§ 20.42.010. Purpose.

The City finds that minority and women businesses are significantly under-represented and have been underutilized on City Contracts. Additionally, the City does not want to enter into agreements with businesses that discriminate in employment and the provision of services. The purpose and intent of this chapter are to provide the maximum practicable opportunity for increased participation by minority and women owned and controlled businesses, as long as such businesses are underrepresented, and to ensure that City contracting practices do not support discrimination in employment and services when the City procures public works, goods, and services from the private sector.
