We recognize that many visitors and residents are increasingly using our website to access information about what we do, obtain services, participate in our meetings, and provide feedback.

 

We also recognize that users of the website who have disabilities may use the website with the assistance of technology, including screen readers, captioning, transcripts and other auxiliary aids and services.

Our website offers a wide range of information and services, and we recognize that for users with disabilities, there may be opportunities to access some material on our site.

What is WCAG 2.0 AA?

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 guidelines are categorized into three levels of conformance to meet the needs of different groups and different situations: A (lowest), AA (mid-range), and AAA (highest). Conformance at higher levels indicates conformance at lower levels. For example, by conforming to AA, a Web page meets both the A and AA conformance levels. Level A sets a minimum level of accessibility and does not achieve broad accessibility for many situations. AA compliance is recommended for all information on the website.
