AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)
Americans with Disabilities Act
The City of Florence does not discriminate on the basis of disability in the admission or access to, treatment in, or employment in, its programs or activities and strives to make all of our programs and services available to every Florence citizen. The City’s website includes a webpage dedicated to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which includes notices, grievance procedures, and information on accommodations.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 provides guidelines to comply with accessible programs, services and building construction, but we always need to hear from our citizens to direct resources where they are most needed.
Title I - Employment
Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act addresses the rights of individuals with disabilities in employment settings. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act Handbook (U.S. Department of Justice, 1991), the purpose of Title I is to ensure that qualified individuals with disabilities are protected from discrimination on the basis of disability. As long as the individual is qualified for an employment opportunity, they cannot be denied that opportunity simply because they have a disability and must therefore be given the same consideration for employment that individuals without disabilities are given.
Title II - Public Services
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act addresses the right of access to public services by individuals with disabilities. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act Handbook (U.S. Department of Justice, 1991), the purpose of Title II is to prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability in all services, programs and activities provided or made available by local or state governments and their affiliate agencies. This is regardless of whether they receive federal funding or how many employees they have.
Citizens should contact Alex Ferguson, HR Manager as the City’s ADA Coordinator. Alex can be reached at:
