Title VI Information

Title VI Notice to the Public

Monona County hereby gives public notice that it is the policy of the county to assure full compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This Act, along with related statutes and regulations, provides that no person shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin, gender, age, or disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 amended Title VI to specify that entire institutions receiving Federal funds, whether schools, colleges, governmental entities, or private employers must comply with Federal civil rights laws, rather than just the particular programs or activities that receive Federal funds.

We are also concerned about the impacts of our programs, projects, and activities on low-income and minority populations (“Environmental Justice”) under Title VI. Any person who believes that they are being denied participation in a project, being denied benefits of a program, or otherwise being discriminated against because of race, color, national origin, gender, age, or disability, you may contact:

Monona County Engineer

Or

The Civil Rights Coordinator; Iowa Department of Transportation
(800) 262-0003

You should contact the above individual or Iowa DOT office as soon as possible, but no later than 180 days after the alleged discrimination occurred, or if there has been a continuing course of conduct, no later than 180 days after the alleged discrimination was discontinued.
