Employment: The City of Arvada does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its hiring or employment practices and complies with all regulations promulgated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Effective Communication: The City of Arvada will generally, upon request, provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in its programs, services, and activities.

Providing 72 hours’ advanced notice will help to ensure timely implementation. The ADA does not require the City of Arvada to take any action that would fundamentally alter the nature of its programs or services, or impose an undue financial or administrative burden. Complaints that an Arvada program, service, or activity is not accessible to persons with disabilities, or that they have been discriminated against based on a disability, may be filed with the City within 180 calendar days of the alleged violation. This process applies to all complaints filed under Title II of the ADA arising from any program, service, or activity of the City of Arvada or its sub-recipients.
