About
The Commission was created by the equal opportunity ordinance. The mission is to fight discrimination against all the federally protected classes plus marital status and lawful source of income. The Commission accepts complaints of discrimination and holds a public hearing if probable cause is determined and conciliation fails. Subpoenas can be issued and penalties levied. The Director can file a complaint with the Commission if she/he has reasonable cause to believe a discriminatory practice is being or has been committed.
