(A) The city will offer equal employment opportunities for qualified individuals who may have a physical or mental disability, including medical conditions related to pregnancy, but who can still perform the essential job functions with or without reasonable accommodations. The city will provide reasonable accommodations to individuals qualifying under ADA only when that accommodation does not create an “undue hardship” to the city.
(B) Any employee who feels they may need an accommodation to perform their job functions should notify their supervisor in writing. Because analysis under the ADA requires an open dialogue between the employee and the employer, the employee and the supervisor are encouraged to discuss the situation openly and involve the Mayor as the city personnel officer, the City Commission and other necessary staff as appropriate.
(C) Medical information may be requested by the city to assist in understanding the employee's capabilities and limitations.
