develop and implement
a transition plan for the timely elimination of
structural barriers to citizens with disabilities.
Citizens may contact Linda Kioukis at 939-6813, 310 E. State St.,
for assistance or to answer questions regarding this policy.
