Human Resources and Economic Development Committee <br /> January 14, 1991 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Council Member Puzzello questioned whether there were indeed <br /> housing problems. The Committee was informed that currently <br /> there is an influx of housing complaints being received. <br /> Council President Niezgodski noted that he has been advised <br /> that there is approximately a two and a half to three year <br /> period before a case can be heard with regard to job <br /> discrimination. He stated that he would like proper staffing <br /> and has placed a call to Jon Hunt to do whatever is <br /> necessary for proper investigation of these complaints. He <br /> stated that he wants the backlog addressed. <br /> Mr. Hunt noted that currently there are two vacancies, <br /> namely the Investigative Assistant as well as the <br /> Investigator positions. He further noted that currently the <br /> City is under a hiring freeze, however he plans to have <br /> ongoing discussions with the City Controller. Currently <br /> there are 303 cases backlogged, down from 367. He noted that <br /> a report from the Human Rights Commission would be <br /> forthcoming to the Committee. <br /> Following further discussion, Council Member Slavinskas made <br /> a motion seconded by Council President Don Niezgodski that <br /> Bill Nos. 110-90, 111-90, and 112-90 all be recommended <br /> favorably to Council. The motion passed. <br /> There being no further business to come before the <br /> Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 4: 32 p.m. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Council Member Steve Luecke, Chairperson <br /> Human Resources and Economic Development Committee <br />
