For Property Managers

As a property owner or manager, section 24-86 governs internal city employment practices rather than private rental operations. Operators who contract with or seek licensing from the City of Pontiac may find it useful to understand that the city holds itself to the equal employment standards referenced in section 24-82. Staying informed about the city's broader human relations framework can help operators understand the regulatory environment in which they work.

For Tenants

Section 24-86 establishes that Pontiac's mayor and city council are responsible for maintaining an affirmative action program aligned with the equal employment policy in section 24-82. While this provision directly addresses city employment rather than tenant-landlord matters, it reflects the city's broader commitment to equal treatment under its Human Relations and Social Services code. Tenants who believe related equal-treatment protections have been violated may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review other provisions within Chapter 24 for applicable remedies.
