state & local government (ADA Title II)

State and local governments must give primary consideration to what the person with a disability requests.  So if this same person who is Deaf plans to attend a City Council meeting and requests an interpreter, the city must provide it unless doing that would somehow be impossible - maybe because the request was just made the morning of the meeting and no interpreter could be found on such short notice.  However, the city must make a good faith effort to secure the services of an interpreter.
