programs; and award contracts for work undertaken in connection with a

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICY
1. Provision of Program Services
a. SUB -RECIPIENT shall not, on the grounds of race, religion, color, national origin,
sex, sexual preference, or handicap, exclude any person from participation in,
deny any person the benefits of, or subject any person to discrimination under
any program or activity funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds.
b. SUB -RECIPIENT shall not under any program or activity funded in whole or in
part with CDBG funds, on the grounds of race, religion, color, national origin,
sex, sexual preference, or handicap:
1) Deny any facilities, services, financial aid or other benefits
provided under the program or activity; or
2) Provide any facilities, services, financial aid, or other benefits
which are different or are provided in a different form from that
provided to others under the program or activity; or
3) Subject to segregated or separate treatment in any facility in, or
in any matter of process related to receipt of any service or
benefit under the program or activity; or
4) Restrict in any way access to, or in the enjoyment of any
advantage or privilege enjoyed by others in connection with
facilities, services, financial aid, or other benefits under the
program or activity; or
5) Treat an individual differently from others in determining whether
the individual satisfies any admission, enrollment, eligibility,
membership, or other requirement or condition which the
individual must meet in order to be provided any facilities,
services, or other benefits provided under the program or
activity; or
6) Deny any opportunity to participate in a program or activity as an
employee.
c. SUB -RECIPIENT may not utilize criteria or methods of administration which have
the effect of subjecting individuals to discrimination on the basis of race,
religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual preference, or handicap, or have the
effect of defeating or substantially impairing accomplishment of the objectives of
the program or activity with respect to individuals of a particular race, religion,
color, national origin, sex, sexual preference or handicap.
d. SUB -RECIPIENT, in determining the site or location of housing or facilities
provided in whole or in part with CDBG funds, may not make selections of such
site or location which have the effect of excluding individuals from, denying
them the benefits of, or subjecting them to discrimination on the grounds of
race, color, national origin, or sex, or which have the purpose or effect of
defeating or substantially impairing the accomplishment of the objectives of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 and amendments thereto:
e. In administering a program or activity funded in whole or in part with CDBG
funds regarding which the SUB -RECIPIENT has previously discriminated against
persons on the grounds of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual
preference or handicap, the SUB -RECIPIENT must take affirmative action to
overcome the effects of prior discrimination.
f. Even in the absence of such prior discrimination, a SUB -RECIPIENT in
administering a program or activity funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds
should take affirmative action to overcome the effects of conditions which would
otherwise result in limiting participation by persons of a particular race, color,
national origin, or sex. Where previous discriminatory practice or usage tends,
on the grounds of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual preference, or
handicap, to exclude individuals from participation in, to deny them the benefits
of, or to subject them to discrimination under any program or activity to which
CDBG funding applies, the SUB -RECIPIENT has an obligation to take reasonable
action to remove or overcome the consequences of the prior discriminatory
practice or usage, and to accomplish the purpose of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
g. A SUB -RECIPIENT shall not be prohibited by this part from taking any eligible
action to ameliorate an imbalance in services or facilities provided to any
geographic area or specific group of persons within its jurisdiction where the
purpose of such action is to overcome prior discriminatory practice or usage.
h. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections J. 1. (a. through h.),
nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit any SUB -RECIPIENT
from maintaining or constructing separate living facilities or rest -room facilities
for the different sexes. Furthermore, selectivity on the basis of sex is not
prohibited when institutional or custodial services can properly be performed
only by a member of the same sex as the recipients of the services.
2. Employment Discrimination
a. SUB -RECIPIENT shall not discriminate against any employee or application for
employment because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or
handicap. SUB -RECIPIENT shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants
are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without
regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or handicap. Such
action shall include, but not be limited to, the following: employment,
upgrading, demotion, or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff
or termination, rate -of -pay or other forms of compensation and selection for
training including apprenticeship. SUB -RECIPIENT agrees to post in conspicuous
places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices setting
forth the provisions of this non-discrimination clause.

which it has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or
understanding, a notice to be provided by the CDC's contracting officers,
advising the labor union or workers' representative of SUB -RECIPIENT'S
commitments under Section 202 of Executive Order No. 11246 of September
24, 1965, and shall post copies of the notices in conspicuous places available to
employees and applicants for employment.
d. SUB -RECIPIENT shall comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the
Secretary of Labor..
e. SUB -RECIPIENT shall furnish to the CDC all information and reports required by
Executive Order No. 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by the related rules,
regulations, and orders.
f. In the event of SUB -RECIPIENTS failure to comply with any rules, regulations,
or orders required to be complied with pursuant to this Agreement, the CDC
may cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part its performance and SUB -
RECIPIENT may be declared ineligible for further government contracts in
accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order No. 11246 of
September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions as may be imposed and
remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order No. 11246 of September 24,
1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise
provided by law.
g.
SUB -RECIPIENT shall include the provisions of Section II. J. 2. (a. through f.),
"Affirmative Action Policy," paragraphs (1) through (6) in every subcontract or
purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or order of the Secretary
of Labor issued pursuant to Section 204 of Executive Order No. 11246 of
September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each
subcontractor or vendor. SUB -RECIPIENT shall take such action with respect to
any subcontract or purchase order as the CDC may direct as a means of
enforcing such provisions including sanctions for non-compliance; provided,
however, that in the event SUB -RECIPIENT becomes involved in, or is
threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such
direction by the CDC, SUB -RECIPIENT may request the United States to enter
into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
h. SUB -RECIPIENT shall not discriminate on the basis of age in violation of any
provision of the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 6101 et seq.) or with
respect to any otherwise qualified handicapped individual as provided in Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794). SUB -RECIPIENT shall
also provide ready access to and use of all CDBG fund -assisted buildings to
physically handicapped persons in compliance with the standards established in
the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 4151 et seq.).

regulations, or orders required to be complied with pursuant to this Agreement, the
CDC may cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part its performance and SUB -
RECIPIENT may be declared ineligible for further government contracts and any such
other sanctions as may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided by law.

EXPLANATION
On April 21, 2009, the National City Living History Farm Preserve received an allocation of
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for $39,679 for the initial phase of
rehabilitation of the Stein Farm Barn through the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 CDBG funding cycle. The
funded activity would allow the Stein Farm to get a structural engineering report and begin the work
of stabilizing the barn building.
The Stein Farm received a $10,000.00 grant from previous year CDBG funds to purchase materials for
the construction of new ADA compliant restrooms. The Stein Farm could not secure volunteer labor and
used the funds to begin construction by completing the foundation for the restrooms. The Stein Farm
plans to redirect the FY 2009-2010 CDBG grant award to complete construction of the male and female
restroom facilities and use the remaining funds to pay for termite remediation at the Stein House. Both
projects are proposed to be completed by June 2010.
The City Council Resolution will approve the new scope of work and authorize the Mayor to execute a
CDBG Subrecipient Agreement with the National City Living History Farm Preserve to complete the
restroom facilities and treat the Stein House to cure termite infestation.
