Current through June 25, 2024
The Pearl River Basin Development District wishes to
				  publicize its policy concerning accessibility of its facilities for employees
				  and others.
(a) It is the policy of the
				Pearl River Basin Development District that its facilities will be as
				accessible as possible for all persons. The District recognizes that there are
				certain facilities that due to their setting in natural areas may not be able
				to be made accessible without destroying the essential functions of these
				areas. These include nature trails, certain water related facilities and other
				operations.
(b) It is the policy of
				the District that work areas will be as accessible as possible, given the above
				restrictions.
(c) It is the policy
				of the District to maintain its facilities and equipment in operable working
				condition, especially those as required for ready accessibility and use by
				persons with disabilities. Any routine maintenance or repairs or replacement
				will be carried out as quickly as possible.
(d) Written materials of the District will
				attempt to include materials on usage by persons regardless to race, sex, age
				or disability, and publications will attempt to make known the District's
				policy of accessibility and nondiscrimination.
(e) The District will attempt to make sure
				that functions it sponsors are as accessible to all persons as possible. Again,
				they will be held in places that are as accessible as possible given the
				natural conditions that surround many of the District's properties.
(f) It is also our policy that any customer
				or visitor to one of our facilities who feels aggrieved that the facilities are
				not properly accessible, may file a complaint with our ADA representative,
				whose mailing address and telephone number are P.O. Box 5332, Jackson,
				Mississippi 39296-5332, (601) 354-6301. Assuming the ADA coordinator is unable
				to resolve the issue, please contact the Executive Director of the District at

Current through June 25, 2024
It is the policy of the Pearl River Basin Development
				  District that we do not discriminate against individuals based upon disability.
				  If you feel that you have a disability that affects your ability to work,
				  please notify our ADA coordinator, who will attempt to work with you to create
				  a reasonable solution. Note: Short term disabilities are not covered under this
				  policy.
It is our policy that all employees will be able to function
				  effectively regardless of disability unless our ability to accommodate the
				  disability would create an undue hardship on the District.
In general, we will ask each individual affected to suggest
				  reasonable accommodations to us and we will consider them as they arise. We
				  wish for the process to be interactive and ongoing and your cooperation will be
				  greatly needed.
No employee, whether supervisory or not, may intimidate or
				  threaten or interfere with any individual in the exercise or enjoyment of any
				  employment opportunities or benefits because of the individual's disability or
				  having aided or encouraged any other employee or individual in the exercise of
				  their rights granted or protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
				  Violators of this policy shall be subject to appropriate discipline.
Any questions concerning this policy or the accommodation or
				  its reasonableness should be first addressed to your supervisor or to our ADA
				  coordinator. If no resolution can be reached, contact the Executive Director
				  who will make the final decision concerning any
				  accommodation.
