-5- 6. To cooperate, within the limits of any appropriations made for its operation, with other agencies or organizations, both public and private, whose purposes are not inconsistent with those of this ordinance, and in the planning and conducting of programs designed to eliminate racial, religious, cultural and intergroup tensions. (Comment. These general statements of powers are derived from Iowa Code, section 105A.5(2), (3), (5), (6), (7), and (8), with alterations to make the provisions applicable to cities. The equivalent of section 105A.5(1) is section 104 of this ordinance. Section 105A.5(4), the power to hold hearings, is spelled out in considerably more detail than in Article Three of the ordinance. Code section 105A.5 is included in the second sentence of ordinance section 103. The two principal functions of the Commission should be public education and law enforcement. The enforcement duties are given in detail in Article Three of this ordinance. There is a full explanation of them at that point. In the field of public education, the Commission can sponsor school programs, radio and television programs, service club and community group speeches, and in-service training sessions for persons likely to encounter human rights problems. These can emphasize the importance to society of maintaining the basic civil rights of all members of the community. Thus these activities may prevent the occurrence of discriminatory practices. Neither education nor enforcement can provide a complete answer to the problems of human rights. Each complements the other in the policy of this ordinance.) Section 108. Declaration of policy. The __________ Human Rights Commission shall cooperate with the Iowa State Civil Rights Commission, the United States Civil Rights Commission, the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and other agencies with similar purposes. (Comment. National, state, and local governments all provide protection for civil rights. Unless the agencies cooperate, they will needlessly duplicate effort. This section directs the local Commission to cooperate with other federal and state agencies with educational and enforcement duties in this area.)
