History: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the federal law that protects individuals from discrimination on the basis of their race, color, or national origin in programs that receive federal financial assistance. In certain situations, failure to ensure that persons who have limited English proficiency can effectively participate in, or benefit from, federally assisted programs may violate Title VI's prohibition against national origin discrimination. Persons who, as a result of national origin, do not speak English as their primary language and who have limited ability to speak, read, write, or understand English may be entitled to language assistance under Title VI in order to receive a particular service, benefit, or encounter. Monroe County Four-Factor Analysis: The following Four-Factor Analysis will serve as the guide for determining which language assistance measures Monroe County will undertake to guarantee access to the Monroe County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs by LEP persons. 1. Number or proportion of LEP persons served or encountered in the eligible service population (served or encountered includes those persons who would be served by the recipient if the person received education and outreach and the recipient provided sufficient language services). Monroe County utilized American Community Survey data Table S1601 for the Key Largo CDP. The 2019 Census data states that of the population of 9,515 persons a total of 643 persons "speak English less than well". This is 6.75% of the total population. Based on this data, Key Largo CDP in Monroe County meets the 1,000 or 5% LEP persons threshold.

The proposed project is an infrastructure project that does not provide direct assistance to individuals. As a result, LEP persons rarely come into contact with the CDBG-CV program. However, all citizen participation activities are open to the general public throughout Monroe County. The use of Rowell's Waterfront Park as a testing and vaccination site would only occur in the event of a large scale pandemic such as COVID-19. If this were to occur, then the impacted population may visit the testing and vaccination site on several occurrences to be tested and/or vaccinated. 3. The nature and importance of the program, activity, or service provided by the program. Monroe County, in partnership with the Monroe County Public Health Department, is requesting up to $2.8 Million to enhance Rowell's Waterfront Park in Key Largo to serve as a future infectious disease testing and vaccination site. The Project would targeted facilities to this site in order to upgrade the facility including the addition of power outlets to provide electricity to the site, expanded sidewalks that would allow for controlling the residents while remaining at a safe social distance, installation of Wireless Local Network (WIFI) to provide communication and electronic connectivity at the site, parking space to accommodate the site, and enhanced lighting throughout the park. The parks will be designed to accommodate the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA). The proposed project does not provide direct assistance to individuals. As a result, LEP persons rarely come into contact with the CDBG program. However, all citizen participation activities are open to the general public. 3 4. The resources available and costs to the recipient. All information related to the CDBG-CV grant application is posted on the Monroe County website at http://www.monroecountv-fi.qov/1243/COVID-1 ecovery. This website can translate written materials into Spanish and 145 other languages by using the Google "Select Language" at the bottom of the page. Additionally, two Monroe County employees have been identified to provide oral translation services at public meetings and during conversations with LEP residents during the implementation of the proposed project if requested in advance. Furthermore, many of the common forms used in the implementation of a CDBG-CV project are available in multiple languages on the HUD and DOL websites. Additionally, translation activities are an eligible CDBG-CV administrative expense. Therefore, limited LAP measures are reasonable given the resources available to Monroe County. 5. This Language Access Plan has been implemented as of 9/22/2021 and is retroactively effective upon approval by the BOCC. 4 Monroe County, Florida Language Access Plan As a result of the preceding Four-Factor Analysis, Monroe County has identified the following types of language assistance to be provided on an as needed basis by Monroe County throughout the implementation of the CDBG-CV program: • All CDBG-CV citizen participation documents, project-related resolutions, public notices, and amendments will be available on the Monroe County website where they can be automatically translated into Spanish and 145 other languages by using the Google "Select Language" at the bottom of the website. • Additionally, all published citizen participation advertisements will include a statement in Spanish indicating other program materials are available in LEP language identified upon request. • All citizen participation notices will include a statement that translators will be available at public meetings upon prior request. • If other populations of LEP persons are identified in the future, Monroe County will consider additional measures to serve the language access needs of those persons.
