ADA Coordinator Position
At a glance
- What: Speakers on October 13, 2026 said the City has no ADA coordinator, which they argue the law requires, and that city accessibility processes (including the online public input hub) are inadequate. Staff reportedly told a city commission on October 7 the position is not funded, and later that another engineer would be the point of contact without a change in pay or specification (per a commenter; unverified).
- Where it stands: Raised only in public comment during the salary items and open comment; no council response in the captions. Speakers asked the council to fund the position and have the City Auditor review the issue.
- Related: several salary increases were approved the same afternoon (see City Treasurer Salary Increase, City Auditor Salary Increase, City Clerk Salary Increase); a speaker said the optics are poor given budget was cited as the reason for not filling the position.
- Other claims (unverified): a speaker said an accessibility grievance was ignored and that an assistant city manager compared ADA grievances to a pothole complaint.
