RE: BROOKINGS HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE
Dear Steve:
Reference is made to our telephone conversation ,
regarding the Brookings Human Rights Committee. As I indicated to
you, the County is considering appointing the Human Rights
Committee as a grievance procedure under the -ADA. The County
would simply adopt the grievance procedures previously established
by the Brookings Human Rights Committee.
In doing so, the County would like to have the option to
appoint one member of the Human Rights Committee. This would
provide a liaison between the Committee and the County
Commissioners . I have prepared a proposed Ordinance for
submission to the City Commission, which would provide for these
changes . Enclosed you will find a copy of the Ordinance. In
addition, I have prepared a proposed change to Section 1 of the
Brookings Human Rights Committee Grievance Procedures . This
change would accommodate the inclusion of Brookings County in
these procedures .
I would ask that you review these documents and get back
to me with any proposals or comments . If the same meet with your
approval, I would seek your assistance in submitting these to the
Brookings City Commission for consideration.
Awaiting to hear from you, I remain.
