ADA & Accessibility

The City of Selma is committed to ensuring that people with disabilities have equal access to City programs, services, facilities, and information — including this website and our public documents.

Notice Under the Americans with Disabilities Act

In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), the City of Selma will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities. The City also complies with California Government Code Section 54953(g) and has adopted a reasonable accommodation policy.

Accessibility Is Built In — No Overlay

Accessibility is built into this website itself — semantic structure, keyboard operability, screen-reader compatibility, and sufficient color contrast. We do not rely on a third-party accessibility "overlay" or widget. Overlays do not achieve conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, and the disability community and the U.S. Department of Justice do not accept them as a substitute for an accessible site.

Accessible Public Documents

The City’s public documents are provided as accessible, screen-reader-ready files. The following City of Selma documents have been remediated to the PDF/UA-1 (ISO 14289-1) standard and tested with veraPDF, with human quality assurance:

More documents are on the City Council & Meetings and Departments pages.

Requesting an Accommodation or Alternate Format

If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in a City program, service, or activity — or a City document in an alternate format (large print, accessible electronic file, or another language) — contact the City Clerk’s Office. For meetings, please request as far in advance as possible, and generally at least 72 hours ahead.

  • City Clerk’s Office: (559) 891-2200
  • City Hall: 1710 Tucker Street, Selma, CA 93662

ADA Grievance Procedure

Anyone who believes the City has not provided equal access, or has discriminated on the basis of disability, may file a grievance:

  1. Submit the grievance in writing to the City Clerk’s Office, including your name, contact information, a description of the problem, and the access you are requesting.
  2. File as soon as possible, and generally within sixty (60) calendar days of the alleged barrier or denial of access.
  3. The City (or its designee) will respond, typically within fifteen (15) business days, in a format accessible to you, and will arrange to meet if needed.
  4. If the response does not resolve the issue, you may request a review by the City Manager.
  5. Filing a grievance with the City does not affect your right to pursue other remedies, including a complaint with a state or federal agency.
