What: making documents and presentations posted on the City website accessible to people with disabilities, ahead of a federal deadline expected in April 2027.
Where it stands: Staff briefed the Council on November 5, 2026; no action was taken. Departments were told to submit remediation plans by November 20.
Next: Department plans due November 20; Council may consider a policy on going beyond the minimum legal standard.
Details
Built from the uploaded captions of the November 5 study session, which are rough in places; figures are uncertain.
The website itself was described as already compliant; the work is on documents, packets and presentations.
Approach: alternate formats on request, templates and training, legally required content first, older material labeled as archived.
Open questions raised: third-party vendor documents, boards and commissions, visibility of removed content, penalties, and splitting the agenda from its attachments.
