SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:
Summary Recommendation
Adopt the updated ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan and Inventory, dated December 2025 (Engineering) (Dave Wostenberg)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
The updated ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan and Inventory (the Plan) supports the City Council’s Safe and Prosperous, Respected and Responsible, and Connected and Engaged strategic outcomes. The approved Plan will serve as a guide for the City of Yuma to improve access to the City’s facilities, programs, and services to individuals with disabilities.
REPORT:
Title II of the ADA requires that all programs, services, and activities (PSAs) of public entities provide equal access for individuals with disabilities. The purpose of the Plan is to provide the framework for achieving equal access to the City of Yuma’s facilities, programs, services, and activities within a reasonable timeframe.
The Plan for the City was developed in 2023 and included the establishment of an ADA Advisory Commission for the purpose of advising the City Administrator and City staff in matters pertaining to the needs and interests of, and the barriers impacting, the disabled community.
The City has appointed an ADA Coordinator who will be responsible for coordinating the City’s efforts to comply with ADA Title II and investigating any complaints related to potential violations of ADA Title II. The City also established a Grievance Policy, Procedure, and Form with Appeal Process for the ADA in January 2023.
The City is currently in the process of cataloging City-owned/maintained buildings and associated parking lots, parks and associated parking lots, park sidewalk and associated curb ramps, signalized intersections, and public rights-of-way sidewalks and associated curb ramps.
On February 10, 2026, the ADA Advisory Commission voted unanimously to recommend the Plan be adopted by the City Council.
