Bloomfield
Hills Title VI Plan
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a Federal law
that states that no person shall on the ground of race,
color, national origin, gender or disabilities be excluded
from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be
subjected to discrimination under any program or any
activity receiving Federal funds. The entire institution
whether educational, private, or governmental must comply
with the Federal civil rights laws, not just the particular
programs or activities receiving the federal funds.
Title VI Complaints
Title VI complaints of discrimination may be filed with
the City Manager. Complaints should be filed within 180 days
of the alleged discrimination. If you could not reasonable
be expected to know that the act was discriminatory within
the 180 day period, you have 60 days after you became aware
to file your complaint.
Complaints must be in writing and must be signed by the
complainant and/or the complainant's representative. The
complaint must set forth as fully as possible the facts and
circumstances surrounding the claimed discrimination. In
cases where the complainant is unable or incapable of
providing a written statement, the complainant will be
assisted in converting the verbal complaint into a written
complaint. All complaints, however, must be signed by the
complainant and/or by the complainant's representative.
If a Title VI complaint is received on a Michigan
Department of Transportation (MDOT) related contract against
the City of Bloomfield Hills, MDOT will be responsible for
conducting the investigation of the complaint. Upon receipt
of a complaint filed against the city, the complaint and any
pertinent information should immediately be forwarded to the
MDOT, Office of Civil Rights Programs.
