Americans with Disabilities Act Grievance Procedure
This Grievance Procedure is established to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"). It may be used by anyone who wishes to file a complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of disability in the provision of services, activities, programs, or benefits by the Naperville Park District.
The complaint should be in writing and contain information about the alleged discrimination such as name, address, phone number of complainant and location, date, and description of the problem. Alternative means of filing complaints, such as personal interviews or a tape recording of the complaint will be made available for persons with disabilities upon request.
The complaint should be submitted by the grievant and/or his/her designee as soon as possible but no later than 60 calendar days after the alleged violation to:
Director of Human Resources/ADA Coordinator
320 W. Jackson Avenue
Naperville, IL 60540
Within 15 calendar days after receipt of the complaint, the Director of Human Resources/ADA Coordinator, or designee, will meet with the complainant to discuss the complaint and the possible resolutions. Within 15 calendar days of the meeting, Director of Human Resources/ADA Coordinator, or designee, will respond in writing, and where appropriate, in a format accessible to the complainant, such as large print, Braille, or audio tape. The response will explain the position of the Naperville Park District and offer options for substantive resolution of the complaint.
If the response by the Director of Human Resources/ADA Coordinator, or designee, does not satisfactorily resolve the issue, the complainant and/or his/her designee may appeal the decision within 15 calendar days after receipt of the response to the Executive Director, or designee.
