Human Relations Commission
The function of this commission is to make recommendations to the Mayor concerning the functions and operations of any department of the City, any city official, employee or agent, relative to their relationships and/or contacts with the general public.
The primary function of the commission is to receive and consider complaints and commendations made by the public concerning city government and its operations. Recommendations are then made to the Mayor based on the commission's evaluations.
