RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Equity and Human Relations Advisory Committee (EHRAC) (1) discuss the process for the online complaint portal egarding Discrimination, Retaliation, or Harassment.
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION
During the August 23, 2022, regular EHRAC meeting, committee member Rebecca Rona achieved consensus to place this item on the September 27, 2022 regular meeting agenda.
There is an online portal available on EHRAC’s City webpage where members of the public can submit a complaint for discrimination, retaliation, or harassment. Once a complaint is submitted through EHRAC’s online portal, the complaint is addressed by the appropriate City staff members. Whether the complaint form received pertains to discrimination, retaliation or harassment involving the City, or if it is a neighbor to neighbor dispute or other non-City matter, the complaint is addressed and the complainant receives a response from the appropriate City Staff person or persons.
The purpose of this agenda item is for the EHRAC to understand the process that City staff has in place with regard to receiving complaints through the portal, and how they are appropriately addressed and responded to.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact associated with this agenda item.
