GOAL AND PROCEDURES GOAL: Per the direction of the Assistant Division Administrator for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in September of 2016 directing each Local Public Agency (LPA) with 50 or more employees to complete a self-evaluation and transition plan, the Sevier County Government is committed to identifying and correcting important deficiencies in facilities that create barriers for customers and employees with disabilities, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Sevier County hired Partners Development / Dollar & Ewers Architecture to perform assessments of each County-owned / operated facility to determine what the deficiencies are, to provide general solutions to those areas of need, and to gain understanding of general cost. This assessment is used to then assist Sevier County in developing a plan and schedule for implementation of upgrades and corrections. PHASE 1 PROCEDURES:

• IDENTIFYING FACILITIES o Sevier County provided the team with a list of facilities o The team analyzed the list to determine what facilities are in the scope of ADA and what could be

omitted for various reasons.

• INSPECTION AND ASSESSMENT OF FACILITIES IDENTIFIED o A licensed Architect from Dollar & Ewers Architecture inspected each facility and documented

conditions with photographs and notes. o Note that assessment is limited to compliance with the American Disabilities Act (ADA).

Observations do not include assessment of compliance with any other code.

• REPORTS o Dollar & Ewers produced an individual report of each facility assessed. Reports include the

following: ▪ Key plans generated from aerial maps and notes taken during visits. Some are based on

drawings but these key plans are not to scale and should not be relied on for correctness. They are for reference only.

▪ Listing of deficiencies based on the ADA handbook and the ADA Checklist generated by the ADA National Network. Listings include photographs of conditions and diagrams of ADA regulations published by ADA.

▪ Listings are group into four categories based on those in the ADA National Network checklist:

• Section A: Approach and Entry

• Section B: Access to Goods and Services

• Section C: Restroom Facilities

• Section D: Additional Access ▪ Estimated Cost associated with each listed deficiency – this is based on collaboration

with Partners Development, and use of RS Means ADA Compliance Pricing Guide. Note that these numbers are an estimate and are not guaranteed to be correct. They do not include Architectural and Engineering design fees.

▪ Suggested corrective measures. Note that these are only general suggestions. Further investigation by a design professional is necessary to implement the work. Also note that these measures assume that every single deficiency would be addressed, which may not be the case once the team assesses what measures are first in priority and others that go beyond reasonable accommodation.

▪ Summary – a general statement addressing the Priority Level of each facility.

PHASE 2 – IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND SCHEDULE

In analyzing the findings of the data gathered in the reports, we recommend prioritization of implementation in the following order:

1. VOTING: Fully address basic needs of voters in all voting locations, specifically for the purpose of voting first. Other corrective measures in these facilities (for example, employee break rooms) appear later in the priority list.

a. Sevier County Election Commission b. Dupont Community Center

2. PUBLIC USE – LACKING BASIC ACCESS: Address public use facilities that currently lack basic

access to public functions. a. Sevier County Courthouse b. Sevier County Heritage Museum c. Sevier County Fairgrounds

3. PUBLIC USE – NOT FULLY COMPLIANT: Address public elements in facilities that are somewhat

compliant but lack compliance with ADA. This is broken into several sub-categories (parking, approach to entry, entry, restrooms, etc…)

a. All other facilities and some features of the facilities listed in #1 and #2

4. STAFF USE: Address employee work areas. Note that these areas may need to be upgraded on an individual basis at any time in the case of an employee experiencing barriers to facilities.

GRIEVANCES RECORDED

Minimum Security Jail: During inspection of facilities, a visitor stated that, when she goes to use the public restroom, the door closes on her too quickly. Sevier County Courthouse: During court, the Bailiff has had to utilize a temporary ramp to assist a jury member to enter the space, and the jury member was not able to sit with the other jury members because the jury box is elevated without access. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE RESPONSIBLE OFFICE: Human Resources Office.

AUTHORITY: The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended. TCA 4-3-2303. Title I regulations

regarding employment of 29 CFR Part 1630, Title II regulations regarding public entities of CFR Part 35.

Department of Personnel policy concerning “Investigations of Allegations of Illegal Discrimination and

Harassment”, dated August 12, 2005. If any portion of this policy conflicts with applicable state or federal laws or

regulations, that portion shall be considered void. The remainder of this policy shall not be affected thereby and

shall remain in full force and effect.

PURPOSE: Sevier County is committed to providing a safe and secure work environment in which all

individuals are treated equally with respect and dignity. Sevier County strives to create an atmosphere that

promotes equal opportunities and prohibits discriminatory practices. In keeping with this commitment, Sevier

County will not tolerate discrimination and/or harassment based on sex, age, race, mental or physical disabilities,

color, sexual orientation, national origin or religious beliefs.

APPLICATION: All persons seeking access to programs, services or facilities of Sevier County Government.

All employees of the Sevier County Government and all persons seeking employment or conducting business

equal opportunities to all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual

orientation, status as a Vietnam-era veteran or special disabled veteran, or status in any other group protected by

law. It is the policy of Sevier County to make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known

disabilities unless doing so would result in undue hardship. Individuals, employees or applicants listed above

with questions or concerns about any type of discrimination encouraged bringing these issues to the attention of

the ADA Coordinator. All individuals can raise concerns and make complaints without fear of reprisal and with

assurance of protection from harassment or retaliation. Anyone found to be engaging in any type of unlawful

Departmental Policy

Approved by: Larry Waters, County Mayor

Effective Date: December 21, 2016

Subject: Disability Discrimination Policy

County does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual

orientation, status as a Vietnam-era veteran or special disabled veteran, or status in any group protected by law.

The Department shall comply with applicable requirements of Section 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of

1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Department of Personnel Policies Rules and Regulations, as well

as any other applicable law pertaining to disability non-discrimination.

PROCEDURE: Sevier County hereby adopts the compliant procedure process issued by the Tennessee

Department of Personnel including form PR-0411 “Intake/Referral and Investigative Memorandum process”,

copy attached, which from time to time may be revised by the Department of Personnel.

HOW TO REPORT DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION INCIDENTS

Any individual, employee or applicant for employment that believe they have been subjected to conduct that

violates this policy must report those incidents as soon as possible after the event occurs.

Individuals, employees and applicants may file a complaint with the ADA Coordinator at the following address:

ADA Coordinator

Office of Human Resources

125 Court Avenue, Suite 102E

Sevierville, TN 37862 Telephone: (865) 774-3644 or FAX (865) 774-3753 or TTY Relay (800) 848-0298

Under no circumstances is the individual, employee or applicant alleging disability discrimination and/or

harassment required to file a complaint with the alleged harasser. If any individual, employee or applicant

believes they cannot file a complaint within his/her agency, that person should contact the Department of

Personnel, EEO/AA Division or Employee Relations Division (615) 741-2958.

Sevier County encourages individuals, employees and/or applicants for employment to report all incidents of

discrimination and/or harassment regardless of the status or job title of the perpetrator. Other persons who

observe as offensive behavior committed on Sevier County property or by a Sevier County representative should

report the event even if he/she is not the target of the behavior.

Individuals who wish to file a complaint are encouraged to submit the complaint in writing and to include a

description of the incident(s) as well as the dates(s), time(s), place(s) and any witnesses.

RETALIATION AGAINST COMPLAINANT

Retaliation against any individual who has articulated any concern of discrimination and/or harassment is

prohibited. Retaliation is a serious violation of this discrimination/ harassment policy and should be reported

immediately. Any person found to have retaliated against another individual for reporting an incident will be

subject to the same type of disciplinary action as perpetrators of discrimination and/ or harassment.

HOW COMPLAINTS ARE INVESTIGATED AND RESOLVED

The ADA Coordinator in the Office of Human Resources will conduct a thorough and neutral investigation of all

reported complaints of disability discrimination, harassment and/or retaliation as soon as practicable. Generally,

an investigation will include an interview with the complainant to determine if the conduct in issue violates this

policy. If the department determines that the conduct falls within the terms of this policy, the department will

interview the alleged offender and any other witnesses who have direct knowledge of the circumstances of the

allegations.

The department retains the sole discretion to determine whether a violation of this policy has occurred and to

determine what level, if any, of disciplinary action is warranted.

HOW CONFIDENTIALITY IS TREATED

To the extent permitted by law, Sevier County will try to maintain the confidentiality of each party involved in

disability discrimination and/or harassment investigation, complaint or charge, provided it does not interfere with

the department’s ability to investigate the allegations or to take corrective action. However, Sevier County cannot

guarantee confidentiality. Any documents that are made or received in the course of the investigation are public

records under the State’s Public Act, unless otherwise exempted by state law. Unless such exemption applies,

state law will prevent Sevier County from maintaining confidentiality of investigative records.

CORRECTIVE ACTION FOR VIOLATION OF THIS POLICY

Upon completing the investigation of a discrimination and/or harassment complaint, a decision as to whether

discrimination and/or harassment has occurred and the appropriate action to take on the complaint will be made

by the ADA Coordinator or his/her designee, or if the County Mayor is the subject of the complaint, by the

Chairman of the County Commission Intergovernmental Affairs Committee. Sevier County will communicate its

findings and intended actions to the complainant and alleged perpetrators.

If the reporting officer or panel of officers determines that no discrimination and/or harassment has occurred, this

finding will be communicated to the complainant in an appropriately sensitive manner.

OTHER PROVISIONS

When a complaint is filed, the investigator will inform the complainant, accused and witnesses of the statement of

limitation on confidentiality included in the Intake/Referral process. The investigator will also inform the

complainant, accused and witnesses of the strict prohibition of retaliation, as defined in this policy.

The investigator will communicate information concerning the allegations only to those to whom the investigator

is authorized to report such matters.

The investigator will issue a letter to the accuser and the accused concerning the outcome of the investigation. A

copy this letter will be maintained in the office of the ADA Coordinator.

All documents generated by the investigation and any subsequent disciplinary action shall be preserved and only

disposed of in accordance with the appropriate State rule.

STATEMENT CONCERNING CONFIDENTIALITY

Pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated § 10-7-502(a), “all state . . . records . . . shall at all times, during

business hours, be open for personal inspection by any citizen of Tennessee, and those in charge of such

records shall not refuse such right of inspection to any citizen, unless otherwise provided by state law.”

Accordingly, the State cannot and does not guarantee the confidentiality of this document or any notes, files,

reports, or other documents, whether created by the State or received from the complainant, accused, or

witnesses.
