SACOG ADA Grievance Procedure

As an agency serving the public, SACOG is required to comply with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), including the ADAAA, and ensure that services and benefits are provided on a non-discriminatory basis. SACOG has implemented this Grievance Procedure to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and ADAAA, which outlines a process for local disposition of ADA complaints and is consistent with guidelines found in the Federal Department of Justice Rules effective March 15, 2011.

This Grievance Procedure is established to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and ADAAA. It may be used by anyone who wishes to file a complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of disability in the provision of services, activities, programs, or benefits by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG). All complaints, requests for reconsideration, and appeals will be retained by SACOG for at least seven years. SACOG’s Personnel Policy governs employment-related complaints of disability discrimination.

The complaint procedure has five steps, outlined as follows:

1. Submission of Complaint: Any person who feels that he or she, individually, or as a member of any class of persons, on the basis disability status has been excluded from or denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under any program or activity through SACOG may file a written Complaint with SACOG’s ADA Coordinator either on-line or in hard copy. Such Complaint must be filed within 180 calendar days after the date the person believes the discrimination occurred. Alternative means of filing a Complaint will be made available to people with disabilities.

2. Referral to Review Officer: Upon receipt of a Complaint, the ADA Coordinator shall appoint one or more staff review officers, as appropriate, to evaluate and investigate the Complaint, in consultation with SACOG Legal Counsel. The staff review officer(s) shall complete their review no later than 60 calendar days after the date SACOG received the Complaint. If more time is required, the ADA Coordinator shall notify the Complainant of the estimated time-frame for completing the review. Upon completion of the review, the staff review officer(s) shall make a recommendation regarding the merit of the Complaint and whether remedial actions are available to provide redress. Additionally, the staff review officer(s) may recommend improvements to SACOG’s processes relative to the ADA, as appropriate.

If s/he concurs, s/he shall issue SACOG’s written response to the Complainant (or, where appropriate, in a format accessible to the Complainant, such as large print, Braille, or audio tape).

3. Request for Reconsideration: If the Complainant disagrees with SACOG’s response, he or she may request reconsideration by submitting the request, in writing, to the SACOG Executive Director within 10 calendar days after its receipt. Alternative means of filing a request for reconsideration will be available to people with disabilities who require such an alternative. The request for reconsideration shall be sufficiently detailed to contain any items the Complainant feels were not fully understood by the ADA Coordinator or staff review officer(s). The Executive Director will notify the Complainant of his or her decision either to accept or reject the request for reconsideration within 10 calendar days. In cases where the Executive Director agrees to reconsider, the matter shall be returned to the staff review officer(s) to re-evaluate in accordance with Paragraph 2, above.
