WHEREAS, we in America have set a standard for the entire world. We have enacted into law the
AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA), the most comprehensive civil rights legislation in the world for
people with disabilities. The ADA provides anti -discrimination protection for our nation's 54 million plus
Americans with disabilities in public and private employment, public accommodations, transportation and
telecommunications. Through this act, we have proclaimed to the world that Americans with disabilities are
integral, contributing, productive and valued citizens of our nation. Deschutes County is committed to full
compliance with the ADA; and
WHEREAS, it is critical Deschutes County proclaim its intention to implement fully the ADA, as we
rapidly approach the 21st century, we are increasingly becoming a global economy, one in which we must
compete with every other nation on earth. We need the talents, skills, and abilities of every one of our citizens
including our citizens with disabilities. People with disabilities reflect the diversity of our country, creed and
national origin and offer varied and multiple proficiencies and competencies. We cannot afford, either morally
or financially, to love the contributions that people with disabilities bring, not only to the workplace but also to
mainstream community life. They are an irreplaceable resource for our nation; and
WHEREAS, the Congress, by joint resolution, has designated October of each year as "NATIONAL
DISABILITY EMPLOYMENT AWARENESS MONTH". This month provides the opportunity for all American's
to recognize the tremendous value and potential of people with disabilities, and to recommit and dedicate
ourselves to the empowerment, employment and full inclusion of every one of our citizens with disabilities;
now, therefore,
