Title VI Nondiscrimination Policy
The Village of Pinecrest values diversity and welcomes input from all interested parties, regardless of cultural identity, background or income level. Pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 and the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992, the Village of Pinecrest will not exclude from participation in, deny the benefits of, or subject to discrimination anyone on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, income or family status.

ADA/504 Statement
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and related federal and state laws and regulations forbid discrimination against those who have disabilities. Furthermore, these laws require federal aid recipients and other government entities to take affirmative steps to reasonably accommodate the disabled and ensure that their needs are equitably represented in transportation programs, services and activities. The Village will make every effort to ensure that its facilities, programs, services, and activities are accessible to those with disabilities.
The Village encourages the public to report any facility, program, service or activity that appears inaccessible to those who are disabled. Furthermore, the Village will provide reasonable accommodation to disabled individuals who wish to participate in public involvement events or who require special assistance to access facilities, programs, services or activities. Because providing reasonable accommodation may require outside assistance, organization or resources, the Village asks that requests be made at least five (5) calendar days prior to the need for accommodation. Questions, concerns, comments or requests for accommodation should be made to the ADA Coordinator:
