Title VI Compliance Notice
TITLE VI OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT NOTICE TO PUBLIC
The City of Forest Park hereby gives public notice of its policy to uphold and assure full compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, and all related statutes. Title VI and related statutes prohibiting discrimination in federally-assisted programs require that no person in the United States of America shall, on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal assistance. The City of Forest Park further assures every effort will be made to ensure non-discrimination in all its programs and activities, whether those programs and activities are federally funded or not.
The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, broadened the scope of Title VI coverage by expanding the definition of terms “programs or activities” to include all programs and activities of Federal Aid recipients, sub-recipients, and contractors/consultants, whether such programs are federally assisted or not.
Any person who believes they have been aggrieved by an unlawful discriminatory practice regarding the City of Forest Park programs has a right to file a formal complaint with the City. City employees shall follow the provisions of the City’s Employee Policy and Procedure Manual to file a formal complaint. For non-City employees, any such complaint must be in writing and submitted to the City’s Title VI Coordinator within 180 days following the date of the alleged occurrence.
