A. If, upon completion of an investigation of a complaint, the administrator determines that an unlawful housing practice has occurred and is unable to secure an acceptable conciliation agreement from the respondent, then the administrator shall refer the case to the city attorney. The administrator shall refer the entire file to the city attorney, who shall determine how best to pursue further action, if any, on the complaint.
B. If the city attorney determines that cause exists that an unlawful housing practice occurred and the facts are sufficient to warrant the initiation of an action in justice court, then the city attorney shall provide written notification to the respondent and the complainant that an action to enforce this chapter may be initiated in justice court. If the city attorney determines that there is no cause that an unlawful housing practice occurred or that the facts are insufficient to warrant the initiation of an action in justice court, the city attorney shall provide written notification to the respondent and the complainant and notify the administrator who shall then dismiss the complaint.
