Attachment K: Programs in Existing Facilities

 

Please Note: Paragraph 49 of the Agreement requires that within three months of the effective date of this Agreement, the city will provide signage as necessary to comply with 28 C.F.R. § 35.163(b), after having surveyed all facilities that are the subject of this Agreement for the purpose of identifying those that have multiple entrances not all of which are accessible.

 

The technical requirements and, where appropriate, the scoping requirements of the Standards are used as a guide for determining whether a program or activity held in an existing facility is "readily accessible to and usable by" persons with disabilities and for determining what changes are necessary to make this program or activity accessible if it continues to be provided in the existing facility in question.  See 28 C.F.R. §§ 35.150(b)(1), 35.151.

 

In order to ensure that each City program, service, and activity operating at a facility that is the subject of this Agreement, when viewed in its entirety, is readily accessible to and usable by persons with mobility impairments, the City will take the following actions:

 

1.         Within 24 months of the effective date of this Agreement, the City will complete the following modifications to the Southwest Swimming Pool:

 

a.         Parking:  Although the parking lot has a total of 88 parking spaces, including 5 spaces designated as reserved for persons with disabilities, not all of the designated accessible spaces have vertical signs complying with the Standards.  On the shortest accessible route to the accessible entrance, provide 1 van accessible space and 3 standard spaces designated as reserved for people with disabilities.  Ensure that standard accessible spaces are a minimum of 96 inches wide and served by access aisles at least 60 inches wide.  Ensure that van accessible spaces are a minimum of 96 inches wide and served by access aisles at least 96 inches wide.  At all spaces designated as reserved for persons with disabilities, provide vertical signs with the International Symbol of Accessibility located such that they cannot be obstructed by parked vehicles.  At van accessible spaces, provide an additional "Van-Accessible" sign located below the International Symbol of Accessibility.  Ensure that all spaces and access aisles for persons with disabilities are flat and level, with slopes and cross-slopes not exceeding 1:50 in all directions, and that their surfaces are firm, stable, and slip-resistant.  Standards §§ 4.1.2(5), 4.6, 4.30.7(1).

 

b.         Accessible Route from Parking to Entrance:  The route from the designated accessible parking spaces to the pool entrance is inaccessible because the slope to the curb cut exceeds 1:12. Provide a curb ramp that is at least 36 inches wide, has a maximum slope of 1:12, is located so that it cannot be obstructed by parked vehicles, and has a stable, firm, and slip-resistant surface with a detectable warning extending the full width and depth of the ramp.  If the curb ramp is located where pedestrians must walk across it, provide either flared sides (with a maximum slope of 1:10) or handrails or guardrails to protect against cross traffic.  Standards § 4.3.8, 4.7, Fig. 12.

 

c.         Counters

 

i.          The ticket counter to the left of the entrance is inaccessible because the top of the counter is 42 ½ inches above the finished floor.  Provide a counter on an accessible route such that a portion of the counter is at least 36 inches wide and no more than 36 inches above the finished floor, or provide an auxiliary counter with a maximum height of 36 inches in close proximity to the main counter, or provide equivalent facilitation.  Equivalent facilitation may be provided in the form of a folding shelf attached to the main counter, an auxiliary table nearby, a clip board made available to the public, or other means.  Standards §§ 7.2(2), 4.3.

 

ii.         The concessions counter near the kiddie pool is inaccessible because its top is 41 inches above the finished floor.  Provide a counter on an accessible route such that a portion of the counter is at least 36 inches wide and no more than 36 inches above the finished floor.  Standards §§ 7.2(1), 4.3.

iii.       Golf Carts

 

(1)       Although there are golf carts for public use at this facility, none are accessible to persons who use wheelchairs.  The next time that golf carts are purchased, the City will acquire at least one accessible golf cart to provide program access.   Additionally, the City will implement policies to ensure the accessible cart's availability to persons with disabilities.  These will include, for example, allowing persons with disabilities to reserve the cart or use it without reservations; renting out the accessible golf cart to non-disabled users only when all other carts are in use; charging the same for the use of the accessible cart as for the use of others; and maintaining it in good condition.  The accessible cart may be used by non-disabled golfers when consistent with the policies set out above.  28 C.F.R. § 36.202(b).
