questions they want to add to the agenda for the upcoming meeting.

Complaints: J. Garber reported the commission received two new

complaints since the last meeting. Currently there are five complaints

under review.

Human Rights Commission handbook is available and accessible for all

commissioners. The handbook has been stored in the commission’s

resource drive and will be kept up-to-date. L. Winkler asked

commissioners to share their feedback and input about the new

handbook. The commission discussed ways to improve the handbook for
