[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
East Troy12-16-2019 by Ord. No.
2019-19.[1] Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Village of East Troy, in complying with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. § 12101, will not discriminate
against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability
in all Village programs, activities, and services and does not discriminate
on the basis of disability in its hiring or employment practices.
An ADA Coordinator has been appointed. Concerns and/or complaints
can be addressed to the ADA Coordinator.
A grievance procedure has been adopted and is on file with the
Village Clerk.
If unresolved, the complainant or ADA Coordinator may ask that
the complaint be heard by the Village Board. The Village Board will
issue its written decision within 30 days. Review will be conducted
in public with a minimum twenty-four-hour notice. All proceedings
will be transcribed and maintained. The decision of the Board shall
be final. The Village Board will also review requests or suggestions
from disabled persons regarding access to and participation in public
facilities, services, activities and functions in the community.
The right of a person to a prompt and equitable resolution of
the complaint filed hereunder shall not be impaired by the person's
pursuit of other state or federal remedies. Utilization of this grievance
procedure is not a prerequisite to the pursuit of other remedies.
However, the Village believes that resolution of the complaint will
be more promptly achieved if the Village is able to provide a remedy
before the complaint is brought to an external organization.
This chapter shall be construed to protect the substantive rights
of interested persons and to meet appropriate due process standards.
