The City of Clovis has been very active in addressing ADA issues in their City. Here is the information regarding what they are doing from their website: http://www.ci.clovis.ca.us/Business/Pages/ADAComplianceProgram.aspx.
There may be some small things you can do to address ADA regulations without spending thousands of dollars. Attend a free educational workshop offered by the City of Clovis and learn how to make your business site compliant. To find out when the next workshop is being held, please send your name, business name, address, and number of attendees to carlosm@cityofclovis.com or call Carlos Martinez at (559) 324-2092tel:5593242092.
The Business Assistance Program for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance is designed to assist businesses in the City of Clovis to become ADA compliant. The objective of this program is to encourage local businesses to make the necessary modifications to comply with ADA regulations and avoid the risks of litigation. Through this program, the Community and Economic Development Department at the City of Clovis offers 1) ADA compliance walk-throughs, and 2) deferred loans of up to $10,000 for half of the cost to make ADA required building improvements.
Walk-Throughs
Businesses within the City of Clovis are eligible to apply for an ADA walk-through inspection. Walk-throughs are available to any locally-owned or franchisee-owned business located within the city limits. ADA compliance walk-throughs are not available to landlords alone, entire buildings or shopping centers rented to multiple tenants, corporate-owned businesses, empty buildings, or businesses larger than 75,000 sq. ft. A property owner may apply for a walk-through, but only if he/she owns and operates a single business in the property desired for inspection (walk-though is limited to the borders of that single business). Business owners with more than one business must submit a separate application per business. Businesses desiring to obtain a walk-through by the City of Clovis must submit a completed application to the Clovis Community Development Agency and a processing fee of $25.
ADA walk-through applications will be processed as completed applications are received and as funding is available. Businesses that have already received an ADA walk-through by the City of Clovis are no longer eligible unless they have moved into a new business location.
