The City of Orono will consider all grievances within its particular context or setting. Furthermore, <br />the department will consider many varying circumstances including: access to applicable services, <br />programs, or facilities; the nature of the disability; essential eligibility requirements for <br />participation; health and safety of others; and degree to which a potential solution would <br />constitute a fundamental alteration to the program, service, or facility, or cause undue hardship to <br />the City of Orono. <br />Accordingly, the resolution by The City of Orono of any one grievance does not constitute a <br />precedent upon which the City is bound or upon which other complaining parties may rely. <br />Complaints of Title II violations may be filed with the Department of Justice (DOJ) within 180 days <br />of the date of discrimination. In certain situations, cases may be referred to a mediation program <br />sponsored by the DOJ. The DOJ may bring a lawsuit where it has investigated a matter and has <br />been unable to resolve violations. <br />For more information, contact: <br />U.S. Department of Justice <br />Civil Rights Division <br />950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. <br />Disability Rights Section — NYAV <br />Washington, D.C. 20530 <br />www.ada.gov <br />(800) 514-0301 (voice) <br />(800) 514-0383 (TTY) <br />Title II may also be enforced through private lawsuits in Federal court.
