EVALUATIOPl OF TIiE PROPOSED ST. PAUL CIVZL RIQ3TS ORDIJANC� 9/5/67 The propase@ ordn�ce reatin� a Dept. of Ktutan Ri�hts has included �xcellent coverage except that public services, �ahich are covered by the State Act Arainst Discriminatioa, are omitted fror.� coverane. There are some critical quesiions raised, however, by the structu;e, potaers and procedures cahich are enbodied in the proposed ordaance which may seriously criPple the e£fectiveness o£ the ordnance to �ive full an,d adequate protection to complainants of discrir�ination. Soyne of these ga�s a=e as followss 1. The rule of three in the selectiun of the Director a11aQS nolitical control and patrotta�e. 1'he;proceduze should be that the co�fssion refEr the best qualified candidate to the mayor for anpointment. 2. Commissioners can be dismissed without cause and after r�issfn� three meetings are automatically dismissed without opportunity to �ustify �s�ice s. . . . 3. The Director's decisions are absolute. These is no nxovision for the complainant to appeal decisions and/or seCtlem�nts by th� Director. The ordnance does not rrovide for the ca�ission to review the Director's findings of prebable cause or the seCtlements nenotiated bq the Di�ector. 4. T'he "Trial De Novo" p=ocedin�; is still in effect in the proposed ordnance which prohibits th� admission of evidence obtained bq the carmnission during its hearin� into courts o€ law. S. The Corp6ration Coumsel has no time lirnit f.ar takins; action or requirement for repartin� action on cases the Director submits Lo him far criminal p�os- ecution. 6. Public services are not covered by this orduance. 7. There is no er time Iiu�it pZaced on the n�ur,bpr of days which may pass hetiaeen the time the respondent is seroed the complaix�t and date set fvr pnblic hearing. 8. There is no specifie responsibility to continne eases naw pending wfth the Civil and H�nan Ri�hts Commissian. 9. Neither the birector nor the co�ission have in,junctive poc,�ers, Most of these questions or pans have been raised bp individuals in the ��nity before. It is hopefull that these and other d¢£icianciee cvct be corrected by future amaadmetats if this ordn.anec is.•paseed tnday. If the ordnane�:� is • passed in the present form, the Mayor aud city ��il mUSt take full rsepo�aaibil;ty £ar thQ rosulre �+� ct,...,.� �¢p� � .�,.p�c�.£ic provisions. - SIGNED: _ � � CLERGY STATEMENT ON SAINT PAUL HUMAN RIGHTS ORDINANCE DELIVIItID BEFORE THE SAINT PAUL CITY COUNCIL, AUGUST 23, 1967 As concerned clergymen in the City of Saint Paul and representing only ourselvea, we would like to respectfully urge the Saint Paul City Council to quickly pass the new Ordinance on Htmian Rights. We feel that this matter is long overdue and, at the same time, we sincerely applaud the fact that the City of Saint Paul has assumed a stance of advanced thinking in these matters when compared to other cities. While we recognize that there are legitimate diEferences on preciaely how the law should be technically interpretted and administered, yet we feel that the over-all concern to prohibit diacrimination in every aspect of living and to encourage equality in all human endeavors should be clearly and emphatically atated. This Human Rights Ordinance should not only be carefully enforced but also uaed as a teach- ing measure to encourage our whole communitq to be full hearted in practicing equal righCS. We hope that the City of Saint Paul will immediately continue to go beyond the letter of this law. It is the sight of derelict buildings, derelict neighborhoods and derelict men that demand that we as religious leaders expzess our concern and assume our responsibility, to work for the well being of our community. We respectful3.y and atronglq urge that our city � make available to all of our citizens equal opportunity for employment, decent houaing, sound education and good recreational facilities. We deplore the apathy and indifference to fihe plight of minority groups, the underpriviledged and the impoverished. We wish to make it clear that the remedy and responsibility for these situations is the joint responsibility of governmenC, businesa, labor, re�.igious inatitutions, civic groups and private citizene. We call upon the entire community to unite and use its total resources toward helping to create a more.beautiful Saint Paul. We look foYward to the near future when Saint Paul can become the model city not only in beauty but also be a leader in urban renewal and equal ppportunity. To this end we pledge our toCal efforts.

SUbtMERS � Corporation Co►u�sel � August 16, 1967 � To tlie Honorable Tlayor, Compl;roller, and Members of the Ci�i;y Council Gentlemen: • At your request I have prepared an annotated copy of the proposed hun�an rights ordinance , �ahicli is attached. The notations in the left-hand margin indicai;e all changes �rom present law, You may assume th�,i; if there is no notation to the lefi; of any paragraph, it is substantially identical wii;h what z�Te not,r have . The notations in the right-hand margin indic�.te the source of each paragraph. Since the language of our present ordinance has been modi�ied slightly in almosi; every part of the new proposal , the notation "P.L. " may be taken to mean "Presen.t Lazv ��rithout major changes . " The not�,tion "C. C. " indicates that a major change in wording introduced by the office of the Corporation Counsel either to achieve greater clarity or broaden coverage . The notation "Model State Act" � refers to the o:£�icial model laiv prepared by the Conference " of Commissioners on Uniform State Laz,rs , and the notation � "Miruzesota State Law" refers of course to our o�,�n State Act Against Discrimination. The Mayor statement appended to the ordin.ance when it was originally presented to Council details specifically every change in cove�age and effect from the present ordinance , and. should be used as a supplement to these annotations . .I. have used this ' sysi;em o.f mar�inal notes in pre�erence to more exte�.sive comments because it keeps the bulk of mai;erial dozvn to a minimum. - Sincerely, � J se P.
