(Substituted by Ordinance No. 165383; amended by Ordinance No. 171993,
effective February 11, 1998.) The City of Portland has a compelling governmental
interest in prohibiting discrimination in programs, activities, services,
benefits and employment whether carried out by the City itself or through a
contractor with whom the City arranges to carry out its programs and activities.
In addition to provision found elsewhere in this Code, provisions relating to
equal employment opportunity, affirmative action and civil rights are
specifically to be found in Chapter 4.02 and Chapter 23.01. The City of
Portland’s policies and programs relating to affirmative action are contained in
its annual Affirmative Action Plan. Individual City bureaus may have specific
programs designed to further the broad goals of equal employment opportunity,
affirmative action and civil rights. It is unlawful to discriminate on the basis
of race, religion, color, sex, marital status, familial status, national origin,
age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation or source of income in
programs, activities, services, benefits, and employment whether carried out by
the City of Portland, directly or through a contractor or any other entity with
whom the City of Portland arranges to carry out its programs and activities
except as allowed by federal law, rules and regulations.
