Pontiac — Part I Ch. 24 Human Relations and Social Services § 24-87
Compliance with other ordinances
Operative Text
Nothing in this article shall in any way obviate the need to comply with any resolutions adopted by the city before the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived pertaining to unfair employment practices and the applicability of the equal employment opportunity clause to contracts entered into by the city.
Section 24-87 of Pontiac's Human Relations and Social Services chapter clarifies that the article does not replace or eliminate obligations under earlier city resolutions addressing unfair employment practices or equal employment opportunity requirements in city contracts. In other words, pre-existing rules on these topics remain fully in effect alongside the article. The provision functions as a savings clause, ensuring no gap or conflict arises between the newer article and older city policy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers who enter into contracts with the City of Pontiac should be aware that § 24-87 preserves the force of any prior city resolutions on equal employment opportunity and unfair employment practices. Compliant operators generally ensure that equal employment opportunity clauses required by older city resolutions are still honored in any city-related contracts, even after this article took effect. Reviewing both the article and any applicable pre-existing resolutions together is the approach typically taken by operators seeking full compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 24-87 is primarily a housekeeping provision that protects the continuity of Pontiac's earlier equal employment opportunity and anti-discrimination rules in city contracting, rather than a provision that directly governs the landlord-tenant relationship. Tenants who believe they have experienced housing discrimination may still look to other sections of Ch. 24 for relevant protections, and tenant-rights organizations can help identify which provisions apply. Because § 24-87 itself does not create a direct tenant remedy, those with concerns about employment-related discrimination in a city contract context may wish to consult the city's human relations office or a legal aid organization.
