To the extent not covered by any adopted the rules of the commission, Robert's Rules of Order shall govern the conduct of its meeting. A quorum shall consist of six members of the commission.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 17-6 of Peoria's Chapter 17 establishes the procedural framework for how the Human Relations Commission conducts its meetings. Where the commission's own adopted rules do not address a situation, Robert's Rules of Order serve as the default parliamentary authority. Additionally, the provision sets a quorum at six commission members, meaning that number must be present for the body to conduct official business.

For Property Managers

Under § 17-6 of Peoria's Chapter 17, the Human Relations Commission — which oversees human relations matters including housing — operates under defined procedural rules. Property owners and managers who appear before or submit matters to the commission can generally expect meetings to follow Robert's Rules of Order when the commission's own rules are silent, and that official action requires at least six members present. Understanding this structure can help operators anticipate how commission proceedings are organized.

For Tenants

Section 17-6 of Peoria's Chapter 17 governs how the Human Relations Commission runs its meetings, which may be relevant to tenants who bring housing-related complaints before the body. The quorum requirement of six members means that official decisions cannot be made without sufficient membership present, providing a baseline of procedural legitimacy. Tenants who interact with the commission may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization to better understand how these procedural rules could affect the handling of a complaint.
