Sec. 11-151. - Responsibility for administration and implementation.

(a)

The affirmative action plan commits all employees of the city to support the city's affirmative action policy. The plan reaffirms and implements the municipal government's belief in such policy and provides for a definite commitment to the policy on a continuing basis. In the implementation of this policy, the mayor exercises personal leadership in establishing, maintaining and carrying out the city's affirmative action efforts in order to promote equal opportunity in every aspect of city employment. To assist him in carrying out these policies, the affirmative action officer is assigned responsibility and authority as head of the city affirmative action policy.

(b)

Implementation of the plan will require coordination and cooperation among all divisions of city government and the community. Therefore, a permanent affirmative action committee shall be formed to work with the affirmative action officer and the mayor.

(c)

The committee shall be instrumental in the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the affirmative action program. The affirmative action committee shall also assist in educating the general community to the provisions of the affirmative action plan and equal opportunity policy of the city.
