Accessibility & Accommodations
In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as amended (ADA), the City of Lenexa will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities.
Employment
The City does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its hiring or employment practices. It also follows all regulations of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under Title I of the ADA.
Effective communication
The City, upon request of at least 48 hours in advance of a scheduled event, will make every effort to provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for qualified persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in the City of Lenexa’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.
Modifications to policies and procedures
The City will make 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. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity of the City should contact the following as soon as possible, but no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event:
Mike Nolan ADA Coordinator/Assistant City Manager

Phone: 913.477.7550
Fax: 913.477.7639

The ADA does not require the City to take any action that would fundamentally alter the nature of its programs or services or impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City.
Complaints that a program, service or activity of the City of Lenexa is not accessible to persons with disabilities should be directed to the ADA Coordinator listed above.
The City will not place a surcharge on a particular individual with a disability or any group of individuals with disabilities to cover the cost of providing auxiliary aids/services or reasonable modifications of policy, such as retrieving items from locations that are open to the public but are not accessible to persons who use wheelchairs.
