(A) If the Fair Housing Administrator has made a determination pursuant to § 94.30(A) that there are reasonable grounds to believe that a violation of this chapter has occurred, the Commission shall:
(1) Notify the complainant and respondent of the time, place and date of a conciliation conference at least ten days prior thereto, and both parties shall appear at the conciliation conference in person or by attorney; and
(2) 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 the 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. Consent agreements shall be signed on behalf of the Commission by its Chairperson.
(B) If the complaint has not been resolved by conciliation within 60 calendar days after it has been received or initiated by the Commission, the Fair Housing Administrator shall refer the complaint to the Commission for an adjudicative hearing.
