Ordinance 19-11

This ordinance amends Title 2, “Administration and Personnel,” of the Bloomington Municipal Code at the request of the Bloomington Human Rights Commission and staff. It provides that anyone doing sanctioned work for the City of Bloomington who feels she or he has been discriminated against or harassed by a City employee has the right to bring that concern to the appropriate City official, who will investigate the concern promptly and take appropriate action. It also requires contractors covered by the City’s affirmative action requirements to implement a harassment policy for their employees. These changes will help ensure that anyone doing work for the City will have at least one avenue of redress, should she or he encounter possible discrimination or harassment at work.
