REGNIER To the Honorable Council of the City of Saint Paul : Re : Review of Saint Paul Human Rights Ordinance ftelative to Discrimination in I�ousing on the Basis of Age On October 24, 19�5, the Saint Paul City Cauneil re- quested that the City Attorney' s office revie�a the Saint Paul Human Rights Ordinance in light of the information contained in an editorial in the Saint Paul Pioneer Press on October 24, 1�75 . Following the City Council meeting , I obtained the file from the Iiuman Rights Department involving the complaint filed against the Saint Paul Pioneer Press . The pertinent po�tions of that file �rovide the follo�4ing inf ormat i on. On September 3, 1975 , an advertisement appeared in the Classified Sec�;ioii of the Saint Paul Pioneer Press as follows : "LAUREL 18XX - Lovely 5 rm, 2 BR apt in colonial 4 pl.ex. Very clean, quiet & secure bldg. Older couple pref. CLAPP-THOriSSEN C0. 222-7311" In answer to this ad, a 24-year-old female contacted the realtor involved and the realtor allegedly ad- vised this 24-year-old female that she would not qualify for this apartmeni;, since the landlord wanted only an older couple , since younger people create noise and disturbance . On September 18 , 1975, the 24-year-old female filed a complaint with the Saint Paul Human Rights Department , al- le ging a violation of the Human Rights Ordinance by the landlord, the realtor and the Saint Paul Pioneer Press-Dispatch. On September 30, 1975 , a letter was sent to the President of the Saint Paul Pioneer Press and Dispateh by the Assistant Director of _ the Human Rights Department , advising him that � City Hali, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 612 298-5121 . . . . _ �_ _ .r.-._„F.,.. City Council Page Two October 27 , 1975 the Human Rights Depa.rtment was beginning a preliminary investigation of the matter and outlining the basic elements of the complaint. Enclosed with that letter was a copy of .the Saint Paul Human Rights Ordinance . On Oc�Lober 20 , 1975, a meeting was held between the advertising director of the Saint Paul Dispatch-Pioneer Press and an investigator for the Department of Human Rights relative to this complaint. Subsequent to that meeting , a letter dated October 21, 1975 was sent to the Department of I�uman Rights from the advertising director, a copy of which letter .is attached hereto for your information. I have discussed this matter as involves i;he complaint against i;he Dispatch-Pioneer Press with the Director of the Department of Human Rights , and he tias indicated to me that it is his understanding that with the new memo being supplied to all personiiel in the Dispatch- Pioneer Press involving housing discrimination, the Human Rights Department considers this particular matter closed as applies to the Dispatch-Pioneer Press . The portions of the Saint Paul Human Rights Ordinance which pertain to this matter provide as follows : 1. Section 74. 02B, which pertains to the definition of age , provides : "Prohibitions of discriminatory praetices with regard to age shall be limited to persons who have passed the age of majority. With respect to discriminatory practices in em- ployment only, prohibitions of discriminatory practices with regard to age shall be limited to persons wh o have passed the age of majority but have not attained the age of 65 years . " 2. Section 74.02D defines "discriminate'� or "discri- mination'� as follows : '�-� � � Al1 unequal treatment of any person by reason of race, creed, religion, color, sex, national origin or ancestry, affectional or sexual preference , age or disability; provided that the imposition of a religious test as a bona fide condition of employment by religious City Council Page Three � October 27 , 1975 organizations shall not constitute discrimination. " 3. Sec�ion 74. 02I defines "housing" to include : "� � � Any improved or unimproved real estate � which is used, capable of being used, or intended to be used as a permanent or temporary residence or sleeping place for one or more persons , whether by sale , lease , or otherwise . It specifically includes lots suitable for single or multi-family residential development. " 4. Section 74. 02K defines "person" to include "� � � individuals , partnerships , associations, organizations , corporations , legal represen�;atives , trustees , receivers , political subdivisions, boards , commissions , and their ofricers and agents . " 5. Seetion 74. 05A provides that it shall be unlawful � "�or any person to discriminate on grounds o� race, creed, religion, color, se�, national origin or ancestry, affectional or sexual preference , age or disability in the sale , lease or rental of any housing unit or units . " (This particular section would apply i;o the landlord. ) 6. Section 74. 05B provides that it shall be unlawful "for any broker, agent, salesman or other person acting in behalf of another to so discriminate in the sale , lease , or rental of any housinb unit or units belonging to such other person. " (This sec- tion would app�y to the :realtor. ) 7. Section 7��. 05E makes it unlawful "for any persou to make or publish any statement evidencing an intent to discriminate , on grounds of race , creed, religion, color, sex, national origin or ancestry , affectional or se�ual preference, age or disability in the sale , lease or rental of a housing unit or units . " (This section would be applicable to a newspaper. ) It is our opinion that there is reasonable grounds to. believe that a violation the above sections of the Human Rights Ordinance has occurred with the actions taken by the landlord, realtor and newspaper in the City Council Page Four October 27 , 1975 above described matter. There are no provisions con- tained in the Saint Paul fIuman Rights Ordinance which would exempt this particular landlord, realtor or news- paper from the prohibition sections of the ordinance pertaining to housing and discrimination with regard to age . Contrary to the statement contained in the editorial of the Saint Paul Pioneer Press dated Friday, October 24, 1975 , that the Human Rights Ordinance was never contemplated to cover this situation, the specific wording of the Sain� Paul Human Rights Ordinance does prohibit the conduct which took place in this particular case . While it is very difficult to drafi; exceptions within the Human Rights Ordinance which will withstand a challenge as being unequal in treatment of persons , I will work with the City Council in drafting any amend- ments requested. In contempla�Ling and proposing any amendments , the City Council should be aware of Section 74. 01 of the Human Righl;s Ordinance, which is the decla- ration of policy, wherein the council has found that discrimination in housing based on age affects the health, welfare peace and safety of the community, • and that Persons subject to such discrimina�t;ion suffer depressed living conditions , poverty and lack of hope , injuring the public welfare and placing a burden upon the public treasury to ameliorate the conditions th us produced in-.creating conditions which endanger the public peace and order. It is this policy which is at the heart of any philosophical and academic dis- cussion regarding any human rights law. Yours truly, �� , PIERRE N.

OF HUt�;A�v Kli�HTS Affirmative Action Investigator DeparL�rn�1t of Hu�i Rights - City of St. Paul 515 City Hall St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 Dear Mrs. De Leon: This letter is in reference to our meeting yesterday morning relative to the ccmplaint filed by Ms. Debra Fl�nirzg alleging our violation of chapter 74 in the St. Paul legislative code. First of all, let me again thank.you for taking time to ccxne to aur office to discuss this matter on a person-to-pesson basis. I readily concur with you that it m-�kes for a much better underst.�nding on everybody's part. Secondly, let me again reiterate that it is -- and alFrays has been -- . the intent of these n�rspapers to fully co-opexate with gwerrnnental bodies. As- I pointed out yesterday, I think the slip-up with respect to this �rticular advertis�lt occurred as a result of a ca�arnanication we received from the U. S. Depart-�nt of Justice in late June of this year asking us, along with many other newspapers �n the countxy, to review our classified columns and policies as they relate to the Federal Fair Housing Act of 1968. As a result of this caYaiuuzication our classified manager issued a staff m�norandum on July 11 again calli.ng theix atte.ntion to the fedexal statute and the types of statanP�ts that are prol-Libited by law. Unfortunately, when this menorandtun was put together, we did not realize that the federal statute did not include several of the itans that are covered in the St. Paul ordinance. Arui as yau and I discussed yesterday, we now find that there are a couple of�itens in the state statutes which are not included in either the city code or the federal statute. As a result of your discussion with me, a meeting was held with aur classified sales staff this nr�rning, at which time we reviewed the entise situation. The attached staff m�io has been supplied to all pexsonnel involved with the handling of real estate copy. Yau will note that the last twn paragraphs of this mgno indicate that we are also going to change the rlotice which appears at the head of the real estate classification effective with t.cmorraw morning's newspapex. The basic charige involved is the addition of the reference to the state and city laws. ) ) - , _ , . . d . Mrs. Dulce A. De Leon Page 2 Again, we appreciate yaur calling this matter to our attention and your understanding of the logistics irivolved in terms of fhe nwnbe.r of ads that are processed, and the n�nb�s ar�d turn-over of people who are involved. Yau may rest assured that we will do evezything humanly possible to prevent a further recurrence. Sincere � R. . Nlcansen, Advertising' Director Attach.

LEVINE October 24, 1975 The editorial in this morning's Pioneer Press points out what appears to be a flaw in our human rights ordinance. The issue appears to be the right of privacy versus our effort to provide equal protection in rental properties. It looks like this case goes beyond our intent when the age amendment was made last year. I feel that this matter should be reviewed by our legal staff. • LEONARD W.
