All comments received during the Joint Workshop and since then have been compiled into a comment matrix. The matrix, included as an attachment to this agenda item, provides a copy of all comments received, and the resulting changes, if any, in the final draft comprehensive plan amendments.

June 13, 2024 LPA Meeting Minutes 4 I. Policy Statement: The Village of Palm Springs values diversity and welcomes input from all interested parties, regardless of cultural identity, background, or income level. Moreover, the Village believes the best programs and services result from careful consideration of the needs of all its communities and when those communities are involved in the decision-making process. The Village does not tolerate discrimination in any of its programs, services, or activities. Pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other federal and state authorities, the Village will not exclude from participation in, deny the benefits of, or subject to discrimination anyone on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, or family status. II. Persons with Disabilities: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and related federal and state laws and regulations forbid discrimination against those who have disabilities. These laws require federal-aid recipients and other government entities to take affirmative steps to reasonably accommodate those with disabilities and ensure that their needs are equitably represented. The Village will make every effort to ensure that its facilities, programs, services, and activities are accessible to those with disabilities. The Village will also make every effort to ensure that its advisory committees, public involvement activities and all other programs, services and activities include representation by communities with disabilities and disability service groups. The Village encourages the public to report any facility, program, service, or activity that appears inaccessible to those who are disabled. Also, the Village will provide reasonable accommodation to individuals with disabilities who wish to participate in public involvement events or who require special assistance to access facilities, programs, services, or activities. Because providing reasonable accommodation may require outside assistance, the Village asks that requests be made at least three (3) business days prior to the need for accommodation. Questions, concerns, comments, or requests for accommodation should be made to the Village ADA Officer: Name: Ashley Saingilus, Human Resources Director Address: 226 Cypress Lane, Palm Springs, FL 33461 Email: asaingilus@vpsfl.org Phone: (561) 584-8200 Ext. 8421 III. Complaint Procedures: The Village has established a discrimination complaint procedure and will take prompt and reasonable action to investigate and eliminate discrimination when found. Any person who believes that he or she has been subjected to discrimination based upon race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability or family status in any Village program, service or activity may file a complaint with the Village Title VI/Nondiscrimination Coordinator: Name: Janette Piedra, Human Resources Manager Address: 226 Cypress Lane, Palm Springs, FL 33461 Email: jpiedra@vpsfl.org Phone: (561) 584-8200 Ext. 8422 Village of Palm Springs Title VI/Nondiscrimination Policy
