Plain English

Glasford Ch. 16 § 16-26 establishes what happens after the Human Relations Commission concludes its hearing process under § 16-25. The commission may recommend to the village board of trustees that a violator be ordered to stop the offending conduct, that the village attorney seek court-ordered relief, or that government contracts held by a violator be terminated or conditioned on compliance. The village board of trustees then decides whether to act on those recommendations by issuing cease-and-desist orders or directing the village attorney to pursue legal or administrative remedies.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers operating in Glasford should be aware that under § 16-26, a finding of violation following a commission hearing can result in the village board of trustees issuing a formal cease-and-desist order against them. Compliant operators generally maintain practices that conform to all ordinances within the commission's jurisdiction so that proceedings under this section are not initiated. Those who hold government contracts face an additional exposure: § 16-26(b)(2) allows the commission to recommend steps that could lead to contract termination if a violation is found.

For Tenants

Under § 16-26, tenants who have participated in or been affected by a commission hearing under § 16-25 should know that the process can result in meaningful remedies, including orders directing a landlord to stop a violating practice and potential court action sought by the village attorney. The village board of trustees holds the authority to act on the commission's recommendations, making that body a key point of accountability in Glasford's enforcement structure. Tenants seeking to understand how this process applies to their situation may wish to contact the Glasford village offices directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
