ADA POLICY & PROCEDURE POLICY
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act (ADAAA) are federal laws that require employers with 15 or more employees to not discriminate against applicants and individuals with disabilities and, when needed, to provide reasonable accommodations to applicants and employees who are qualified for a job, with or without reasonable accommodations, so that they may perform the essential job duties of the position.
It is the City of La Junta’s policy to comply with all federal and state laws concerning the employment of persons with disabilities and to act in accordance with regulations and guidance issued by the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Furthermore, it is the organization’s policy not to discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities in regard to application procedures, hiring, advancement, discharge, compensation, training or other terms, conditions and privileges of employment.
Equal Employment Opportunity and Unlawful Harassment
City of La Junta is dedicated to the principles of equal employment opportunity. We prohibit unlawful discrimination against applicants or employees on the basis of age 40 and over, race (including traits historically associated with race, such as hair texture and length and protective hairstyles), sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, disability, military status, genetic information, marital status, or any other status protected by applicable state or local law.
ADA Title II
City of La Junta is committed to complying with all Federal Americans with Disabilities (ADA) regulations as well as the State of Colorado accessibility requirements. In 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed by Congress and signed into law. This civil rights legislation entitles, among other requirements, persons with disabilities equal opportunity to participate in society. As such, public agencies, like the City of La Junta, are required by law to provide the necessary ADA-compliant equipment and accommodations.
Title VI
City of La Junta is committed to ensuring that no individual is excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of its programs, activities or services, or subject to discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin as per the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.
Toward this end, City of La Junta’s departments and employees are responsible for carrying out the commitment to non-discrimination including the requirements of Title VI.
This includes the following:
- To ensure that the level and quality of services are provided to all;
- To promote full and fair participation in decision making;
- To ensure meaningful access to programs and activities by persons with limited English proficiency;
- To identify and address, as appropriate, the human health, social, economic and environmental effects of the City of La Junta’s programs and activities on all populations.
