(i) If the Department determines that any surveyed polling place can reasonably be temporarily modified, it will identify what temporary modifications can be made and how. The Department will consider whether any of the following temporary modifications will resolve any accessibility issues: (1) six-foot portable ramps, (2) threshold ramps and (3) re-designating alternative entrances as exclusive entrances to the polling places If none of the above temporary modifications will resolve a polling place's accessibility issues, the Department may recommend other temporary modifications. (ii) If the Department determines that the alternative entrance to a polling place cannot be re-designated as the exclusive entrance to the polling place, or that any surveyed polling place cannot be temporarily modified, it will explain why. b. If the polling place is located in a publicly owned building, whether it is reasonable to permanently modify any inaccessible polling place to make it accessible and how such modifications would be made. c. If a surveyed polling place cannot reasonably be modified temporarily, whether it can reasonably be relocated to a building that is accessible or can reasonably be made temporarily accessible on election day, and the specific location(s) it recommends as the relocation site. (i) In determining whether a polling place can reasonably be relocated, the Department will use the following criteria: (1) the proposed relocation site must be in the same division the polling place serves or a division adjacent to the division the polling place serves; (2) the proposed relocation site cannot be more than five city blocks from the furthest edge of the division the polling place serves; (3) there are no significant dangers or obstacles that would preclude pedestrians from safely traveling to the proposed location, such as a park, river, or major road or highway that cannot be safely traversed; (4) the building in which the polling place is proposed to be relocated is too small to accommodate a polling place or, if a polling division(s) is already located there, the building is not too small to accommodate an additional polling place; or (5) the location is unable to accommodate a polling place for mechanical or other physical or operational reasons. (ii) When making contact for the first time with any person regarding a prospective privately owned polling place location, the Department will provide to that person a copy of the notice attached as Attachment 4 immediately upon initiating contact with the person. (iii) If the Department recommends a relocation site that is not accessible but can reasonably be made temporarily accessible on election day, the Department also will identify what temporary modifications can be made and how. d. Whether a temporary sign should be posted on election day to direct voters with disabilities to an alternate accessible entrance and where the sign should be posted. 19. The Department will train the Kerrigan Private Third Party on using the Survey Instrument and will work closely with the Kerrigan Private Third Party to facilitate consistency in the evaluation of the polling places, recommendations and in the format of the reports described in Paragraph 18 of this Agreement. 20. The survey and evaluation processes pursuant to Paragraphs 14 and 15 of this Agreement will be put in abeyance for a period from 21 days before any election through 21 days after any election (i.e., no surveys or evaluations will be conducted during this timeframe with the exception of the surveys conducted under Paragraph 16 of this Agreement).
