Sec. 400.202. - Intent of program.

A diverse City workforce which is reasonably representative of the community is a desirable goal. When classes of persons are not represented in City employment to at least the same degree they are represented in the workforce, it may be attributable to discriminatory practices in job structuring, upward mobility, recruitment, selection, appointment, placement and training. It is the intent of the City in creating the Equal Opportunity/Equal Access Program established by this Part to determine the location and extent of under representation, to ascertain any contributing discriminatory practices and to direct corrective action to eliminate the discriminatory practices and to remedy the under representation which resulted. This intent shall govern the administration and implementation of the Equal Opportunity/Equal Access Program created by this Part. (Ord. 2004-699-E, § 4)
