The City of Sunnyvale does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities in compliance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).

City Facilities

The City of Sunnyvale strives to make City facilities accessible to all visitors. In support of this goal, City facilities are consistently upgraded to comply with changing ADA requirements. Complaints that a program, service or activity of the City is not accessible to persons with disabilities should follow the complaint procedure.

Employment

The City does not discriminate based on 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 ADA and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.

Effective Communication

The City will also provide effective communication support to allow equal participation. Accommodations may include qualified sign language interpreters or documents in Braille.

Request Accommodation

Upon request, the City will provide reasonable accommodation to qualified persons with disabilities to ensure equal access. For example, service animals are permitted in public access areas where pets are generally prohibited.

Anyone requiring accommodation should contact the ADA Coordinator (contact information below) as soon as possible. The City cannot guarantee an accommodation if you make a request less than 48 hours before the scheduled activity. The City will not place a surcharge on a particular individual with a disability or any group of individuals with disabilities to cover the costs of accommodations, such as the provision of auxiliary aids or program accessibility modifications.
