Reseda Pushes City for ADA Website Help

The Reseda Neighborhood Council is set to vote June 15 on motions asking the City to provide centralized support for digital accessibility before a federal deadline. The council's agenda notes that Los Angeles Neighborhood Councils must comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility standards by April 24, 2027, under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The agenda states the council is ten regular meetings out from the deadline and has not received substantive guidance from the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment on how to reach compliance. The council says it does not know what legal liability it faces if it misses the deadline.

The motions ask the City Attorney's Neighborhood Council Advice Division for a formal briefing on legal liability and compliance options. A carried-over motion calls for the City to establish a centralized web platform for all neighborhood councils, hire dedicated ADA and IT staff, and publish a citywide compliance plan with milestones and accountability.

The council argues the scope of WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance may not be achievable by all-volunteer bodies without centralized City support.
