825.11 CONCILIATION.

   If the Law Director has made a determination pursuant to Section 825.10 that there are reasonable grounds to believe that a violation of Section 825.04 has occurred, or at such other time after a complaint has been filed, as appropriate, the Law Director shall:

   (a)   Notify the complainant and respondent of the time, place and date of the conciliation conference at least ten days prior thereto, and both parties shall appear at the conciliation conference in person or by attorney; and

   (b)   Attempt to resolve the complaint by methods of conference, conciliation and persuasion with all interested parties and such representatives as the parties may choose to assist them. Conciliation conferences shall be informal and nothing said or done during such conferences shall be made public unless the parties agree thereto in writing. The terms of conciliation agreed to by the parties shall be reduced to writing and incorporated into a consent agreement to be signed by the parties, subject to approval by the Fair Housing Review Commission. The terms of the conciliation agreement shall be made public unless the complainant and the respondent agree otherwise, and the Commission determines that disclosure is not required to further the purposes of this chapter.

   (c)   If the complaint has not been resolved by conciliation within sixty calendar days after it has been received, the Law Director shall refer the complaint to the Fair Housing Review Commission for an adjudicative hearing.
