Purpose
The board of supervisors finds that the injustices and the inequities resulting from prejudice,
intolerance and discrimination against any individual or group because of race, religion, sex,
sexual orientation, national origin, age, or because of any arbitrary factor such as socio-economic
status, marital status or personal handicaps, promote tension and conflict and constitute an unconscionable
menace to the public welfare; that to eliminate such prejudice and inequity and thereby promote public
health, welfare and security, an instrumentality should be established through which practices to
achieve better human relations can be provided, and private persons and groups may be officially
assisted in promoting good will and better relations among all people. (Ord. 11325 § 1 (part),
