Kapff, Assistant to Village Manager SUBJECT: Revenue Sharing - Handicapped Discrimination Requirements The Federal Office of Revenue Sharing requires governments receiving any revenue sharing funds to comply with specific regulations governing provision of govern- mental services to handicapped individuals. The basic requirements are as follows: 1) Designation of a program coordinator/office and initial notice of local policy against handicapped discrimination. This step only applies to governments receiving $25,000 or more on an annual basis. The Village of Oak Brook, in fiscal year 1983/84, received approximately $40,000 in revenue sharing funds. We are required to designate a responsbile employee and/or office which will handle complaints with the handicapped discrimination requirements. We must also publish notice by January 17, 1984 to advise the public, job applicants and employees of our policy against handicapped discrimination. This notice must: a) Include a statement that the government does not discriminate on the basis of handicapped status in the provision of its programs, services, and personnel practices. b) Include the name of the program coordinator/responsible employee designated to coordinate the implementation of the handicapped discrimination require- ments. c) Use methods of notification which insure that visually impaired and hearing impaired persons will have access to the information. I 2) Adoption of a grievance procedure. Governments receiving more than $25,000 on I an annual basis must adopt a grievance procedure by October 17, 1984 to insure proper review of any complaints alleging handicapped discrimination. This procedure must incorporate appropriate due process standards and must include: t i L -RE: Revenue Sharing-Handicapped Discrimination Requirements September 18, 1984 Page 2 a) A publicly available description of the procedures for the submission of the grievance. b) Reasonable time table for review and resolution of the grievance. c) Procedures for appeal.- c) Provisions for record keeping. It should be noted that we could utilize any existing grievance procedure instead of creating a new procedure solely for the resolution of handicapped discrimination complaints. 3) Conducting the self-evaluation. This step applies to all governmental bodies and requires us to evaluate all of our programs, services, activities, policies and practices to determine any areas of non-compliance with the handicapped discrimination requlations not later than October 17, 1984. This self- evaluation must include an examination of: a) Employment and personnel policies and practices. b) The extent to which programs and activities are readily accessible and usable by the handicapped. c) The extent to which the delivery of benefits and services are free from discriminatory effects on the handicapped. d) The extent to which contractual arrangements are free from subjecting handicapped persons to discrimination. Any necessary modifications to the above items must be implemented by October 17, 1984. 4) Preparing a transition plan. This step applies to all governments but only when structural modifications are necessary to make programs accessible. This transition plan must: a) Identify physical obstacles in the government's facilities that limit the accessibility of its programs to handicapped persons. b) Describe in detail methods that will be used to make the facilities accessible. c) Specify a schedule to achieve full program compliance. d) Indicate the person responsible for implementing the plan. All structural changes must be completed no later than October 17, 1986. I 5) Record keeping requirements. Governments receiving more than $25,000 in revenue sharing funds on an annual basis are required to maintain a file containing: RE: Revenue Sharing-Handi_e ped Discrimination Requirement"' September 18, 1984 Page 3 a) A list of the self-evaluation committee and other interested persons contacted. b) A description of the policies and practices examined and the problems identified. c) A description of the modifications made and remedial steps taken.

Earlier this year, goverrm-ents were notified that if they receive $25,000.00 or more in revenue sharing, they must submit a plan demonstrating a local policy against handicapped discrimination. Also due on this date was the Transition Plan. This plan identifies physical obstacles that limit participation by the handicapped in services and activities of the governaIent. These obstacles must be resroved by October 17, 1986. Nobility Consultants, Inc. , has been providing services to cam mities and handicapped citizens for over 25 years. Our staff includes professionals in architecture, rehabilitation medicine, medical equipment, accessibility, and law.
