City manager needs to be clear on rights position

Maybe I'm missing something.

How can city management make the claim that the proposed Human Resources person will take over the duties of the existing Human Rights director?

My understanding of a Human Resources position is to manage personnel employed by the city and to screen potential employees. I have never heard of a Human Resources person focusing on community-wide issues such as unfair housing practices, discrimination against persons of color and diversity education. I can only think that Mr. Palesh had no idea of what the Human Rights office does when he made that proposal. Can it be that he still doesn't understand the distinction?
