Greenwood council names city engineer ADA coordinator, approves code change
Summary
The Greenwood Common Council amended the municipal code to identify an individual ADA coordinator and approved a resolution naming the city engineer to the role; both measures advanced on Jan. 6, 2025, by unanimous votes.
The Greenwood Common Council on Jan. 6 approved changes to the municipal code to require naming an individual as the Americans with Disabilities Act coordinator and advanced a companion resolution naming the city engineer to that role.
Councilmembers voted 8-0 to pass Ordinance No. 2448 on second reading after suspending the rules to allow a same-night second reading. The ordinance amends chapter 2, article 10 of the Greenwood Municipal Code to require that the ADA coordinator be identified by name rather than by position. The council also advanced Resolution No. 2417 on first reading, which explicitly appoints the current city engineer as the named ADA coordinator; that measure passed the first-reading vote, 8-0.
Council members framed the measures as an administrative clarification tied to recent staff changes. During the ordinance discussion a council member said state law requires naming an individual rather than a position and that the city has a newly hired city engineer; the ordinance and resolution together assign the coordinator role to that engineer. No public testimony or extended debate was recorded on the measures.
Votes were recorded by roll call. Ordinance No. 2448 passed second reading by an 8-0 tally. Resolution No. 2417 passed first reading by an 8-0 tally; a subsequent required second reading or administrative step was not recorded in the transcript.
The changes place the day-to-day ADA coordination responsibility—such as ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and handling related matters—on the individual named in the city resolution. The council identified the appointment as a city policy matter and sponsored the resolution through Councilmember Campbell.
Council staff will carry out the administrative steps required by the municipal code change and the named appointment. The transcript did not record additional implementation timelines or whether the appointment requires any interdepartmental memorandum of understanding.
