 Title VI Notice to the Public The City of Sioux City hereby gives public notice that it is the policy of the Department to assure full compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, related statutes and regulation provide that no person shall on the grounds of race, color, or national origin be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

We are also concerned about the impacts of our programs, projects and activities on low income and minority populations (“Environmental Justice”) under Title VI.
