Title II states, in part, that "no otherwise qualified disabled individual shall, solely by reason of such disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination" in programs or activities sponsored by a public entity. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE STEPS 1. For resolution of a problem, all complaints regarding access or alleged discrimination should be submitted in writing or verbally to: ADA Coordinator City Manager's Office 1830 E. County Road B Maplewood, MN 55109 770-4524 (TDD-770-4500) The complaint shall contain the name, address, and phone number of the complainant and shall briefly describe the alleged violation. 2. Upon receipt of the complaint, the ADA Coordinator will conduct such an investigation as may be necessary to determine the facts of the complaint. The ADA Coordinator will also determine whether or not the complaint is governed by Title II (public entities) of the ADA. If Title II has been violated, the ADA Coordinator will devise a plan which will address necessary modifications to City programs or activities. In most cases the ADA Coordinator will render a decision within fifteen (15) working days unless unusual circumstances require additional time. A copy of the ADA Coordinator's decision will be in writing and/or other appropriate method of communication. A copy of the determination will be sent by certified mail to the complainant. Arrangements for submission of the decision to a visually impaired complainant will be made. 3. If the complaint cannot be resolved by the ADA Coordinator to the satisfaction of the complainant, it will be forwarded to the ADA Grievance Committee at the complainant's written or verbal request. This committee will be composed of a minimum of two members from the City's Human Relations Commission plus a representative from the Seniors and Persons with Disabilities Committee. They will conduct an investigation of the facts of the complaint. Americans with Disabilities Act Grievance Procedure Page 2 A decision by the ADA Grievance Committee will be rendered within twenty-five (25) working days after the receipt of the complaint. Their decision will be in writing and/or other appropriate method of communication and will determine the validity of the complaint. The decision will also contain a description of the recommended modifications to programs or activities, if any, and a reasonable time frame for implementing the recommendation. A copy of their determination will be sent by certified mail to the complainant. Arrangements for submission of the recommendations to a visually impaired complainant will be made. 4. If the ADA Grievance Committee cannot resolve the complaint to the complainant's and/or the City's satisfaction, the complaint will be heard by the Maplewood City Council. The request for a hearing by the City Council shall be made in writing or verbally filed with the ADA Coordinator. The matter will be set for a hearing before the City Council at the Council's earliest practicable meeting. Following the hearing, the City Council will vote on the matter or they may vote to issue a written decision within fifteen (15) working days. The decision of the City Council is final. A copy of the approved minutes and/or the written decision will be sent by certified mail to the complainant. Arrangements for submission of the minutes/decision to a visually impaired complainant will be made. 5. The individual's right to a prompt and equitable resolution of the complaint will not be impaired by his/her pursuit of other remedies. The use of this grievance procedure is not a prerequisite to the pursuit of other remedies. This grievance procedure contemplates informal but thorough investigations affording all interested persons and their representatives, if any, an opportunity to submit evidence relevant to a complaint. This grievance procedure shall be construed to protect the substantive rights of interested persons, to meet appropriate due process standards, and to assure that the City of Maplewood complies with the ADA and any implementing regulations. A record of the complaint and the actions taken will be maintained for a minimum of the three (3) years. grieada.cwp
