Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 17-121 of Peoria's Chapter 17 places a formal obligation on the city manager to create and sustain an affirmative action program aimed at putting the city's fair employment policy—described in § 17-117—into practice within city employment. The provision is directed at the city's own workforce and hiring practices, not at private employers. It establishes an ongoing administrative duty rather than a one-time action.

For Property Managers

Although § 17-121 is directed at the city manager's internal employment obligations rather than private landlords, property owners operating in Peoria should be aware that the city maintains an active commitment to fair employment principles under Chapter 17. Compliant operators generally stay informed about the broader human relations framework in which local housing and employment rules are embedded. Understanding the city's own affirmative action obligations under § 17-121 can provide useful context for interpreting related provisions in Chapter 17.

For Tenants

Section 17-121 establishes that the city of Peoria itself is bound by an affirmative action program in its own employment practices, reflecting the fair employment policy set out in § 17-117. While this provision governs city employment rather than tenant-landlord relationships directly, it signals the city's broader commitment to equitable treatment under Chapter 17. Tenants who believe related human relations protections have been violated may wish to contact the city's human relations office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what remedies may be available.
