Commissioner James Santana - City of Montebello

The City of Montebello has finalized its ADA Transition Plan and committed to implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan and Self-evaluation Report. This report, a key initiative for improving accessibility and inclusivity, holds the promise of a more inclusive and accessible Montebello. It aims to identify and evaluate any barriers or possible barriers that may prevent people with disabilities from accessing the City's programs, services, and activities.

We are optimistic about the positive changes this plan will bring. Community members are encouraged to review and offer feedback at the May 8, 6 p.m. City Council meeting.
