Attachment K: Programs in Existing Facilities
Please Note: Paragraph 49 of the Agreement requires that
within three months of the effective date of this Agreement, the city will
provide signage as necessary to comply with 28 C.F.R. § 35.163(b), after having
surveyed all facilities that are the subject of this Agreement for the purpose
of identifying those that have multiple entrances not all of which are
accessible.
The technical requirements and, where appropriate, the
scoping requirements of the Standards are used as a guide for determining
whether a program or activity held in an existing facility is “readily
accessible to and usable by” persons with disabilities and for determining what
changes are necessary to make this program or activity accessible if it
continues to be provided in the existing facility in question. See 28 C.F.R. §§ 35.150(b)(1), 35.151.
In order to ensure that each City program, service, and
activity operating at a facility that is the subject of this Agreement, when
viewed in its entirety, is readily accessible to and usable by persons with
mobility impairments, the City will take the following actions:
1. Within 24 months of the effective date
of this Agreement, the City will complete the following modifications to the Southwest Swimming Pool:
a. Parking: Although the parking lot has a total of 88 parking spaces,
including 5 spaces designated as reserved for persons with disabilities, not
all of the designated accessible spaces have vertical signs complying with the
Standards. On the shortest accessible
route to the accessible entrance, provide 1 van accessible space and 3 standard
spaces designated as reserved for people with disabilities. Ensure that standard accessible spaces are a
minimum of 96 inches wide and served by access aisles at least 60 inches
wide. Ensure that van accessible spaces
are a minimum of 96 inches wide and served by access aisles at least 96 inches
wide. At all spaces designated as
reserved for persons with disabilities, provide vertical signs with the
International Symbol of Accessibility located such that they cannot be
obstructed by parked vehicles. At van
accessible spaces, provide an additional “Van-Accessible” sign located below
the International Symbol of Accessibility.
Ensure that all spaces and access aisles for persons with disabilities
are flat and level, with slopes and cross-slopes not exceeding 1:50 in all
directions, and that their surfaces are firm, stable, and slip-resistant. Standards §§ 4.1.2(5), 4.6, 4.30.7(1).
b. Accessible Route from Parking to
Entrance: The route from the designated
accessible parking spaces to the pool entrance is inaccessible because the
slope to the curb cut exceeds 1:12. Provide a curb ramp that is at least 36
inches wide, has a maximum slope of 1:12, is located so that it cannot be
obstructed by parked vehicles, and has a stable, firm, and slip-resistant
surface with a detectable warning extending the full width and depth of the
ramp. If the curb ramp is located where
pedestrians must walk across it, provide either flared sides (with a maximum
slope of 1:10) or handrails or guardrails to protect against cross
traffic. Standards § 4.3.8, 4.7, Fig.
12.
c. Counters
i. The ticket counter to the left of the
entrance is inaccessible because the top of the counter is 42 ½ inches above
the finished floor. Provide a counter
on an accessible route such that a portion of the counter is at least 36 inches
wide and no more than 36 inches above the finished floor, or provide an
auxiliary counter with a maximum height of 36 inches in close proximity to the
main counter, or provide equivalent facilitation. Equivalent facilitation may be provided in the form of a folding
shelf attached to the main counter, an auxiliary table nearby, a clip board
made available to the public, or other means.

19 inches deep; and a minimum clear floor space of 30 inches by 48 inches to
allow a person in a wheelchair to approach the unit facing forward.
ii. There is no fountain provided for
people who have difficulty bending or stooping. Provide a drinking fountain that is accessible to people who have

can be accommodated by the use of a “hi-lo” fountain; by providing one fountain
accessible to those who use wheelchairs and one fountain at a standard height
convenient for those who have difficulty bending; by providing a fountain
accessible to people who use wheelchairs and a cup dispenser, or by such other

the use of a “hi-lo” fountain; by providing one fountain accessible to those
who use wheelchairs and one fountain at a standard height convenient for those
who have difficulty bending; by providing a fountain accessible to people who
use wheelchairs and a cup dispenser, or by such other means as would achieve

iii. Golf Carts
(1) Although there are golf carts for public
use at this facility, none are accessible to persons who use wheelchairs. The next time that golf carts are purchased,
the City will acquire at least one
accessible golf cart to provide program access. Additionally, the City will implement policies to ensure the
accessible cart’s availability to persons with disabilities. These will include, for example, allowing
persons with disabilities to reserve the cart or use it without reservations;
renting out the accessible golf cart to non-disabled users only when all other
carts are in use; charging the same for the use of the accessible cart as for
the use of others; and maintaining it in good condition. The accessible cart may be used by
non-disabled golfers when consistent with the policies set out above. 28 C.F.R. § 36.202(b).
