(B) During or after the investigation, but subsequent to the mailing of the notice of complaint, the municipality shall, if it appears that a discriminatory housing practice has occurred or is threatening to occur, attempt by informal endeavors to effect conciliation, including voluntary discontinuance of the discriminatory housing practice and adequate assurance of future voluntary compliance with the provisions of this chapter. Nothing said or done in the course of such informal endeavors may be made public by the municipality, by the complainant, or by any other party to the proceedings without the written consent of all persons concerned.

If the Municipal Attorney determines to prosecute, he or she shall institute a complaint and prosecute same to conclusion within 30 days after such determination, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
