Commitment

The District is committed to providing equitable access to our services to all Coloradans.

 

Our ongoing accessibility effort works toward being in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1, level AA criteria. These guidelines help make technology accessible not only to users with sensory, cognitive, and mobility disabilities, but ultimately to all users, regardless of ability.

 

Our efforts are just part of a meaningful change in making all State of Colorado services inclusive and accessible. We welcome comments on how to improve our technology’s accessibility for users with disabilities and for requests for accommodations to any of our services.

 

The District has an Accessibility Plan and Progress Report which can be accessed using the following link https://www.chatfieldcorners.org/accessibility

 

How the District Is Implementing Accessibility

Website Testing and Remediation

·         We conduct monthly technology accessibility scans of the District’s website against applicable Technical Standards. 

·         We work with the District’s website platform, Streamline, to improve and implement accessibility features.   

·         We remediate public records in an effort to provide continuous improvement of our website. 

 

Training

We participate in webinars and review guidance provided by Streamline and the Special District Association on the topic of accessibility. We monitor for rulemaking efforts and guidance promulgated by the Colorado Governor’s Office of Information Technology.

 

Procurement

We require contractors and consultants comply with all federal, state, and local laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, guidelines, court rulings, and orders of all governmental authorities applicable to the services or work being performed, including accessibility requirements.

ACCESSIBILITY PLAN AND PROGRESS REPORT

 

Accessibility Standards

Our ongoing technology accessibility efforts rely on the Technical Standards provided by:

 

Accessibility Maturity

7/1/2025 Integrate: Roadmap including timeline is in place; overall organizational approach defined and well organized.

 

Progress Since Our Last Update 

The District continues to make progress with complying with the Rules Establishing Technology Accessibility Standards as contained in 8 CCR § 1501-11, et seq.

 

Progress includes:

  • Creating accessible templates for public records, as needed.
  • Engaging Streamline Software, Inc., to assist in the remediation of documents.
  • Conducting monthly technology accessibility scans of the District’s website against applicable Technical Standards
  • Reviewed technology accessibility scans and ordered remediation for noncompliant ICT contained within the District's websites
    • As of June 30, 2025, the result of the regular scanning and monitoring showed the District’s ICT having an overall compliance score of 100% with the Technical Standards, as such term is defined in 8 CCR § 1501-11.
  • Providing contact information for people to give us accessibility feedback and request reasonable accommodations or modifications. (See the Technology Accessibility Statement which can be accessed using the following link: https://www.chatfieldcorners.org/accessibility

 

Challenges include:

  • The District has limited funding available for remediation and no funding is provided by external sources imposing the mandates.
  • The District lacks staff to provide continuity of management for technology.
  • External District consultants perform District operations and they are not specialists in information technology.
  • Information technology matters are not easily understood or learned by lay people who are not information technology specialists.
  • The District has engaged a third-party (Streamline Software, Inc.) to remediate documents.  Depending on demand, remediation of documents may take several days or weeks to remediate and make accessible for posting on the District’s website.
  • Accessibility standards are rapidly changing. As a result, complete compliance with the accessibility standards may not be immediately possible when standards change.
  • Consultant managed website, documentation, procurement, contract and vendor management and communications may present issues with remediation by multiple parties.

 

How We Are Implementing Accessibility

The District is committed to providing equitable access to all Coloradans. To that end, the District has a plan to prioritize, evaluate, remediate and continuously improve digital touchpoints within our services, programs and activities. We are working to incorporate accessibility into our day-to-day operations. Below, you’ll find some of the measures that the District is undertaking.

  • Continuing to remediate known compliance issues identified through regular scanning and monitoring.
  • Considering accessibility roadmaps to the extent offered by the Colorado Governor’s Office of Information Technology or other third parties.  
  • Direct consultants to include accessibility in the procurement processes to the extent within the District’s control.
  • Direct consultants to create and implement a process for providing reasonable accommodations and modifications, which includes responses to requests for assistance. 
  • Participate in webinars and events, and review guidance, provided by the District’s website platform, the Colorado Governor’s Office of Information Technology, and the Colorado Special District Association.
  • Monitor rulemaking efforts and guidance promulgated by the Colorado Governor’s Office of Information Technology.
  • Incorporate and utilize, to the extent reasonably available, new and future accessibility features in public-facing technology used by the District.
  • Conduct and maintain an inventory of technology and work to address accessibility issues.
    • We prioritize the order to address technology assets by Community Impact and Strategic impact. Community Impact includes considerations of user impact, usage metrics, and the importance of the technology asset to accessing our programs, services, and activities. Strategic Impact includes considerations of legal requirements, the type of program or service that the technology asset supports, and our plans for continuing / sunsetting / replacing / expanding the technology asset or the program in the future.
      • Group 1: High Community Impact + High Strategic Impact = Test/remediate first. 
      • Group 2: High Community Impact + Low Strategic Impact = Test/remediate next. Plan accommodations first.
      • Group 3: Low Community Impact + High Strategic Impact = Test/remediate after Group 2. Plan accommodations next.
      • Group 4: Low Community Impact + Low Strategic Impact = Test/remediate last. Put accommodations in place last.

 

Formal Approval

On June 17, 2025, the District approved a Resolution Adopting the Chatfield Corners Metropolitan District Revised Technology Accessibility Statement and Directing Compliance with the Accessibility Rules.
