Property owners and managers operating in Pana should be aware that under § 11-29, any handicapped discrimination complaint filed against them triggers a formal written determination process administered by the director of the office of planning and development. Compliant operators generally maintain clear records of their practices and communications so they can respond promptly if the director's office reaches out during the ten-day review window. Understanding that a written determination and any described resolution will be issued quickly helps operators stay prepared for the process.
