RESOLUTION
body
WHEREAS, the County’s Human Resources Department administers requirements under titles I and V of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); and
WHEREAS, Dakota County, like many organizations, previously opted to carefully follow the law rather than rely on a policy that reflects the requirements under the law; and
WHEREAS, while the County has consistently followed all requirements of Titles I and V of the ADA, Human Resources staff determined that memorializing the County’s obligations under the ADA as part of a County policy would better reflect the organization’s commitment to supporting employees with disabilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Dakota County Board of Commissioners hereby adopts the proposed addition of Policy 3243 Workplace Accommodations/Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA Titles I and V) and authorizes the Human Resources Director to implement the policy accordingly.
