This story tickles the bureaucratic documentarian in me. From the Kalamazoo Gazette‘s Kalamazoo works on process for filing grievances as new anti-discrimination law takes effect:
Kalamazoo voters approved an expanded anti-discrimination ordinance Tuesday, but the process for filing a complaint alleging discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is still a work in progress.…Now city officials are working on developing a process for people to file discrimination grievances and have them investigated.
Kalamazoo City Attorney Clyde Robinson said he is not anticipating a brisk business as a result of the ordinance, pointing to the experience of several other Michigan communities that have adopted similar laws.
But the paperwork, staffing and expense tied to administering Kalamazoo’s new law are still unknown…
Form boxes to fill out for documentation:
The document should include “names, dates, witnesses and other factual matters relevant to the claim,” according to the new city ordinance.
So, the work on the Kalamazoo Ordinance isn’t complete is in place to file the appropriate form is developed to file the appropriate documentation to document alleged discrimination.
Woo-hoo! Forms!
