ADA grants one-year extension; county to train staff on accessible document creation
Summary
The county reported the ADA granted a one-year extension for document remediation; commissioners endorsed quarterly progress reports and recommended staff training to create accessible documents.
County staff told the commission April 21 that the U.S. Department of Justice/ADA grantors (recorded in the transcript as "the ADA") provided the county a one‑year extension to complete document remediation. Staff said the extra time will allow departments to implement training and remediation processes for accessible documents rather than rushing to meet the original deadline.
Commissioners agreed quarterly updates on progress would be sufficient and emphasized staff training to create accessible Word and Excel documents correctly. One commissioner said the extension "gives us breathing room" and recommended ensuring departments (Sheriff, EMS, Auditor) report compliance status as they make progress.
