Americans With Disabilities Act

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability.   Enforcement of the ADA is the responsibility of the U.S. Department of Justice.  The City of Salina is committed to ensuring that persons with disabilities have access to City services, programs, activities and facilities.

Title II of the ADA

Title II of the ADA lays out responsibilities for Local Government Access. The City of Salina is committed to ensuring that persons with disabilities have access to City services, programs, activities and facilities. 

Examples of responsibilities include, but not limited to:

  • Nondiscrimination: Aids, benefits and services provided to persons with disabilities must be equal to those provided to persons without disabilities.
  • Reasonable Modifications: Must reasonably modify any policies, practices and/or procedures to avoid disability discrimination. 
  • Program Accessibility: Must ensure that their services, program, and activities are readily accessible to use and usable by individuals with disabilities. 
  • Personal Services and Devices: Public entities are not required by Title II to provide personal devices, such as wheelchairs; individually prescribed devices, such as prescription glasses or hearing aids; or services of a personal nature, such as assistance in eating to individuals with disabilities.

Disability discrimination under Title I (Employment) and Title III (Public Accommodations) may be filed with the Community Relations Division under Chapter 13 of Salina City Code if the act occurred within the City of Salina. If you believe you have been discriminated by an employer or by a public accommodation, please complete an intake form. Complaints outside of City of Salina that fall under Title I and Title III of the ADA may be filed through the Kansas Human Rights Commission.
