ADA 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 Town of Windsor. Employment-related complaints of disability discrimination are covered elsewhere, in policies available from the human resources office of the Town of Windsor.

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. No particular format of the complaint is required. However, you may choose to use our form. 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 or her designee as soon as possible but no later than 60 calendar days after the alleged violation to:

Jaci Schmidt, ADA Coordinator
Town of Windsor
Human Resources, Risk Management Division
922 N. 15th Street
Windsor, CO 80550
Phone: 970-674-2438
Email: [email protected]

Within 15 calendar days after receipt of the complaint, the ADA Coordinator or their designee will meet with the complainant to discuss the complaint and the possible resolutions. Within 15 calendar days of the meeting, the ADA Coordinator or their 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 Town of Windsor and offer options for substantive resolution of the complaint.

If the response by the ADA Coordinator or designee does not satisfactorily resolve the issue, the complainant and/or their designee may appeal the decision within 15 calendar days after receipt of the response to the Town Manager or designee.

Within 15 calendar days after receipt of the appeal, the Town Manager or designee will respond in writing, and, where appropriate, in a format accessible to the complainant, with the town’s final resolution of the complaint, or indicating that the matter has been returned to the ADA Coordinator for further action. If further action is indicated, the complainant will be contacted within 15 days of the written response.

All written complaints received by the ADA Coordinator or designee, appeals to the Town Manager or designee, and responses from these two offices will be retained by the Town of Windsor for at least three years from the date of filing.
