March 2, 2026	Police and Fire Disability Committee Meeting Agenda - Final
In accordance with the requirements of AB 2449, the Board of Administration (“Board”)
will generally, upon request, provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective
communication for individuals with disabilities so they can participate equally in the
Board’s meetings, including qualified sign language interpreters, documents in Braille,
and other ways of making information and communications accessible to people who
have speech, hearing, vision or other disabilities.
Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication to
participate in a Board meeting should contact the designated contact in Office of
Retirement Services as far in advance of the scheduled meeting as possible. The
Board strongly encourages individuals with disabilities to endeavor to submit requests
for reasonable accommodation no later than five (5) business days before the
scheduled meeting, as the Board may not be able to grant requests for reasonable
accommodations without sufficient advance notice. The Board strongly encourages
individuals with disabilities to submit their written requests via email or regular mail to
facilitate tracking and response; however, if the submission of a written request
constitutes a hardship, individuals may call the Office of Retirement Services to submit
an oral request.
The designated contact in the Office of Retirement Services will endeavor to respond
to each request within three (3) business days of receipt of the request. Depending on
the request, the designated contact in the Office of Retirement Services may ask to
schedule a time to discuss the request (which may occur virtually) to determine the
most appropriate auxiliary aid or service, before the request is resolved.
