Putnam County ADA Self-evaluation and Transition Plan

DLZ was contracted by Putnam County Commissioners to perform a self-evaluation study of all County-owned and operated facilities, services, policies, and practices and determine needed modifications required to ensure full accessibility consistent with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). DLZ reviewed both interior and exterior conditions for these facilities and prepared a Transition Plan with cost estimates to develop phasing implementation of required improvements based on the priority in which they need correction. The priorities are based on the severity of the barrier they present to persons with disabilities. The evaluation was performed for:

• County Courthouse
• Emergency Management Agency
• Highway Department
• Sheriff Department/County Jail
• Planning & Zoning/Health Department
• Prosecutor’s Office, Child Support Division
