Prior to the start of each racing season, IMS will provide training to all of its employees and contractors who have direct and regular contact with IMS patrons, including the Safety Patrol and Guest Services Department. The education and training will include the accessibility requirements of the ADA and specifically include the requirement that individuals who use wheelchairs or other mobility aids and who hold proper credentials for entry into pit and/or garage areas be allowed to enter those areas in accordance with IMS’s established policies. With regard to employees, contractors, and volunteers who work temporarily during a single event, IMS will provide at a minimum, IMS’s policies concerning accessibility requirements under the ADA. The DOJ may elect to attend any of the training discussed herein. IMS shall keep records of the training sessions, including the training dates, the names of the attendees, and the names of the instructors for five years after the effective date of this Agreement. IMS shall make such training records available to the DOJ upon request.
Notwithstanding the above, if IMS determines to permanently close certain grandstands, or portions thereof, prior to the completion of the required modifications under this Agreement, it may request that DOJ revise its seating requirements under the Agreement. IMS agrees that any such revision of seating requirements will comply with the 2010 ADA Standards.
