Aurora — Art. 22-II Housing Discrimination § 22-18
Designation Of Chairman
Operative Text
The mayor shall annually designate a chairman from among the membership of the human relations commission. A chairman may not serve more than two (2) consecutive terms as chair. The human relations commission shall designate a vice chairman at its first meeting, and from time to time thereafter, from among its members. (Ord. No. O12-043, § 1, 6-12-12)
Aurora's housing discrimination ordinance, under § 22-18, establishes a leadership structure for the Human Relations Commission. The mayor appoints one commission member as chairman each year, and no individual may hold that chair position for more than two consecutive terms. Separately, the commission itself selects a vice chairman from within its own membership, beginning at its first meeting and revisiting that designation periodically.
Plain English — not legal advice.
For property owners and managers operating in Aurora, § 22-18 is relevant background because it defines who leads the Human Relations Commission, the body that oversees housing discrimination matters. A compliant operator generally stays informed about the commission's current leadership and any procedural notices it issues, since the chairman plays a role in guiding commission proceedings. Understanding the commission's structure can help operators navigate any formal processes that arise under Art. 22-II.
