The large number of cases being filed has placed a <br /> tremendous burden on the entire Human Rights Commission Staff. <br /> While we don' t think it' s feasible to think in terms of additional <br /> Staff, we, the appointed Commission, have found what we believe <br /> is a fair way to compensate our present Staff for the work they <br /> are doing. <br /> We are proposing several changes for the Human Rights Commission. <br /> The changes will give the Commission flexibility to accommodate <br /> the changing responsibilities of our Staff. I would emphasize <br /> that all proposed changes and/or salary increases will be paid by <br /> federal funds. The salary increases will bring the Commission' s <br /> Staff salaries more in line with what we believe other City <br /> employees are being paid who are doing work of similar skill, <br /> effort and responsibility, at no additional cost to the City. <br /> 1- - -- - -- -- - - - - - - -- '-— .—._ - - __a_ <br />
