-26- A complainant may file his charge with any member of the Commission, or with its secretary or director or with the city clerk. This should provide easier access to the Commission. The purpose of this ordinance is to minimize formality in the process. The limitation period provided by subsection 4 is intentionally short. There are two reasons for this. In the first place, in this field evidence is evanescent. Rapidity of action is important. In the second place, the sixty-day period is geared to permit action by the state Commission if the local Commission is unable to secure compliance. The state period of limitation is ninety days.) Section 302. Notice to Iowa State Civil Rights Commission. 1. The secretary of the commission shall immediately notify the Iowa State Civil Rights Commission in writing of the filing of a charge under this ordinance by forwarding a copy of the charge, and shall provide such other and further information thereon as from time to time the Commission shall deem proper. 2. Whenever this ordinance requires the commission or its secretary to notify the Iowa State Civil Rights Commission of any matter, it shall be the duty of the secretary of the Commission to transmit such notice or information in writing within five (5) days of the event giving rise to the duty to give notice or information. (Comment. This notice provision is to maintain cooperation between city and state authorities in this field. Coordination of effort can only be assured through cooperation of the personnel from day to day, but the requirement of notice should assist in securing that cooperation. The section also permits the city Commission to send confidential information to the state agency.) Section 303. Investigation for probable cause; conciliation. 1. Within five (5) days after the filing of a charge, the chairman of the Commission, or in his absence or failure to act the vice-chairman or other member designated by the Commission, shall designate one or more members of the Commission or one or more members of the staff of the Commission to investigate the charge. This person or persons are hereafter designated as the "investigating committee." If two or more persons are members of the investigating committee, the vote of a majority shall determine all questions. If the members of the investigating committee are equally divided on some issue, the chairman of the investigating committee shall have an additional casting vote.
