RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE STAFF AND CITY MANAGER
The Commission recommended establishing a set of guidelines
governing the Civil Rights Specialist's involvement in
referring cases alleging discrimination to State and Federal
agencies since the Civil Rights Specialist reported devoting
considerable time in this effort. The Civil Rights Specialist
noted that the State's procedural standards in accepting
signed complaints have hampered her efforts in assisting clients.
Factors to be considered in establishing the guidelines are:
1, staff's priorities in terms of workload;
2. City's vulnerability in assisting the preparation of
the charge;
3. amount of City funds expended for salaries and resources;
4. Staff's desire and ability to assist the aggrieved in-
dividual; and
5. the availability of a direct watts line to the.State
Civil Rights Commission:
Morgan mentioned using a speed letter to inform the State
Civil Rights Commission of complaints and advising the
complainant to call the State office collect.
SUMMARY OF RELEVANT DISCUSSION
The meeting was called to order at 7:35 P.M.. Gilroy moved,
Madison seconded, to accept the minutes from the July 25, 1977
meeting. The motion passed. Visitor was Jim Flemming (KXIC).
There was no public discussion. The new Commissioner, Susan
Davison, was introduced.

Chairperson's Recommendation
1. There were no comments regarding revising the Commission's
objectives. The Chair noted that he, Woodard, and Zukrowski
would meet to discuss revising the completion dates of the
Commission's objectives and present the revised dates at the
next Commission meeting. Those objectives which are completed
will be noted.
2. Scott noted that the chairperson of each committee is
responsible for recording meeting minutes while the Civil Rights
Specialist is to get the minutes typed. Costantino objected
stating that the Commissioners are volunteers who are already
devoting much time to the Commission. In addition, Costantino
stressed the importance of the Civil Rights Specialist's
attendance at committee meetings to understand the function
of the committee and be aware of each committee's progress.
Morgan noted that the Civil Rights Specialist will schedule
and attend each committee meeting and provide information
essential to the committee's function. Scott again repeated
his desire to have committee chairpersons write the summaries
of their meetings. This is the practice that will be followed.
The "Human Rights Commission - Committee Report Form" was
circulated. The two page form, to he used on a trial basis
by each committee chairperson, records the issues discussed
(page 1) andexplores committee goals (page 2).
It was agreed that the "Committee Report Form" would be
submitted to the Chair at the monthly meeting with an oral
summary presented by the committee chairperson if necessary.
The "Committee Report Form" would be submitted to Zukrowski
prior to the monthly meeting if certain items in the report
needed Commission discussion, support or approval. In those
instances, Zukrowski would xerox the Report for distribution
at the Commission meeting.
3. Iowa Civil Rights Leadership Conference, October 9-12.
Scott recommended that Zukrowski work with Braverman in announcing
that the Commission will be soliciting the public's opinion
in identifying the 5 most serious problems in the area of
civil rights in Iowa City. Ryan stated that a public hearing
was not necessary since Commission meetings are open to the
public. The Commission will identify the 5 most serious
problems in case of no or limited community input.
Braverman indicated his interest in attending. A staff person
will probably also attend.

4. After Commission discussion regarding the three suggested
speakers and seminars which the Commission could sponsor,
Scott referred to the Ordinance Implementation/Education
Committee with a charge to evaluate the three proposed topics,
make a recommendation regarding these topics and suggest alternatives.
Topics suggested:
a. Phyllis Stover. Ms.Stover focuses on insurance practices
and procedures as they affect women. Commissioners wondered
whether the speaker's emphasis is on marketing insurance
policies or underwriting procedures, whether the tonic would
be of interest to the insurance community and whether the
novelty of the speaker's approach would interest community women.
Some of the sections of the new ordinance is applicable to
the insurance industry.
Scott noted that credit and insurance issues have received
limited Commission attention but may be worth exploring.
b. Iowa State Training Seminar. Zukrowski reported speaking
with T. Dolphin who again apologized for the cancelled workshop.
Dolphin indicated his interest in conducting a training seminar
to address the Commissioners' specific needs as identified by
the members. In addition, Dolphin was receptive to Zukrowski's
idea of inviting other community's commissioners to participate.
Dolphin would not be available before mid-November.
C. "Discrimination in Japan". This topic, tentatively scheduled
for January, 1978, will be presented by a University of Iowa
faculty member. The Commission is to decide whether to invite
the speaker to the monthly meeting or schedule a special session.
Costantino stated the suggested topics presented by K. Suzuki
were not directly applicable to the Commission's function.
However, Costantino felt that the Commission could possibly
extrapolate from the Japanese experience and apply what was
learned to our own circumstances. Costantino was skeptical
of the speaker's ability to present this topic. Gilroy stressed
that by understanding how discrimination works in other societies,
the Commission may have a better understanding of discrimination
in the U.S..
C. Committee Reports
1. Complaint Processing. The Committee will present for
adoption at the September Commission meeting documents focusing
on:

Gilroy has been working on incorporating revisions of the
by-laws into the format requested by the City of Iowa City.
Costantino incorporated changes in the conciliation process.
Zukrowski revised the steps used in issuing the investigative
report. Because of past problems,this Committee will clarify
who receives the report and at which steps the investigative
report will be distributed.
2. Ordinance Implementation/Education. Zukrowski mentioned
meeting with Madison, Braverman, and Costantino to discuss
revising the Human Rights Commission's brochure. Marilyn
Levin and Donna Friedman of the Iowa Arts Council will help
to design a logo and brochure. First, they need to know the
printing process and the number of colors to be used.
Zukrowski will check.the regulation regarding submitting this
project for a bid and contact women and minority printing
businesses in addition to Kirkwood Community College.
3. Outreach/Advocacy. Madison reported that although the
Committee met, no definite conclusion was reached on the
printing of a nevisletter. Zukrowski was checking the amount
of funds available for printing and mailing. Zukrowski had
to cancel the Committee's follow-up meeting in order to more
thoroughly prepare.
Commissioners had requested that information about the City
and State Commissions be distributed at the University of
Iowa registration. Zukrowski noted that a flyer was printed
and substituted for the brochures and pamplets requested.
A copy of the flyer was presented. Zukrowski stated that she
will attempt to place the flyers in public places.
4. Affirmative Action. Braverman submitted a written report.
The Committee will be meeting with affirmative action/human
rights groups to discuss the feasibility of developing ongoing
communications between those groups and the Iowa City Human
Rights Commission. Reports will be submitted as the meetings
are held.
Civil Rights Specialist Staff Report
Zukrowski distributed copies of the staff report.
1. A correction was noted in Zukrowski's report. On page 1,
number 3 under Committee Meetings, "Hubbard" was corrected to
read "Woodard".

2. Braverman asked for a clarification of the reason for
referring to the police department a complaint alleging
discrimination. Zukrowski noted that the complainant had
indicated liquor law violations and felt that intervention in
this area could possibly alleviate protected discriminatory
practices.
3. Zukrowski also clarified closing the file on the complaint
against a public accommodation (page 2, number 7 of the staff
report) because the complainant was resistant in providing the
substantive information necessary to investigate. The
Commission recommended referring the case to the area Bar
Association.
4. Zukrowski reviewed the expenditures for the Urban Potential
Workshop and circulted the questionaire distributed to
participants which asked for their reactionto the session. From
the responses received, Zukrowski noted that the majority were
positive.
E. Conplaints
1. Cases in litigation
a. Westinghouse
Commission is waiting for a decision
b. Yellow Cab
Case was dismissed. A hearing was held in district court
on defendant's motion to dismiss and the motion was upheld.
Since the amount of controversy is less than $3,000, the
City must obtain certification or approval from the trial
judge before it may appeal. Appeal will be allowed only when
the trial judge, in his discretion, believes there is a legal
issue which merits the attention of the Supreme Court despite
the small amount in controversy. A hearing regarding certifi-
cation will be held August 25, 1977 at 1:45 P.M.. If the
judge does not certify an appeal, there will be no remedy
for the complainant under the City's ordinance.
2. Dispositions
a. E-7515
Morgan reported to Scott the staff's summation of the strong
and weak points for consideration in determining the feasibility
of pursuing this case to public hearing. The report was
given to the conciliation team. Costantino and Gilroy noted
the following factors detrimental in pursuing E-7515 to public
hearing:
1. Facts w
ereq uestionable
2. Some witnesses were outside the State of Iowa
MINUTES
PAGE 6
3. The case had dragged on a long time
4. The respondent was a small employer and the Community
may feel the respondent was being victimized by the
Commission
5. The Commission may not be able to provide a conducive,
supportive climate to the complainant
On the other hand, Costantino, Madison and Gilroy mentioned
that a public hearing process is an educational process for
the community especially in race discrimination cases.
Furthermore, the central issue is not whether the Commission
wins or looses a case. The secondary purpose of a public
hearing is to demonstrate the Commission's strength.
Gilroy and Costantino decided that both complainant and
respondent be notified that the Commission was unable to
effectuate a conciliation agreement, advise and encourage
the complainant of her rights to pursue further legal remedies
and the Commission's willingness to provide further information
to the complainant. Gilroy is to sign the letter and report
to the Commission.
b: H -7603,H-7604
Discussion concerned Morgan's report to Scott regarding the
staff's summation of the strong and weak points for con-
sideration in determining the feasibility of pursuing this
complaint to public hearing.
The Commissioners recommended that Zukrowski check which
of the witnesses would be available for public hearing and
whether the complainant is still interested in pursuing
the complaint.
c. E-7605
The conciliation agreement was signed by the complainant,
respondent, Chairperson and vice -Chairperson of the Commission.
A request was made for a synopsis of this case. Morgan
indicated the conciliation team could report the general facts
but no specific items. However, if either the complainant
or respondent did not abide by the terms of the agreement,
the Commission could re -open the case. In this situation,
it would be necessary to have uncontaminated Commissioners to
review the case if a public hearing was necessary. The
conciliation team could discuss the particulars of the case
only after the monitoring period had elapsed. Scott stressed
that the Commission would have to trust the conciliation team's
Judgement since under the new ordinance the conciliation team
has the final authority in drafting the terms of the agreement.

ment from a State government agency.

Zukrowski still needs to reconstruct the case. Morgan
requested meeting with the conciliation team to discuss how
much additional staff time should be devoted.
Scott reported that the State Civil Rights Commission had

update of the status of this case. No complaint had been
signed by the Commission.

1. Scott commented that Erdahl's address at the July meeting
could have been briefer. Zukrowski noted that although
Erdahl mentioned an increase in housing discrimination complaints,
the Commission had not experienced a similar pattern.
Zukrowski reiterated Erdahl's explanation that student
organizations may be more active in this area than in the past
and the visibility of the Commission in that .segment of the
community may be limited.
2. Urban Potential Workshop. Costantino and Braverman ex-
pressed their optnions regarding the session. Costantino
remarked that spending $314 substantially depleted the
Commission's training fund. Costantino also questioned whether
the session benefited city participants. Costantino felt that
specific suggestions regarding implementing some changes would
improve the workshop.
Braverman commented that the focus of the workshop was Black/
White relations and not on other minorities. Furthermore,
Braverman thought the seminar leaders were excellent.
Braverman stated that costing an educational process is
difficult, but felt any inroads made on bigotry is worth the
money. Finally, Braverman hoped that any subsequent sessions
would have more Black participants.

Morgan noted that the staff will be meeting with city
participants to discuss applying Urban Potential to
City business. Zukrowski mentioned working with Linda
Schreiber in preparing statistics and a summary of the
questionaire responses to present them at the meeting
with city employees.
3. IAOHRA Training Seminar. Scott circulated the
announcement regarding the seminar and noted the topics
are more applicable to staff than to Commissioners.
4. IAOHRA position paper regarding the reorganization of
the Federal Civil Rights Enforcement Effort. It was noted
that the Iowa City Human Rights Commission is not a member
agency, but that IAOHRA would probably accept the Commission's
remarks.
5. Public Hearing. October 8, 1977, Davenport , Iowa.
Tentative interest in attending was expressed by Costantino,
Ryan and Zukrowski. Costantino stressed the value of
attending such a session and indicated the hearing is highly
influenced by the hearing officer, especially if the in-
dividual is an attorney. A public hearing officer who is
too legalistic stifles the process. Scott indicated this
item be put on the September agenda.
6. Legislature's new benefit package for State Higher
Education Institutions.
Gilroy brought to the Commission's attention that the State
legislature had appropriated 7.4% for salary increases. Out
of that amount, 1.4% was to first be allocated for the health
benefit package for only those employees who are currently
buying the health care. Gilroy felt this would have a
differential impact since more women are probably not buying
their own coverage but carried under a husband's policy.
The Committee on the Status of Women will be investigating the
allocation and impact on women and depending on their finding
may then approach the State legislature.
Braverman will bring this issue to the University's Human
Relations Committee for an informal discussion.
7. In response to a request, a sample short conciliation
agreement was circulated to the Commissioners. Costantino,
a member of the conciliation team which generated the
circulated agreement, objected to the terms of this particular
agreement and the fact that the other two Commissioners on
the team had real estate interests when the case was alleging
discriminatory housing practices. Another Commissioner
was not consulted because a request for afourth-party was
not made, time was of the essence, and the complainant had
expressed a desire for the terms which were ultimately in-
cluded in the agreement.
MINUTES • •
PAGE 9
In response to Costantino's complaint, Scott said it
would be difficult if not impossible to balance the
composition of the conciliation team in light of who
the complainant is. For example, if the complainant
was Black, the conciliation team could not have two
members who were Black or if the complainant was a
woman, the conciliation team could not have two members
who were women.
8. September meeting was set for September 26, 1977 at 7:30
P.M.. The agenda setting is for September 16, 1977 at
1:30 P.M..
