Title
Resolution Opposing the City Charter Amendment (B)
Explanation
An objective of Chapter 8 of the City of Gainesville's Code of Ordinances is to discourage and eliminate discriminatory practices in employment, housing, public accommodation, and fair credit based on race, color, gender, age, religion, national origin, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
 
At its meeting on October 23, 2008, the Gainesville Human Rights Board voted to request that the City Commission pass a resolution opposing the City Charter Amendment contained in the initiative petition of "Citizens for Good Public Policy."
 
At the December 4, 2008, City Commission meeting, the Commission authorized the EO Director draft a resolution opposing the proposed City Charter Amendment subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
Recommendation
The City Commission adopt the proposed resolution.
