Jacksonville Ordinance Code § 400.220 Goals and objectives generally.

Sec. 400.220. - Goals and objectives generally. To implement the Equal Opportunity/Equal Access Program, goals and objectives are required. A goal is the end result toward which the Equal Opportunity/Equal Access Program is directed. An objective is an aim or end of a particular action designed to achieve a goal; it is considered a part of the goal but is a measurable, quantifiable and specific action attainable or capable of being accomplished in a reasonably short time through good faith efforts. The statement of the goals of the Equal Opportunity/ Equal Access Program is contained in Section 400.221; the method by which the objectives of the Equal Employment/Equal Access Program will be determined is contained in Section 2.22. (Ord. 2004-699-E, § 4)

Jacksonville Ordinance Code § 400.221 Statement of goals.

Sec. 400.221. - Statement of goals. The City declares the goals of the Equal Opportunity/Equal Access Program to be as follows: (a) To discover and eliminate those areas of City employment where under representation exists. (b) To secure diversity representative of the community in all areas of City employment. (c) To indoctrinate the Equal Opportunity/Equal Access policy of the City in the administrative and supervisory personnel having the authority to make it effective. (d) To establish and maintain an effective and positive Equal Opportunity/Equal Access image and posture. (e) To establish and maintain a productive Equal Opportunity/Equal Access plan that results in ongoing positive, measurable changes throughout the City.

Jacksonville Ordinance Code § 400.222 Determination of objectives.

Sec. 400.222. - Determination of objectives. The determination of the objectives by which the goals stated in Section 400.221 will be accomplished is a continuing task and the enumeration of individual objectives in this Chapter is considered inappropriate by the Council. Nevertheless, the City is desirous that it be informed of the objectives and of the changes in them and directs that the Mayor determine objectives in the manner prescribed in this Part.
