Department of Fair Employment and Housing, or successor agency, or the Federal Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission, or successor agency, that CONSULTANT has violated
state or federal anti -discrimination laws relative to this Agreement shall constitute a finding by
CITY that CONSULTANT has violated the anti -discrimination provisions of this Agreement.
