The stair trac was introduced to the county and implemented
for the purpose of creating accessibility for the third floor of the
York County Courthouse. This mechanism will also be used throughout
the York County government facilities for emergency purposes.
In order to successfully implement this mechanism, the following
guidelines must be followed:
A. The stair trac is currently stored in the lounge on the third floor
of the York County Courthouse. The Courthouse Maintenance Department
is responsible for the maintenance and operation of this mechanism
in the Courthouse.
B. If accessibility is needed for any requests within the York County
Courthouse, a call must be made to the Court Administrator by the
elected official, department director, the individual requesting the
use of the stair trac or legal counsel representing the individual.
C. The Court Administrator will then provide the accessibility with
the assistance of the Courthouse Maintenance Department.
D. If another county facility wishes to use the stair trac, it must
request the use of the mechanism 24 hours prior to the meeting, hearing
or event from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Coordinator
at the Human Resources office. Emergency situations will be adhered
to immediately.
E. Only certain employees are certified to operate the stair trac. These
individuals will be operating the mechanism throughout the Courthouse
and the county upon request.
F. If additional employees need to be trained to operate the stair trac,
they will either be trained by a representative of the stair trac
or by another designated person.
G. If there are any changes or additions to the policy guidelines of
the stair trac, the policy will be edited, and each person authorized
to operate the mechanism, elected officials and department directors
and the ADA Steering Committee will be notified of the editions.
If there are any questions or comments, please call the ADA
Coordinator.
