origin, sex, age, disability, religion, family status, ancestry, marital status,
<br />gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, pregnancy, handicap,
<br />or income status. The City also welcomes and actively seeks input from all
<br />interested parties.
<br />III. 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 to 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,
<br />religion, family status, ancestry, marital status, gender identity, gender
<br />expression, sexual orientation, pregnancy, handicap, or income status, in any
<br />City program, service or activity may file a complaint with the City's Title VI
