Heidi Murphy Final Report to City of Pleasanton Library and Recreation Department February 26, 2019 page 6 This is a smart practice for the implementation of title ll. 16. Establish ongoing training for Department staffs regarding disability awareness, inclusion concepts, inclusion techniques, and current court and administrative decisions. This is a smart practice for the implementation of title 1135.150. 17. Inclusion also means existing City sites have been evaluated for compliance with California Title 24 and ADA 2010 Standards for Accessible Design requirements, and that a phased retrofit plan (known as a transition plan) has been prepared. The City did prepare a transition plan in 2004, and it was updated in 2008. Retrofits listed in the transition plan have been included in the biennial Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The US Department of Justice adopted standards for park assets such as playgrounds, sports fields and courts, and pools, in 2010, and these became effective in 2012. As the earlier City transition. plan was completed before the new Standards became effective, we recommend: A. That the City retain an expert familiar with Title 24 and ADA requirements and update the existing transition plan, which should include a current access audit of all existing City facilities as required by title 11 35.105. B. That the City require the expert to, after the access audits, develop a phased retrofit plan that meets or exceeds the title 11 requirements found at 35.150(d). C. That the City continue to include updated transition plan access retrofit work in the biennial CIP. SECTION 2: Recommendations for Specific Pleasanton Programs . The systemic recommendations above establish a framework for City departments -or activities. We did have the opportunity to review some specific processes and materials and our remarks in that regard are below. Our review process included a look at documents we received from the Department. We marked up those documents with recommended changes, and we provided those to Department staffs earlier. We do note that our interviews and.the review of Department processes and publications occurred almost three years. ago. Our remarks below are based on. those documents, and not any documents that are more current than 2016. We recommend the changes described below: 2016/2017 Season Firehouse Arts Center a.
