ADA Title II Grievance Procedure

This commitment stems from overall City goals of responsive government, community engagement, and customer service. As residents, workers or visitors who contribute to city life, people with disabilities are entitled to fair and equal access to service.
If a person with a disability is unable to access program, service, or activity of the City of Minneapolis, they are encouraged to contact the ADA Title II Coordinator. Through this interactive process, the ADA Title II Coordinator will work with the individual to discuss the issue and explore options for improving access to the program, service or activity.
The City of Minneapolis is a leader in civil rights and is committed to make all City programs, services and activities accessible to everyone. Most complaints can be resolved quickly and result in improvements benefitting everyone in the community.
