<br /> interested parties.
<br /> Ill. Nondiscrimination Assurances
<br /> Every three years, or commensurate with a change in executive leadership, the
<br /> City must certify to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Florida
<br /> Department of Transportation (FDOT) that its programs, services and activities
<br /> are being conducted in a nondiscriminatory manner. These certifications are
<br /> termed `assurances' and serve two important purposes. First, they document
<br /> the City's commitment to nondiscrimination and equitable service its
<br /> community. Second, they serve as a legally enforceable agreement by which
<br /> the City may be held liable for breach. Those wishing to view the City's
<br /> Nondiscrimination Assurance may do so by visiting the City's website or the
<br /> City Attorney's Office at the Government Center.
<br /> IV. Complaint Procedures
<br /> The City has established a discrimination complaint procedure and will take
<br /> prompt and reasonable action to investigate and eliminate discrimination when
<br /> found. Any person who believes that he or she has been subjected to
<br /> discrimination based upon race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability,
