I. BACKGROUND
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990, providing comprehensive civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities in the areas of employment, public accommodations and State and local government services.
Title II of the ADA protects qualified individuals with disabilities from discrimination on the basis of disability in program, activities and services provided or operated by all State and local governments.
Title II mandates that a public entity evaluate its current services, policies and practices to determine whether they are in compliance with the non-discrimination regulations of the ADA. A self-evaluation is required and intended to examine programs, activities and services, identify problems or physical barriers that may limit accessibility by the disabled and describe potential compliance solutions.
II. ADA COORDINATOR
The Public Works Director has designated the Deputy Building Official as the ADA Coordinator. This position is responsible for ensuring that all programs, services, and activities of the City of Marysville are accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. The City's ADA Coordinator is:
Jeramy Chapdelaine, Public Works Director
City of Marysville
526 C Street
Marysville, CA 95901
(530) 749-3902 (phone)
(530) 749-3991 (fax)
To request an ADA accommodation or file an ADA grievance, contact the ADA Coordinator and follow the established procedures outlined in Section VIII.
III. DEFINITIONS
As used in this Transition Plan (Plan), the following terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in this Section, which are consistent with the provisions of existing federal and state law, including the regulations promulgated thereunder. Except to the extent expressly stated to the contrary, any term not expressly defined in this Section or elsewhere in this Transition Plan that has an expressly defined meaning in either the ADA or the regulations promulgated thereunder ("Regulations") shall have the meaning ascribed to it by the ADA or the Regulations, in that order of preference. All other terms shall be interpreted according to their plain and ordinary meaning.
ADA/ADAAG: "ADA" means and refers to the Americans with Disabilities Act as contained at 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. "ADAAG" means and refers to the Americans with Disabilities Act Access Guidelines, codified at Appendix A to 28 Code of Federal Regulations part 36 and at Appendix A to 49 Code of Federal Regulations part 37. "ADAAG Standards" means and refers to physical conditions that meet the new construction and/or alterations standards set forth in ADAAG.
Compliance Period: "Compliance Period" means and refers to the period of time for which this Transition Plan will be in effect. The Transition Plan shall become effective upon Final
Approval, and remain in effect for up to 30 years. The City may dissolve the Transition Plan at any time upon a showing that it provides Program Access to Pedestrian Rights of Way or upon a showing that it has met or exceeded the monetary obligations specified in this Transition Plan.
Alternatively, the Transition Plan will remain in effect until it dissolves automatically 30 years after Final Approval.
Compliant Curb Ramp: "Compliant Curb Ramp" means and refers to a curb ramp that is constructed to comply with state and/or federal law (whichever provides the higher access standard) in place at the time of construction. In the case of a location where it is Structurally Impracticable or Technically Infeasible to build a fully compliant curb ramp, or where construction of a fully compliant curb ramp would constitute a Fundamental Alteration of a service, program, or activity of the City of Marysville or an Undue Burden on the City of Marysville, a curb ramp that complies with access standards, or was constructed to the standards existing at the time of construction, or to the maximum extent feasible, will constitute a Compliant Curb Ramp as long as the requirements set forth in this Transition Plan for justifying the reasons for the City to avoid full compliance are met.
Curb Ramp: "Curb Ramp" is used interchangeably with "curb cut." Detectable Warnings: "Detectable Warnings" means and refers to truncated domes which provide a tactile surface at the transition between the curb and the street, assisting pedestrians with Vision Disabilities in determining when they enter the street.
Final Approval: "Final Approval" means and refers to the date when the City Council approves the "Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan" for the City of Marysville.
Fundamental Alteration: "Fundamental Alteration" means and refers to an action that, if taken by the City of Marysville, would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the service, program or activity of Pedestrian Rights of Way in the City of Marysville. If the City claims that any action otherwise required by this Transition Plan would constitute a Fundamental Alteration, the City shall have to demonstrate that such alteration would result, and the decision that an action would constitute a Fundamental Alteration must be made by the City Engineer, or his or her designee, after considering all funds available for such work, and must be accompanied by a written statement of the reasons for reaching that conclusion.
Mobility Disability: "Mobility Disability" means and refers, with respect to an individual, to any physical or mental impairment or condition that substantially limits an individual's ability to move his or her body or a portion of his or her body and includes, but is not limited to, orthopedic and neuromotor disabilities and any other impairment or condition that limits an individual's ability to walk, maneuver around objects, ascend or descend steps or slopes, and operate controls. An individual with a Mobility Disability may use a wheelchair or motorized scooter for mobility, or may be Semi-Ambulatory.
Pedestrian Rights of Way: "Pedestrian Rights of Way" means and refers to all sidewalks over which the City of Marysville has responsibility or authority as well as all Curb Ramps and crosswalks serving such sidewalks and any other pathways used by pedestrians along public rights of way, including pedestrian pathways through public parking lots.
Statutory Defenses: "Statutory Defenses" means and refers to the City's right to assert under this Transition Plan that removal of any barrier or installation of a Compliant Curb Ramp is not required because such barrier removal or curb ramp installation would be Technically Infeasible, or Structurally Impracticable, or that it would constitute an Undue Burden or Fundamental Alteration.
Structurally Impracticable: Structurally Impracticable means and refers to circumstances in which the unique characteristics of terrain prevent the incorporation of accessibility features. If it is structurally impracticable to provide full access at any location along pedestrian rights of way, the City shall comply with access requirements to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable to do so. (See ADAAG § 4.1.1(5) (a)).
Technically Infeasible: "Technically Infeasible" means, with respect to an alteration of a building, facility or Pedestrian Right of Way, that it has little likelihood of being accomplished because existing physical orsite constraints or a lack of public right of way prohibit modification or addition of elements, spaces, or features which are in full and strict compliance with the minimum requirements for new construction and which are necessary to provide accessibility (See ADAAG § 4.1.6(1)0)).
Third Party Entity: "Third-Party Entity" means an entity other than the City of Marysville that controls certain barriers or elements of barriers in a Pedestrian Rights of Way. Transit agencies and local utilities are examples of Third Party Entities.
Title 24: "Title 24" means and refers to the regulations set forth at Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations.
Undue Burden: "Undue Burden" means and refers to an action that, if taken by the City of Marysville, would result in an undue financial and administrative burden. In order to demonstrate that removal of a barrier would constitute an Undue Burden, the decision must be made by the City Engineer, or his or her designee, after considering all resources available from the Advisory Committee Fund, and any other source of funding identified in this Agreement available for removal of sidewalk barriers, and must be accompanied by a written statement of the reasons for reaching that conclusion. In preparing such a statement, the City Engineer or designee may consider the usability of the existing facilities.
IV.ADA ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The City of Marysville will establish an ADA Advisory Committee ("Advisory Committee") comprised of representatives from City government and Marysville residents. The Committee will meet periodically to discuss issues related to disability and access. If the ADA Advisory Committee is disbanded or becomes inactive at any time during the life of this Transition Plan, the responsibilities of the ADA Advisory Committee under this Transition Plan, as set forth below, will be assigned to its successor, if any, or to the Public Works Director.
The ADA Advisory Committee is charged with specific responsibilities under this Transition Plan related to barrier removal and access along the City's Pedestrian Rights of Way. For the life of this Transition Plan, the ADA Advisory Committee, or its successor, shall have ongoing responsibility for the following:
1. Selection and Prioritization of Barrier Removal Projects The Advisory Committee shall make recommendations regarding barrier removal projects to be prioritized and funded from the Advisory Committee Fund annually. The recommendations of the Advisory Committee shall be submitted to the Public Works Director for review and approval.
The Public Works Director shall have final authority over the approval and authorization of projects; however the Public Works Director will not unreasonably disregard the recommendations of the Advisory Committee.
a. Barriers to beaddressed
The Advisory Committee Fund may be used for the following projects: (1) Installing Compliant Curb Ramps, including Detectable Warnings (at intersections where there are no curb ramps or where existing curb ramps do not meet current access standards); (2) Removing abrupt changes of level, whether caused by tree roots or any other deterioration or displacement of the surface of the Pedestrian Rights of Way; (3) Providing accessible crosswalks (by providing appropriate contrasting striping, developing or maintaining a policy concerning audible pedestrian signals, providing accessible pedestrian crossing controls, and removing any abrupt changes in level affecting the path of travel across the street; crosswalk access does not require any effort to remove slopes or cross slopes consistent with the slope of the street for vehicle traffic and/or drainage); (4) Removing obstacles in the Pedestrian Rights of Way that narrow the pedestrian pathway to less than 32 inches; (5) Removing or providing Detectable Warnings for overhanging obstacles below 80 inches above the pedestrian rights of way that are not detectible to a blind pedestrian using a cane; and (6) Removing excessive cross slopes perpendicular to the primary direction of travel along the pedestrian rights of way, whether caused by driveways crossing the Pedestrian Right of Way or by any other reason. b. General Prioritization Standards
The following general principles shall be used by the ADA Advisory Committee and the Public Works Director to prioritize projects to be funded through the Advisory Committee Fund.
Requests for installation of a Compliant Curb Ramp or removal of a specific barrier or barriers shall have the highest priority. After requests , priority will be given to Pedestrian Rights of Way serving (1) state and local government offices and facilities; (2) important transportation corridors; (3) places of public accommodation such as commercial and business zones; (4) facilities containing employers; and (5) other areas such as residential neighborhoods and undeveloped regions of the City. In all planned projects, consideration will also be given to the severity of existing barriers and overall efficiency of project work. The Advisory Committee and the Public Works Director have discretion to authorize the removal of barriers in lower priority categories before removing barriers in higher priority categories if they deem such prioritization to be a more effective or efficient use of barrier removal resources. c. Annual Selection Process
Every year, the Advisory Committee shall select and prioritize a list of barrier removal projects no later than 60 days after the beginning of the new fiscal year. This list will be provided to the Public Works Director, who will approve a final list no later than 90 days after the beginning of the new fiscal year. The list of barrier removal projects approved by the Public Works Director will be included in the Annual Report. The list of barrier removal projects may be revised by the Public Works Director, in consultation with the ADA Advisory Committee, during the course of the fiscal year.
d. Limitations on Barrier Removal
Under no circumstances will the City be obligated to remove any barrier if removal of such barrier would create an Undue Burden or a Fundamental Alteration, or if removal of such barrier would be Technically Infeasible or Structurally Impracticable. To the extent that the City determines that it would be an Undue Burden or Fundamental Alteration to remove a particular barrier, or that removal of a particular barrier would be Technically Infeasible or Structurally Impracticable, it must include such a determination in its regular reports as set forth below. Further, under no circumstances will the City be obligated to initiate eminent domain proceedings against a property owner in order to address any barrier. e. Barriers Under Control of Third Party Entities
Certain barriers in the Pedestrian Right of Way involve elements under the control of entities other than the City of Marysville. The City has no right or obligation to remove such barriers unilaterally. The City may, but has no obligation to, seek funding or participation in barrier removal work from such third party entities, which may include transit agencies, local utilities, or other entities that maintain equipment in the Pedestrian Rights of Way. Any contribution of money for barrier removal work by third party entities or any work done by such third party entities to remove barriers will be in addition to the work done based on the other obligations set forth in this Transition Plan. Money from the Advisory Committee Fund may be appropriated to supplement work performed under this section at the discretion of the Advisory Committee and the City Engineer.
2. Community Outreach Program
The Advisory Committee shall develop and oversee the City's Community Outreach Program. The Community Outreach Program shall be designed to seek input from the public regarding the City's ongoing barrier removal efforts. As part of its Community Outreach Program, the ADA Advisory Committee will hold annual community meetings for the first two years of the Compliance Period to discuss the City's Transition Plan and to help further identify new and existing physical barriers to access along the City's Pedestrian Rights of Way. After the first two years of the Compliance Period, the ADA Advisory Committee may hold additional community meetings at its discretion, but in no instance shall it go more than five years without holding such a community meeting.
V. FUNDING
1. Advisory Committee Fund
The City will dedicate the equivalent of 5% of its annual gas tax revenue (Sections 2105 and 2106) or a minimum of $5,000 (whichever is greater), to a fund used exclusively to install Compliant Curb Ramps or remove barriers in the Pedestrian Rights of Way (including
sidewalks and pedestrian pathways in public parking lots). This fund will be known as the "Advisory Committee Fund." All work described in this Transition Plan shall be paid for through this fund with the exception of work done in conjunction with street overlays and reconstruction, work done using dedicated funding, and work affecting barriers under the control of third party entities. Projects using the money from this fund will be selected by the City's ADA Advisory Committee with reference to the general guidelines set forth in this Transition Plan and with approval of the Public Works Director. Upon joint determination by the ADA Advisory Committee and the Public Works Director that all necessary Compliant Curb ramps have been installed and barriers have been removed at all required locations, the funding under this Paragraph shall no longer be required.
2. Leveraging Additional Funding Sources and City Programs The Advisory Committee shall confer with the City's ADA Coordinator a minimum of one time per year to assess how to best leverage additional City funds, if any, and/or additional City Programs, if any, that can be used to install Compliant Curb Cuts or remove barriers along the City's Pedestrian Rights of Way.
3. Additional Funding
If any new, permanent, transportation funding source for street maintenance is created during the life of this Transition Plan (through a ballot measure or otherwise), 5% of this additional revenue source or the equivalent will also be dedicated to the Advisory Committee Fund.
4. Annual Exhaustion of Advisory Committee Fund
The City contemplates that the amount of the Advisory Committee Fund will be allowed to accrue until a minimum of $25,000 is available for expenditure on a project at one time in order to maximize the amount of work that can be accomplished. Any funds not used in any given fiscal year(s) will be carried over into the succeeding year(s). Any expenditure(s) that exceed the amount of money in the Fund in a given fiscal year(s) will be credited in the succeeding fiscal year(s). In the event that the City allocates funds in excess of the annual obligation to the Advisory Committee Fund in any given year, such excess funds will be credited toward its future obligations in each succeeding fiscal year. However, in no year shall the City allocate less than $3,000 to the Advisory Committee Fund. If the Transition Plan is terminated early based on a petition by the City that it has otherwise met its financial obligations, this annual minimum allocation requirement shall also cease.
VI. RIGHT OF WAY ACCESSIBILITY
1. Street Overlays and Reconstruction
Each time the City overlays or reconstructs a street, it will, subject to the availability of funding, ensure that Compliant Curb Ramps are installed at each intersection as part of the overlay project.
This requirement does not pertain to slurry seals, cape seals, or base failure repairs. The Advisory Committee Fund shall contribute up to 50% of this Compliant Curb Ramp work.
2. Dedicated Funding
If the City obtains dedicated funding for any additional street overlays or reconstruction, it will ensure that Compliant Curb Ramps are installed at each intersection as part of the overlay or reconstruction project. If the City obtains dedicated funding for redevelopment work that includes complete removal and reconstruction of a section of Pedestrian Right of Way, the City will ensure that the reconstructed sidewalk is accessible, sub je c t to all available defenses. This work will be in addition to the work supported by the Advisory Committee Fund.
3. City Monitoring of New Permitted Development and Alterations The City will monitor all permitted construction work approved after the Effective Date of this Transition Plan affecting the Pedestrian Rights of Way to ensure that it conforms to the requirements set forth in this Transition Plan. In any location where an access feature required under the terms of this Transition Plan does not fully conform to access standards, and where the City claims that full compliance is not required due to any Statutory Defense, the City's explanation of its determination that full access is not required will be included and explained in the next Annual Report.
4. City Monitoring of Permitted Work to Existing Driveways The City will monitor all permitted work for existing driveways. The City will not approve any permit to modify an existing driveway that would create an unreasonable cross-slope or worsen an existing cross-slope within the path of travel along Pedestrian Rights of Way.
5. Sidewalk Maintenance Program
Under Marysville Municipal Code Title 8-1.08, property owners are currently required to maintain their sidewalks in such a way that they do not impede public access, pose a safety hazard, endanger persons or property, or interfere with public convenience. If repairs are required, the property owner can either do the work or hire a licensed contractor. When private property owners fail to fix problem sidewalks after being notified by the City, the City may make required repairs and place a lien on the property owner's lot or lots to recoup costs, if necessary.
6. Preventative Efforts to Deter Movable Barriers
Subject to its discretionary authority under the provisions of California Government Code § 818.2, the City will take reasonable steps to prevent or deter the placement of movable barriers on sidewalks, which may, but need not include conducting public information campaigns through mailers, providing community information, and utilizing other avenues of communication recommended by the Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee may consult with the City's Code Enforcement personnel to increase public awareness of issues related to access along the City's Pedestrian Rights of Way. The Advisory Committee may, at its discretion, recommend use of Advisory Committee Funds to promote increased awareness of disability access issues within the community.
7. Slurry Seal Requirement
The City will include in any slurry sealing work or cape sealing work it performs, a requirement to look for excessive build up which can create an inaccessible "lip" in the curb ramp area and will grind down any such lips subject to the City's claim that such work is subject to any Statutory Defenses.
VII. REPORTS AND MONITORING
1. Annual Report
At the conclusion of each fiscal year until the end of the Compliance Period, the City shall provide a report ("Annual Report") to the City Council describing the actual work done to implement this Transition Plan during the previous twelve months and a prospective plan of projects the City plans on undertaking to improve access to Pedestrian Rights of Way in the upcoming year. The Annual Report will be completed within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the end of the fiscal year and will include:
1. A summary or listing of all written complaints or requests for removal of particular barriers received since the prior report, including information specifying whether the City has taken action to remove the barrier.
2. Summaries of work done to ensure access and/or remove access barriers in conjunction with asphalt overlay projects, projects completed with Dedicated Funds and projects completed with the Advisory Committee Fund.
3. A list of all barriers, if any, for which the City asserts that it has a Statutory Defense excusing installation of a Compliant Curb Ramp or removal of an access barrier. If the City asserts that it has a Statutory Defense that limits its ability to remove a barrier or to install a Curb Ramp that meets all current standards, the City will include in the report a written statement by the City Engineer (or his or her designee) providing the reasons for reaching that conclusion. To the extent that the City claims that installation of a fully compliant Curb Ramp or removal of an existing barrier would be an Undue Burden, the written statement will include his or her consideration of all resources available from the Advisory Committee Fund and any other source of funding set forth in this Agreement as available for the removal of access barriers.
4. Information regarding the removal of barriers along the Pedestrian Rights of Way from the City Engineer.
5. Information describing efforts made by the City or Advisory Committee to leverage additional programs or funding sources to install Compliant Curb Ramps or remove access barriers in the Pedestrian Rights of Way.
6. Information regarding efforts at Community Outreach, and any action being taken as a result of such community outreach.
7. Information documenting all barrier removal efforts accomplished in conjunction with Third Parties (such as utility companies).
8. A prospective plan of projects for the upcoming year based on the priority recommendations of the City's ADA Advisory Committee; and approved by the Public Works Director his/her designee.
9. A Monitoring Report, as described below, for the first three years of the Compliance Period.
2. Monitoring Report
The City of Marysville will utilize a Registered Professional Civil Engineer who is either employed by the Public Works Department or designated by the Public Works Director ("The Engineer") to monitor the City's compliance with this Transition Plan for a period of three years from the date of execution. The Engineer will annually inspect 8-10% of the locations within the Pedestrian Rights of Way at which barriers have been removed to ensure that such barrier removal is completed properly within acceptable tolerances. Such inspections will determine whether there are remaining barriers at sites that were identified as having all barriers removed, or whether barrier removal work was completed properly. The Engineer will annually produce a report ("Monitoring Report") containing his or her findings to the City. The Monitoring Report may be prepared in conjunction with or as part of the Annual Report at the discretion of the Public Works Director.

Service Animal
The ADA defines a service animal as any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. If they meet this definition, animals are considered service animals under the ADA regardless of whether they have been licensed or certified by a state or local government. Service animals perform some of the functions and tasks that the individual with a disability cannot perform for him or herself. Some of the typical uses of service animals are:
• Guiding persons with visual impairments;
• Alerting persons with hearing impairments to sounds;
• Pulling wheelchairs or carrying and picking up things for persons with mobility impairments; or
• Assisting persons with mobility impairments to maintain their balance.
Although a number of states have programs to certify service animals, agencies or businesses may not insist on proof of state certification before permitting the service animal to accompany the person with a disability.
SETP
Acronym for Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan.
Substantial Limitation of Major Life Activities
An individual is disabled if she or he has a physical or mental impairment that:
• Renders her or him unable to perform a major life activity, or • Substantially limits the condition, manner, or duration under which she or he can perform a particular major life activity in comparison to other people.
Major life activities are functions such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working.
In determining whether a physical or mental impairment substantially limits the condition, manner, or duration under which an individual can perform a particular major life activity in comparison to other people, the following factors shall be considered:
• The nature and severity of the impairment;
• The duration or expected duration of the impairment; and • The permanent or long-term impact (or expected impact) of or resulting from the impairment.
TDD
A Telecommunication Device for the Deaf allows a person to transmit typed messages over the phone lines to another person with a TDD. Most TDD's include a keyboard for typing messages to send and a display and/or printer to receive messages.
TTY
TTY stands for Text Telephone and is a registered trademark for a specific kind of TDD.
