Committee approves development of training on city code chapters covering disability obligations
Summary
The committee authorized a member to develop training materials explaining City of Austin code chapters related to disability obligations for HR and contracting staff; the member will return with materials for committee review, and the motion carried by voice vote.
The Mayor's Committee for People with Disabilities approved a motion asking a committee member to develop training materials about City of Austin code chapters relevant to disability obligations and to return with the materials for committee review.
A commissioner who had discussed civil-rights and ADA program outreach proposed creating a recorded training module explaining how city code chapters (city code chapters 5 and 6 were cited in the discussion) relate to obligations for city employees and contractors and how they compare with federal requirements. The presenter said they had begun drafting notes and would bring a reviewable module back to the committee, and the committee voted to approve that plan.
The motion carried on a voice vote and members agreed the presenter should aim to bring materials for comment at a future meeting (May was suggested). Several members volunteered to assist or provide feedback on community-facing framing when the materials are presented.
Ending: The presenter will continue developing the training material and return to the committee for feedback; staff will place the item on the May agenda for review.
