WHEREAS, April 11, 2011, marks the 43rd anniversary of the passage of the U.S. Fair
Housing Law, specifically Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, which
enunciates a national policy of Fair Housing without regard to race, color, creed, national origin,
sex, familial status, and handicap, and encourages fair housing opportunities for all citizens; and
WHEREAS, the City of Petaluma and Petaluma People Services Center are committed
to highlight the Fair Housing Law by continuing to address discrimination in our community, to
support programs that will educate the public about the right to equal housing opportunities, and
to help assure all Petalumans of their right to fair housing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT I, David Glass, Mayor of Petaluma,
along with the members of the Petaluma City Council, do hereby proclaim April 2011 as Fair
Housing Month and urge our citizens to rededicate themselves to ensuring that fair housing laws
are always upheld and citizens are protected against discrimination.
