The city is an equal opportunity employer. Qualifications for employment and promotion are based upon ability to perform the job. Equal employment opportunities are provided to all applicants and employees without regard to actual or perceived age, ancestry, citizenship status, national origin, religion, creed, sex, gender, gender identity, gender transitioning status, sexual orientation, pregnancy (including childbirth and medical conditions related to pregnancy and childbirth), marital status, disability (physical or mental), genetic information, race, color, sealed or expunged arrest records not resulting in conviction, military discharge or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. Furthermore, no person will be discriminated against due to a mental or physical disability which does not prevent the individual from performing the essential functions of the job, with or without reasonable accommodation. Everyone will be given equal opportunity commensurate with their abilities. Laws regarding veteran's status will also be observed. The city will earnestly seek the cooperation of all employees in helping to maintain this policy. Throughout this chapter, the interchangeable use of masculine and feminine pronouns is in no way intended to exclude members of the opposite sex.
