Americans with Disabilities Act & Section 504

In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA") and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the City of Greeley (the "City") will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities.

The City will generally, upon request, provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for qualified persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in the City's programs, services, and activities, including qualified sign language interpreters, documents in Braille, and other ways of making information and communications accessible to people who have speech, hearing, or vision impairments.

The City will make all reasonable modifications to policies and programs to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy all of its programs, services, and activities.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II Grievance Procedure

Title II of the ADA extends the prohibition on discrimination established by section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 794, to all activities of State and local governments regardless of whether these entities receive Federal financial assistance. 
Accordingly, the following procedure has been made available to complainant and/or their designee who wishes to file a formal complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of disability in the provision of services, activities, programs, or benefits by the City of Greeley.  

Step 1: Submitting An ADA Grievance Form

Within 60 calendar days after the alleged violation, complainant and/or their designee shall submit a grievance form online or by mail/hand-deliver to the ADA Coordinator and provide as much detailed information pertaining to the alleged violation as possible. Please contact the ADA Coordinator via: 

If you would like a printed copy of the ADA Grievance form, please visit the ADA Coordinator’s office at City of Greeley, 1000 10th Street, Greeley, CO 8063, or call us at (970) 573-9455 and request one mailed to you. It is highly recommended that the complainant and/or their designee includes specific outcome/resolution they would like to suggest to the City of Greeley. 

Step 2: Meeting with ADA Coordinator

Within 15 business days after the complaint is received, the ADA Coordinator or their designee will arrange a meeting with the complainant or their designee to determine whether the complainant is an individual with documented disability under the ADA and to discuss options to address and resolve accessibility barrier(s). 

Step 3A: Determining Resolution

In the event the complainant and/or their designee and the City of Greeley’s ADA Coordinator or their designee mutually agree to a resolution, the ADA Coordinator or their designee will provide the complainant and/or their designee with a formal joint agreement in written format which generally includes the following key information: 

  • description of the occurrence(s) and supporting facts if applicable 
  • description of the resolution to which the complainant and/or their designee and the ADA Coordinator have agreed 
  • relevant information such as terms and conditions of the joint agreement as well as the timeline of the resolution  

The resolution is in effect only after the complainant and/or their designee signs their copy of the joint agreement and returns it to the ADA Coordinator. It is important that the complainant and/or their designee completes this task in a timely manner.  

Step 3B: Unable to Determine Resolution

In the event the complainant and/or their designee and the ADA Coordinator or their designee cannot mutually agree to a resolution, the ADA Coordinator will provide the complainant and/or their designee with a formal notice which generally includes:  

  • description of the occurrence(s) and supporting facts if applicable 
  • description of the proposed resolution to which the complainant and/or their designee and the ADA Coordinator or their designee did not agree 
  • if applicable, relevant information which addresses the reasons why all involved parties were not able to determine an agreeable resolution 

Next, the complainant and/or their designee may request to have their ADA Grievance Form submission and relevant documentation be further reviewed by the City’s Director of Risk and Compliance. Within 15 business days after receiving the request and relevant paperwork, the Director of Risk and Compliance will review all proposed resolution and decision before scheduling a follow-up meeting or provide the complainant and/or their designee with a final decision, whichever applicable. 
The City of Greeley will retain, for at least three years, all ADA Grievance Form submissions and relevant documentation as well as formal resolutions, notices, and applicable correspondence between all parties. 

Appeal

In the event the complainant and/or their designee does not satisfy with the decision made by the City’s Director of Risk and Compliance, they may wish to file an appeal with the City’s Chief People Officer
