The purpose of the preamble is to serve as a unifying statement of values and a vision for an equitable city. It is intended to set forth values to inform and guide the actions of city agencies and officers in carrying out the mandates created and delegated to them by the charter.
City agencies and officers empowered by this charter or other applicable law to perform planning, programmatic reviews, and audits are (1) authorized and required to consider and be guided by the values set out in the preamble within the scope and subject matter of such planning; and (2) authorized and required to examine the extent to which such values have been fulfilled through the policies and programs of city agencies and officers subject to such programmatic reviews and audits. The preamble, together with this section, is not intended to create a direct or indirect right of action to enforce its terms or the terms of any other provision of law.
