The Department of Neighborhood Empowerment requires that all neighborhood council agendas include language informing the public of their rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

To assure compliance with their regulations, the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment will not publish an agenda that does not include this information.
