Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Reasonable Accommodations
The ADA is a civil rights law that protects people with different types of disabilities from discrimination in all
aspects of social life. More specifically, Title II of the ADA requires that all programs offered through the state
and local government such as the City and County of San Francisco must be accessible and usable to people
with disabilities. The ADA and City policy require that people with disabilities have equal access to all City
services, activities, and benefits. People with disabilities must have an equal opportunity to participate in the
programs and services offered through the City and County of San Francisco. If you believe your rights under
the ADA are violated, contact the ADA Coordinator.
Ordinance No. 90-10 added Section 2A.22.3 to the Administrative Code, which adopted a Citywide Americans
with Disabilities Act Reasonable Modification Policy that requires City departments to: (1) provide notice to the
public of the right to request reasonable modification; (2) respond promptly to such requests; (3) provide
appropriate auxiliary aids and services to people with disabilities to ensure effective communication; and (4) train
staff to respond to requests from the public for reasonable modification, and that requires the Mayor's Office on
Disability to provide technical assistance to City departments responding to requests from the public for
reasonable modifications.
Meetings are real-time captioned and are cablecast open-captioned on SFGovTV at www.sfgovtv.org or Cable
Channels 26, 28, 78 or 99 (depending on your provider). Board and Committee meeting agendas and minutes are

Section 508 Guidelines. For reasonable accommodations, please contact (415) 554-5184 or (415) 554-5227 (TTY).
Board of Supervisors’ Rules of Order 1.3.3 does not permit remote public comment by members of the public at
meetings of the Board and its committees, except as legally required to enable people with disabilities to
participate in such meetings. If you require remote access as a means of reasonable accommodation under ADA,
please contact the Clerk’s Office to request remote access, including a description of the functional limitation(s)
that precludes your ability to attend in person. Requests made at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting will
help to ensure availability. For further assistance, please contact Wilson Ng at (415) 554-5184
