About this Site

The City of Monterey, California operates an official City website at monterey.org
SITE MAP
The City of Monterey website is designed to provide residents access to City or local government departments, services and programs. Secondarily, the website also provides residents and visitors links to pertinent visitor-related information about the area. From time to time, departments may wish to provide links to other sites that provide state or federal government information, additional information about the community, including festivals, cultural events and local news, or other information supporting the department’s mission and programs.

The latest version of monterey.org (August 2021) is built by Revize and provides the latest web technology that allows for the best user experience from both desktop and mobile devices. We strive to comply with Website Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA which is the standard. https://w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/ 

ABOUT COOKIES
The reason this site doesn't have pop-up cookie settings like most sites is because Revize (our web content management software) only uses functional cookies needed for the site and user settings. None is server side and no data is collected.

Policies and Guidelines

Accessibility Design
The City is committed to making its websites accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We have made every effort to make our website accessible and easy to use by following the available standards and guidelines.

Currently, we are working to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and Section 508 requirements as set forth by the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) Accessibility Initiative. Ongoing validation testing is conducted using industry-recognized tools for coding and usability. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. By conforming to these guidelines, we strive to make our website user-friendly for everyone.

Adobe Acrobat PDF Files - We have a large number of documents in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). Download the latest free version of Adobe Reader in order to improve the viewing of these files. We are working on a process to ensure all PDFs are accessible. We provide alternative formats for any document, by request. Please contact webmaster@monterey.org to request an alternative format, and make sure you specify what file you want - include URL.

Screen readers - To assist our visitors who are visually impaired or blind, we are working to ensure our website is compatible with screen reading software. SEE ACCESSIBILITY FEATURE

Exceptions -
While we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website. Currently our not all of our PDF documents are compatible with screen reading software. If needed, site visitors may request a file in another format. The City will make reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Please contact webmaster@monterey.org to request an alternative format, and make sure you specify what file you want - include URL.

It is possible that the automated translations of the City’s Web pages may have errors and that not all text will be translated. The City does not warrant the accuracy or reliability of the translated text and shall not be liable for any losses or damages caused by reliance on the translated text.
