employment and personnel actions with respect to its employees,
prospective employees, and applicants on the basis of familial or

be denied employment or benefits of employment on the basis of his or
her familial or marital status. This policy applies to the selection
of persons for a training program leading to employment in addition to
the above -designated persons. The City of Lodi reserves the right to
reasonably regulate for reasons of supervision, safety, security, or
morale, the working of spouses and relatives in the same department,
division, or facility.
Further, the Council finds that in the following situations and
pursuant to Government Code §12940(3), the following provisions are
necessary:
Marital status is defined as an individual's state of marriage,
non -marriage, divorce or dissolution, separation, widowhood, annulment,
or other marital state for the purpose of this anti -discrimination
policy.
Spouse is defined as a partner in marriage as defined in
California Civil Code Section 4100.
Familial status is defined as the state of an individual's
specific relatives working for the City of Lodi and shall include
spouse, child, brother, sister, parent or parent -in-law.
II. The City of Lodi shall prohibit the initial appointment to a
position within the City of Lodi of any person or employee who has the
status of marital or familial relationship with the Lodi City Manager,
Assistant City Manager, City Attorney, or Personnel Director, members
of the City Council and in the case of Library employees, members of
the Library Board or the City Librarian. Further, the City will
prohibit the employment in that Department of any person who has status
of marital or familial relationship with the Department Head of that;
Department.
III. The City of Lodi shall prohibit the initial appointment or
advancement of any person or employee to any position within any
department within the City of Lodi, wherein that person so appointed or
advanced would or may in any manner or form, supervise, dispatch, or
evaluate; or wherein that person would or may be supervised, dispatched
or evaluated by any person within the same department, where, in either
event, there exists a marital or familial status factor between said
persons. The provisions of this paragraph (Part III) shall not apply
to part time employees who may supervise, dispatch or evaluate other

In the event two persons employed in the same City department
marry each other and would thereby fall within the prohibitions listed
in this Resolution, one of such employees shall be transferred to a
comparable position, if any exists, in another City department.
