(a) During or after the investigation, but subsequent to the mailing of the notice of the complaint to the respondent, the administrator shall, if it appears that an unlawful practice has occurred, attempt to conciliate the complaint. In conciliating a complaint, the administrator shall try to achieve a just resolution and obtain assurances that the respondent will satisfactorily remedy any violation of the complainant’s rights and take action to ensure the elimination of both present and future unlawful practices in compliance with this chapter. Nothing said or done during the course of conciliation may be made public or be used as evidence in a subsequent proceeding under this chapter, without the written consent of all persons concerned.
(b) A conciliation agreement executed under this section must be in writing in a form approved by the city attorney and must be signed and verified by the respondent and the complainant, subject to approval of the administrator who shall indicate approval by signing the agreement. A conciliation agreement is executed upon its signing and verification by all parties to the agreement.
(c) A party to an executed conciliation agreement may not be prosecuted in municipal court for the unlawful practice identified in the agreement unless the administrator determines that the agreement has been violated and notifies the city attorney in writing of the violation. (Ord. 24927)
