A. The complaints program shall, in addition to the responsibilities specified by Section 2-3-101 of this title, refer, upon written request, all complaints in which one of the complainants remains unsatisfied with the Department's resolution of said complaint to an outside source trained in mediation. Complainants and persons named in the complaint shall be made aware that participation in the mediation process conducted by the outside source is completely voluntary and confidential. Fulfillment of any agreements reached in mediation shall be up to the parties of the dispute. Participation in the mediation process shall not hinder or interfere with any enforcement action taken by the Department. Mediation may run parallel to any enforcement action. Participation by a complainant in the mediation process shall not preclude such complainants from seeking other relief provided by law.
B. The complaints program shall maintain a roster of certified mediators which will be available to the public.
C. The complaints program shall document the outcome of mediations to determine compliance with mediated agreements and for documentation of program success.
