Body
WHEREAS, The Department of Recreation provides a level of services for all residents of the City; and

WHEREAS, Children with autistic disorders do not have recreational activities designed for their benefit; and
 
WHEREAS,  Legislation, such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, require equal access to services offered by our various agencies and departments to persons with disabilities, and thus children with an autism spectrum disorder are covered under these laws; now therefore
