The Commission on Inclusion and Adaptive Living for the City of Flagstaff said completing an ADA transition plan and addressing staff disability self‑disclosure should be its top priorities.

Commission members said the city has named an ADA coordinator and that the commission will work with that coordinator and human resources to develop a transition plan that includes concrete timelines and opportunities for council and staff engagement.

Commissioners argued the city should also examine how it administers the federal contractor self‑identification process. A commissioner reported the city’s current reporting shows 3% of employees disclose a disability, while the federal target discussed at the meeting is 7%. Commissioners urged outreach measures to reassure staff that disclosure is not punitive and to request a compliance review from HR and the new risk/ADA coordinator.

Commission discussion and next steps focused on sequencing and outreach. Members agreed to invite the newly assigned ADA coordinator, Aaron Kaminsky, to a future meeting after he has settled into his position so he can explain current processes and options for outreach. Commissioners asked Stacy and staff to prepare a timeline and list of desired outcomes for an October meeting and to include HR leadership in that discussion.

The commission also discussed how Barrier Free Flagstaff (BFF) accessibility expeditions and staff accessibility audits should feed into the transition plan. Commissioners favored giving expedition teams direct, timely summary results to city staff while the commission crafts consolidated recommendations to forward to the mayor and council.

Commissioners did not adopt any formal motion or vote during the meeting. They agreed instead on a set of follow‑up actions: invite the ADA coordinator back to brief the commission, work with HR and the city risk manager to review CC‑305 practices, and schedule a multi‑part discussion of the transition plan with council involvement later in the year.
