The assessment that should include an analysis of anticipated costs and fiscal impacts, as well as an evaluation of the operational and legislative requirements necessary to implement a workable fee-for-service program for the DOD in time for the start of Fiscal Year 2026-27. Fiscal Impact Statement: The DOD reports that adopting and implementing the recommended options would improve the City’s General Fund by shifting a large portion of costs for accessibility services to special funds and proprietary-controlled funds. In addition, this overall shift in approach would decrease the DOD’s administrative burden, thus allowing staff to focus more of their time on compliance efforts. This in turn would minimize risk associated with non- compliance by helping the City better meet its state and federally mandated disability access obligations; prioritizing these critical services and integrating them into each department’s planning process and day-to-day work.
