-14- city Commission. An individual may wish to attempt to settle his grievance locally, but may not wish to forfeit the superior remedies which the state Commission has at its disposal. This formulation permits local settlement of local disputes, where possible. Compare to section 302, which requires the local Commission to inform the state Commission of any proceeding before it. 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.)
