It is important that all Town employees enjoy a great and productive work place, for that reason the Town must take strong action to prevent and prohibit sexual harassment in the work place through strong policy and training.

The Town of Miami Lakes has a Discrimination and Harassment policy that was implemented on January 10, 2003. The State of Florida implemented a policy to prevent and prohibit sexual harassment this year. I would like to direct staff to review our current policy and determine if any of the states or any other sexual harassment policy should be incorporated into our town policy.

I would also like to impose the requirements of our revised policy to town elected officials and vendors through a resolution of the Town Council.
