After staff told the advisory commission the city will not create a funded, citywide ADA coordinator because of an eight‑figure structural deficit and a preference for department-level responsibility, commissioners and advocates pressed for a clear named contact and proposed internal appointments.

The Sacramento Disability Advisory Commission pressed city staff to adopt a single, public ADA coordinator; city officials said federal rules don’t require one and described a hub-and-spoke model with Kelly Lacy named as a navigator and single point of contact for routing accessibility requests.

At its Aug. 5 meeting the Sacramento Disability Advisory Commission received staff briefings on a digital‑accessibility compliance and staff training plan, a Street Bike gap‑closure safety redesign affecting Stockton Boulevard, and the city’s Language Access program. Commissioners requested follow‑up data and approved procedural motions including extending the meeting.

City IT staff told the Disability Advisory Commission they are procuring automated PDF‑checking software, rolling out vendor training for staff and auditing the website ahead of an April 26, 2027 Title II compliance deadline set by the Department of Justice.
