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 oc-
cupational qualification; 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 opportunity 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 pos-
sible to remove barriers to equal employment opportunity;
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 pro-
cedures 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.
