What will the City do upon receiving my request for a reasonable accommodation?

The city may contact you to obtain more information about your request and to better understand your needs. In addition, City may review your request to determine: 

  • Whether the requested accommodation will be effective in allowing you to participate in the activity or program in which you are seeking participation; 
  • Whether the requested accommodation is reasonable, or an equally effective alternative to the requested accommodation is available; and 
  • Whether providing you with the requested accommodation would fundamentally alter the nature of the City’s program or impose undue financial or administrative burdens on City. 

In addition, in some cases, the City may consult with you in an interactive process to determine on a case-by-case basis what accommodations can be made. 

If the City determines that your requested accommodation would fundamentally alter the nature of the program or impose an undue financial or administrative burden, the City may deny your request. However, in the unlikely event that this occurs, City will work with you to identify an alternative accommodation that allows you to effectively participate in City’s program, activity, or service.
