(A) The city shall identify potential barriers to accessibility in city government in regard to the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and develop and implement a proactive plan for compliance by January 26, 1992. The barriers and accommodations to be addressed include, but are not limited to accessibility to employment by new applicants, retention of employees with a disability, the rehiring of those terminated due to injuries or other disabilities, physical accessibility issues, public access to city facilities, building codes, transportation, and communication barriers. The goal shall be for the city to serve as the model for the Albuquerque area in regard to compliance with the ADA, and shall therefore make every reasonable accommodation to insure the city is accessible to persons with disabilities.
(B) The Mayor shall, in the course of fulfilling the requirements of division (A) above, actively seek the inputs of the current Access Task Force For Person's with Disabilities and the Commission for Person's with Disabilities, the Department Directors, city employees, and citizens of Albuquerque. Efforts should also be taken to coordinate these activities with Bernalillo County wherever practical.
(C) A report identifying the information compiled, the development and implementation of the city's implementation plan shall be provided to the City Council for approval on or before January 26, 1992.
