Sec. 1603.5  Council purpose and duties.



    (a) The purpose of the council shall be to notify the Corporation of 

any apparent violation as defined in Sec. 1603.2(b) of this chapter.

    (b) In fulfilling the purpose set forth in paragraph (a) of this 

section, the council shall forward any apparent violation to the 

Corporation. The Chairperson of the council shall inform the 

complainant, the Corporation and the recipient of any action taken on 

the complaint. Notification of an apparent violation forwarded by the 

council to the Corporation shall not necessarily constitute a position 

of the council concerning the apparent violation.

    (c) These procedures are not exclusive. Complaints may be submitted 

to the Corporation, and complaints submitted to a council may be 

submitted to the Corporation without regard to council action. The 

Corporation shall inform the complainant, the council and the recipient 

of all action taken on the complaint.
