What the ADA Plan is and the Title Six <br /> (VI) Plan is a blueprint for the City to remove barriers to those that are disabled. Both in City <br /> facilities which include buildings, streets and sidewalks and also City employment, programs, <br /> services and other activities in the City. In addition, the Title Six (VI) component is a broader <br /> portion and that applies to non-discrimination. Again, it's a blueprint for the City's assurance of <br /> non-discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender <br /> identity, age, military status, English proficiency, or income status. No discrimination based on <br /> any of those factors. City services and programs include things like this meeting,itself. It includes <br /> all the things we normally think, of which recreational activities are. It includes educational <br /> programs that we may sponsor. It includes the collection of utility bills. Any time the City interacts <br /> with the public, we are doing a service, program or activity. <br /> INTEGRITY' SERVICE'ACCESSIBILITY <br /> JENNIFER M.COFFMMAN BIANCA L.TIRADO JOSEPH R.MOLNAR <br /> CIIIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Blvd.I South Bend,Indiana 46601 I p 574.235.9221 I f 574.235.9173 I www.southbendin.gov <br />
