1. Complaints regarding handicapped resident access will be submitted in
writing to the City Administrator for resolution. A record will be
maintained of these complaints and action taken. A decision will be
rendered within 10 working days.
2. If the complaint cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the complainant
by the City Administrator, it will be forwarded to the "Handicapped
Resident Access Committee" composed of representatives from the following
groups in the community: the elected body, the handicapped, at -large re-
presentation and, finally, health/medical representation. The Handicapped
Resident Access Committee will be appointed by the Governing Body.
3. The Committee should be charged by the elected body to establish ground
rules or bylaws for hearing complaints, requests, or suggestions from
handicapped persons regarding access to public facilities, services,
activities, and functions in the community. Further, the committee
should be directed to hear such complaints in public after adequate
public notice, in an unbiased, objective manner, and to make a written
decision within 30 days of notification. Proceedings of the committee
should be recorded and maintained.
4. If the complaint cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the complainant

by the Governing Body discussed at an open, public meeting of the elected
body and a determination made within 30 days as to a decision on the
request or complaint. The decision of the Governing Body shall be final.
5. A record of action taken on each request or complaint must be maintained
as a part of the records or minutes at each level of the grievance process.
