Accessibility
the site is good with general accessibility. The accessibility page is a good model to base on. It includes several things that I like to see including the notice of why we do it. the Website policy and the city policy is listed in the same place. With a grievance procedure form on the same page.
Suggestion that the forms and applications be reviewed for accessibility.
