Rochelle Callis CRPD Therapeutic Recreation Program Final Report and Recommendations September 8, 2017 page 27 We always recommend that this be an employee high in the organization chart, with authority (both informal and formal) to direct other staffs in the District. It appears logical to appoint one of the Managers. We defer to the District on that decision. Whomever the District selects, that employee should rely heavily on the Therapeutic Recreation Program staff. PROJECTED FISCAL IMPACT: if CRPD names a current employee, there is no additional human resources cost. There will be training time, and we believe training for this employee is essential. We project fiscal impact at $5,000 in year one. 2. Revise the brochure, both online and print versions, to comply with the ADA title !135.106 Notice requirement. The requirement compels the District to note how the District will protect the ADA civil rights of a person with a disability. The language will invite people with disabilities to use CRPD programs, sites, and facilities, and to make requests for reasonable modifications. PROJECTED FISCAL IMPACT: We project fiscal impact at $2,000 in year one. 3. Establish an internal complaint process for disputes regarding accessibility and inclusion. A search of the CRPD website reveals "NO RESULTS" when searching for ADA Internal Complaint procedure. This system shall provide prompt and effective resolution of complaints. In ADA title 11 35.107, this process is required for entities with 50 or more employees. PROJECTED FISCAL IMPACT: CRPD should consult with its own attorney on this subject. There are many free of cost examples of this process. We project fiscal impact at legal fees only. 4. Continue to implement phased retrofits at existing parks and facilities assets, as required by ADA title 11 35.105. Parks and planning staffs assure that the design and construction of new sites complies with the ADA and California requirements. Parks and planning staffs also adhere to the Capital Improvement Plan, which incorporates access retrofits. PROJECTED FISCAL IMPACT. we have not seen the current retrofit plan. We cannot project fiscal impact. 5. Document the implementation of the 35.150(d) transition plan, phasing the retrofit work at parks and facilities, after the access audit. We typically see these transition plans extend for a ten-year period. The transition plan must identify every access deficit at every site, a solution for every deficit, the person responsible for barrier removal, and the date by which barrier removal occurs. Additionally, we recommend that a cost reference for retrofit be included. THE W -T GR 1 - DBA RECREATION ACCESSIBILITY CONSULT � ONE SOURCE. INFINITE SOLUTIONS,
