CIVIL RIGHTS CERTIFICATION FORM
The funds provided to the grantee named below(hereinafter referred to as the"Grantee")are available under

distributed through the City of Kent,Grantee provides the assurances stated herein.The federal financial
assistance may include federal grants, loans and contracts to provide assistance to Grantee,the use or rent of
Federal land or property at below market value, Federal training, a loan of Federal personnel, subsidies,and
other arrangements with the intention of providing assistance. Federal financial assistance does not
encompass contracts of guarantee or insurance, regulated programs, licenses, procurement contracts by the
Federal government at market value,or programs that provide direct benefits.
The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 provides that the provisions of the assurances apply to all of the
operations of Grantee's program(s)and activity(ies),so long as any portion of Grantee's program(s)or
activity(ies)is federally assisted in the manner prescribed above
Grantee certifies the following:
1. Grantee ensures its current and future compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,as

by the Department of the Treasury Title VI regulations at 31 CFR Part 22 and other pertinent executive
orders such as Executive Order 13166, directives,circulars, policies, memoranda,and/or guidance
documents.
2. Grantee acknowledges that Executive Order 13166, "Improving Access to Services for Persons with
Limited English Proficiency,"seeks to improve access to federally assisted programs and activities for
individuals who, because of national origin, have Limited English proficiency(LEP). Grantee understands
that denying a person access to its programs,services,and activities because of LEP is a form of national
origin discrimination prohibited under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Department of the
Treasury's implementing regulations.Accordingly,Grantee shall initiate reasonable steps,or comply with
the Department of the Treasury's directives,to ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to its
programs,services, and activities.Grantee understands and agrees that meaningful access may entail
providing language assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation where
necessary,to ensure effective communication in Grantee's programs,services, and activities.
3. Grantee agrees to consider the need for language services for LEP persons when Grantee develops
applicable budgets and conducts programs,services,and activities.As a resource,the Department of the
Treasury has published its LEP guidance at 70 FR 6067. For more information on taking reasonable steps
to provide meaningful access for LEP persons, please visit http://www.lep.gov.
4. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the assurances constitutes a condition of
continued receipt of federal financial assistance and is binding upon Grantee and its successors,
transferees,and assignees for the period in which such assistance is provided.
5. Grantee shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,which prohibits Grantees of federal
financial assistance from excluding from a program or activity,denying benefits of,or otherwise
discriminating against a person on the basis of race,color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. §2000d et seq.),as
implemented by the Department of the Treasury's Title VI regulations,31 CFR Part 22,which are herein
incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract(or agreement).Title VI also includes
protection to persons with "Limited English Proficiency"in any program or activity receiving federal
financial assistance,42 U.S.C. §2000d et seq.,as implemented by the Department of the Treasury's Title
VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, and herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract or
agreement.
6. Grantee understands and agrees that if any real property or structure is provided or improved with the
aid of federal financial assistance by the Department of the Treasury,this assurance obligates Grantee,or
in the case of a subsequent transfer,the transferee,for the period during which the real property or
structure is used for a purpose for which the federal financial assistance is extended or for another
