Limited English Proficiency Policy and Employee Guide

In compliance with Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the City of Clinton will take reasonable steps to ensure that persons with Limited English Proficiency (“LEP”) have meaningful access and an equal opportunity to participate in all services, activities, and programs. LEP individuals are those who are unable to speak, read, write, or understand the English language at a level that permits them to interact effectively with the City’s service providers. 

The policy of the City is to ensure meaningful communication with persons that experience LEP and their authorized representatives. This policy also provides for the communication of information contained in vital documents, meaning any document containing information that is critical for accessing services, activities, and programs, e.g., letters or notices requiring the response of an LEP individual and documents that inform LEP individuals of free language assistance. All interpreters, translators, and other aids needed to comply with this policy shall be provided without cost to the person being served.

The City’s LEP Policy governs the City, City employee functions and actions, and sub recipients of federal funds through the City. This Policy does not govern organizations that make use of City space for non-City events.  A copy of the policy can be accessed by clicking the LEP Plan on this web.
