This resolution approves an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Bloomington and Monroe County pursuant to state law to establish and fund a joint Bloomington/Monroe County Human Rights Commission. The agreement provides that the City of Bloomington shall be responsible for staffing the Commission, which together with staff shall engage in human rights education and awareness activities and enforce both City and County human rights ordinances; in exchange, the County shall make semi-annual payments to the City Controller to share the costs of these activities. Once approved, together with corresponding changes to the city and county human rights ordinances, a seven-member joint Bloomington/Monroe County Human Rights Commission will be made up of three Mayoral appointments, two Common Council appointments, and two appointments by the Monroe County Commissioners.
