§ 57.14.5. Remedies.

For all charges of discrimination for which Chapter 57 of the Code of the City of Orlando is the only applicable law (including charges brought under Article V) and no state (under Ch. 760) or federal remedies (under Title VII, VIII, ADEA, ADA) are available, if a cause finding is made by the Human Relations staff and the case has not been successfully mediated or conciliated, either party may ask for the Chapter 57 Review Board to review the case as otherwise provided in Chapter 57. If either party is unsatisfied with the Chapter 57 Review Board determination, they may access the quasi-judicial hearing process as provided in Article XXXII of Chapter 2 of the City Code. The maximum penalty per violation shall be $500 and, under no circumstance shall any imprisonment or other criminal penalties be imposed for a violation of Chapter 57. The Human Relations staff, Board, quasi-judicial hearing officer and City Council shall interpret and determine the cases which come before them consistently with Title VII and Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and other civil rights laws, as amended; technical guidance issued by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and case law interpreting the same.
