Handicapped employees and applicants may request an accommodation of their handicap by notifying the City in writing of the need for accommodation within 182 days of the date the handicapper knows or should know that an accommodation is needed. Failure to properly notify the City will preclude any claim that the employer failed to accommodate the handicapper.

3. I agree that any lawsuit against the City arising out of my employment or termination of employment, including but not limited to claims arising under State or Federal civil rights statutes, must be brought within one year of the event giving rise to the claims or be forever barred.
