[Adopted 5-21-2001 by Ord. No. 2001-01 as Title 15, Ch. 5 of the 2001 Code]
The right of a person to a prompt and equitable
resolution of the complaint filed hereunder shall not be impaired
by the person's pursuit of other state or federal remedies. Utilization
of this grievance procedure is not a prerequisite to the pursuit of
other remedies. However, the City believes that resolution of the
complaint will be more promptly achieved if the City is able to provide
a remedy before the complaint is brought to an external organization.
This article shall be construed to protect the
substantive rights of interested persons and to meet appropriate due
process standards.
