Staff reports employment case newly filed and housing case with DOJ remains on hold
Summary
Commission staff said a new employment case was recently filed and moving toward conciliation; a housing matter referred to the Department of Justice has been on hold for about two years; a public-accommodations matter is likely to be filed.
Commission staff updated the Salina Humanities Commission on pending enforcement dockets, saying a new employment case was recently filed and staff expect it may move to conciliation.
On housing matters, staff said one complaint has been with the Department of Justice for about two years and remains on hold; staff report they follow up with HUD when possible but have had difficulty reaching their usual HUD contact. "The last thing we know is it's still on hold," said a commission staff member.
Staff also said the commission is likely to file one public-accommodations complaint because the disability rights center did not appear to take it up; staff described the underlying issue as static and not time-barred by the statute of limitations.
The nut graf: the update was informational rather than decisional — staff described case status and promised to provide further updates at future meetings when more information becomes available.
Ending: staff invited questions; commissioners asked staff to continue following up with HUD and to report back at the next meeting.
