commissions can serve as points of contact for their constituencies,
but there should be a formalized process to coordinate complaints across commissions to ensure they are handled
adequately. This process could establish the AHRC as the body that formally handles all complaints or at least
delegates responsibility for managing complaints to the Town staff liaison. Beyond hearing complaints of civil
rights violations, no commission has a proactive agenda to promote fair housing access at the moment. A fair
housing agenda could be brought back to the boards and commissions in multiple ways, including a reconstituted
Fair Housing Advisory Committee, a fair housing coordination effort between commissions, or a fair housing
subcommittee established in each relevant commission.
