Consideration and Adoption of Ordinance No. 2023-05: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Flagstaff, amending Flagstaff City Code, Title 14 Human Relations, Chapter 14-02 Civil Rights, Section 14-02-001-0006 Complaint Procedures, to allow a verified charge to be filed within one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days after the alleged violation occurred; providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances, severability, authority for clerical corrections, and establishing an effective date. |

Management Analyst Chris Rhode addressed Council stating that the ordinance would amend the statute of limitations for civil rights complaints from 90 days to 180 days to be in line with state and federal rules and processes. Complaints are often very emotionally charged, and it is sometimes difficult to get to a point where a complainant would like to report an incident. |

Moved by Councilmember Lori Matthews, seconded by Councilmember Miranda Sweet to read Ordinance No. 2023-05 by title only for the first time.
