4.2 Implement Americans with Disabilities ActA Proclamation of Recommitment to
Full Implementation of the ADA
Whereas: On July 26, 1990, President George H. Bush signed into
law the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to ensure the civil
rights of people with disabilities. This legislation established a clear
and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of
discrimination against individuals with disabilities.
Whereas: The ADA has expanded opportunities for Americans with
disabilities by reducing barri ers and changing perceptions,
increasing full participation in community life. However, the full
promise of the ADA will only be re ached if public entities remain
committed in their efforts to fully implement the ADA.
Whereas: On the 20th annive rsary of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, we, the City of Salina, celebrate and recognize the
progress that has been made by reaffirming the principals of
equality and inclusion and reco mmitting our efforts to reach full
ADA compliance.
NOW THEREFORE, I, Aaron G. Peck, Mayor of Salina, do hereby
reaffirm our commitment to work toward full ADA compliance in
the City of Salina.
Signed this 24th day of May, 2010, at the City of Salina, State of
Kansas in the witness thereof the seal and the signatures of the city
are affixed.
