The Economic and Community Development Committee met this evening to discuss establishing a commission that deals with discrimination. The 18 person Human Services Commission would be made up of 65 percent of Lima residents but also be comprised of others from the county. Of those 18 seats, one would be from Lima Central Catholic, and one would be from Lima Senior High. The other 16 seats would be from social services, safety services, business owners, residents, and faith groups. The objective of the commission is to alleviate discrimination of all kinds in the city.
