ADOPTING AN EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN
AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 3535
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Redlands is
committed to the concept of equal employment opportunity in the
public service as a basic personnel principle, and has a long-
standing policy of avoiding discriminatory practices against any
person employed, or seeking employment, because of race, color,
religion, marital status, national origin, sex or age, except
where sex or age is a valid occupational qualificaton; and
WHEREAS, the acceptance of this equal employment
opportunity principle does not end with the mere prohibition
of discriminatory practices, but rather the City of Redlands
recognizes its obligation to develop practical plans for specific
steps to be taken to achieve more fully the goal of equal oppor-
tunity employment in city government; and
WHEREAS, as a public employer, the City of Redlands
recognizes that it has a particular responsibility to take what
action is possible to remove barriers to equal employment oppor-
tunity;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Redlands
affirms a policy of equal employment opportunity that includes
positive efforts in recruitment, examination, selection, promotion
and training procedures to ensure that those persons who are
otherwise qualified, but are disadvantaged by sex, age, or ethnic
background, are afforded the opportunity to achieve positions in
city government and are provided promotional opportunities, and
hereby adopts the attached Affirmative Action Plan to implement
that policy.
ADOPTED, SIGNED AND APPROVED this 15th day of December
