Policy Regarding Non-Discrimination
on the Basis of Disability
A resolution 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 on his or her handicap, be excluded from participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any progam or activity receiving
federal financial assistance"; and,
Whereas, Eagle has received a Community 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 City Council of Eagle, Idaho, the following:
Section 1.
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 undenake 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.
Section ll.
Section ID.
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.
Section N.
Further, the City shall, where building modifications are required, develop and
implement a transition plan for the timely elimination of structural barriers to
citizens and disabilities.
