DISABILITY
Americans With Disabilities Act - City Compliance With The Law
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 is a comprehensive Federal civil law that
prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities. The Act requires the city to designate an
ADA Coordinator who coordinates the city's ADA compliance efforts. The Act also requires the
city to provide individuals with disabilities equal access to city programs, meetings, activities, and
services. Modifications to city policies and/or physical structures are necessary for the city to
accomplish this. If you have questions, concerns or complaints involving any city services or facilities, please contact the City Manager's office at 388-5307, weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Emergency Planning For People With Disability
Create a network of neighbors, relatives, friends and co-workers to aid you in an emergency. Discuss with them your needs and make sure they know how to operate any necessary equipment. If you live in an apartment building, ask the management to mark accessible exits clearly and to make arrangements to help you evacuate the building.
Keep extra wheelchair batteries, oxygen, catheters, medication, food for guide or hearing-ear dogs, or other items you might need. Also, keep a list of the type and serial numbers of medical devices you need.
Individuals With Disabilities Attending A City Sponsored Meeting
If you plan to attend a public meeting or activity sponsored by the City of Camarillo and, due to a disability, require assistance in order to understand or participate in the meeting, please notify the City Clerk's office as soon as possible and no later than eight hours in advance and every effort will be made to provide the assistance that you require. Please call 388-5353 if you have a telecommunication device for the hearing and/or speech impaired or if you have need for other access assistance.
