In accordance with Title II of the ADA, when viewed in their entirety, City of Lake Worth Beach programs, services, activities and facilities are readily accessible to and usable by qualified individuals with disabilities.

Effective Communication: The City will generally, upon request, provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for qualified persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in the City’s programs, services, and activities, including qualified sign language interpreters, accessible documents, and other ways of making information and communications accessible to people who have speech, hearing, or vision disabilities.
Modifications to Policies and Procedures: The City will make all reasonable modifications to policies and programs to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy all City programs, services, and activities.

Complaints that a City program, service, activity or facility is not accessible to persons with disabilities should be directed to the ADA Coordinator.
The City will not place a surcharge on a particular individual with a disability or any group of individuals with disabilities to cover the cost of providing auxiliary aids/services or reasonable modifications of policy, such as retrieving items from locations that are open to the public but are not accessible to persons who use wheelchairs.
