(a) The intent of this Chapter is to establish a policy wherein the City ensures that nonprofit organizations with which the City chooses to do business operate with the greatest possible openness and maintain the closest possible ties to communities they intend to serve. Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to limit the level of openness and democracy in nonprofit organizations and any contracting nonprofit organization may establish policies that guarantee additional openness to stakeholders.
(b) This Chapter is intended to be cost-neutral in its effects upon nonprofit organizations, and the requirements imposed by this Chapter shall be subject to that intent. This Chapter is not intended to impose obligations equal to those of governmental agencies upon nonprofit organizations doing business with the City.
