[Ord. #75-05, § 1; 1958 Code § 2.22-6;
Ord. #97-08]
Any group, club or organization which, by their rules, regulations
and/or practices, discriminate by reason of race, religious creed,
color, national origin, ancestry, sex or sexual orientation, shall
be denied the use of City facilities, including, but not limited to
park and recreational facilities, which facilities are owned, operated
or managed by the City, or are financed in whole or in part by the
City, from any source whatsoever.
Any group, club or organization which receives any financial
aid, monetary, material or otherwise, from the City, and which by
their rules, regulations and/or practices, discriminate by reason
of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex or
sexual orientation, shall be denied any such aid, or shall have such
aid suspended as long as such discrimination exists.
"Discrimination" as used herein is not intended to include any
group, club or organization where race, religious creed, color, national
origin, ancestry, sex or sexual orientation is a bona fide qualification
for membership therein and necessary to carry out the purposes of
such group.
Anyone aggrieved by the use, denial of the use or proposed use
of such facilities, or whose financial aid is suspended or denied
as set out above, may apply to the City Council for a public hearing
thereon. The Council shall determine, after such public hearing, whether
such group, club or organization does engage in the prohibited discriminatory
practices. Such public hearing shall be held at the earliest Council
meeting following receipt by the Council of such request for hearing.
The provisions of the Civil Rights Acts then in effect shall
be used to establish the standards and criteria for the Council in
the determination of existing prohibited discriminatory practices.
