§ 126.401. Policy.  


Latest version.
  • It is hereby declared to be the City policy to assure equal opportunities to every person, regardless of race, religion, sex, color, age, handicap or national origin, in securing or holding employment in a field of work or labor for which the person is qualified, as provided and enforced by Chapter 402. It is also the City policy that persons doing business with the City shall recognize and comply with this policy and will not expend public funds in a manner as will encourage, perpetuate or foster discrimination. Nevertheless, it is not the intent or policy of the City to impose or require quotas or other formulas based on race, religion, sex, color, age, handicap or national origin for securing or holding employment or awarding City contracts or to create a presumption of discrimination or nondiscrimination. This provision shall be automatically updated to conform to applicable state and federal law on protected categories.
