The Risk Management Administrator serves as the point of contact for County departments and residents for concerns related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA is a comprehensive piece of civil rights legislation prohibiting discrimination and guarantees people with disabilities the same opportunities as everyone else relating to employment opportunities, purchasing of goods and services, and to participate in State and local government programs and services.

Sutter County is committed to on-going efforts to provide access to public services to all residents, clients, and visitors of the County. All reasonable requests and modifications to our programs, information, services, and activities will be made to ensure people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy what Sutter County has to offer.
