How the Jamestown Human Rights Commission will handle complaints and issues has been determined.
During the monthly meeting of the commission last week, the group discussed the protocols that will be used to handle complaints and issues in the community.
Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist said the commission will have to determine how it will decide what issues will be discussed and what action the group might take. He said the commission will have authority over human rights complaints the city receives. For example, if a contractor thinks there is a bias against their company, they can file a complaint with the commission. Or if an individual thinks they didn’t acquire a new job because of a human rights issue, they can file a complaint with the commission.
