SUMMARY:
This Resolution confirms the appointment by the Mayor of a member to serve a four-
year term expiring August 30, 2026.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
The Mayor has made appointments to the ADA Advisory Committee selecting
individuals to serve terms which expire during a calendar year. Amended City Charter

to confirmation by City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990 and
was amended most recently in January 2009. The ADA is a wide-ranging civil rights law
that prohibits discrimination based on disability. Disability is defined as "a physical or
mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity," such as walking, seeing,
hearing, breathing, thinking, socializing, and working, for example. The ADA includes a
list of impairments to major life activities. For more information about what the ADA
says, go to the ADA website.
Appointments for this committee are now being processed through the Mayor’s Office.
Following an announcement in the Chieftain and on the City’s website and social media
seeking volunteers to serve on this committee, an application was received.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
This a volunteer committee and members serve without compensation.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Committee recommends approval of this applicant.
