§ 11.20.120. Hearing—Issuance of citations and warrants.

A.

In the event the respondent fails to make available to the metropolitan human relations commission or its staff or to the review panel, records, documents or testimony relevant to the complaint, and/or in the event the review panel and the metropolitan human relations commission cannot eliminate the alleged, unlawful practice by conference, conciliation and persuasion, the commission shall cause to be issued a citation requiring the defendant to appear in the metropolitan court on a date set for a hearing.

B.

The citation will be sent by certified mail to the principal place of business of the employer alleged to be violating any provision of this chapter, and such notice will be sufficient for the purposes hereof. The form of citation, with sufficient copies, shall be approved by the metropolitan legal department, and shall contain a warrant on one side of the citation form. If the defendant fails to appear on the date as cited, the metropolitan judge may sign and issue a warrant to be served upon the defendant, requiring him to appear before the judge of the metropolitan court for a hearing upon the warrant and for disposition thereof.
