Under the ordinance, an employer would not be allowed to refuse to hire or fire a person for their sexual orientation or gender identity, or to deny an employee advancement or training on that same basis. It would also prevent businesses from refusing to serve a person based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>On the housing side, refusal to sell, buy or rent property or to repair, maintain or improve it would also be prohibited if it were the result of such discrimination, Fife said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>Exceptions include religious entities, other governments and agencies, boarding houses, private clubs or institutions and two-family dwellings, such as duplexes, where the property owner or a relative lives in one of the units.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>Krauss was curious about whether businesses, such as restaurants, which often display signs indicating their right to refuse service to anyone, could refuse to serve someone based on their sexual orientation or gender identity without disclosing that as the reason. Fife said if someone felt that was the reason for denial of service, they could file a complaint under the ordinance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>"I hate any kind of bullying whatsoever, and discrimination is a form of bullying, in my mind," Krauss said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>Krauss said he didn't like the idea of the city being forced to react to a continuous list of discriminatory grievances.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>"The question is, where does it stop?" Krauss said. "Why doesn't the 14th Amendment cover the whole darn thing?"<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>The amendment says "No State shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>Fife said he prepared the draft after reviewing laws already on the books in Sandpoint, Boise and Salt Lake City and said he favored Boise's. The proposed ordinance would fill a gap in the federal and state human rights acts.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>Anyone believing themselves to be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation or gender identity would file a report with the Moscow Police Department, Fife said, which would conduct an investigation and file a report with the city prosecutor to validate whether the claim constitutes an offense under the ordinance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>If so, mediation would be attempted between the two parties by the city attorney with the offender facing a misdemeanor if a resolution can't be met. If the defendant takes remediation steps, the penalty could be reduced to an infraction. Should both parties settle, the charge would be dismissed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>"You want compliance, not punishment. That's the goal," Fife said, adding the criminal process might do better in a separate council resolution.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>Fife said pushes on the municipal level could force the issue in the Idaho Legislature, which has historically never passed an amendment to its human rights act covering sexual orientation and gender identity out of committee.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>"That's not going to happen, so we'll continue to legislate morality," Krauss said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>The draft ordinance will be reviewed by the city's Fair and Affordable Housing and Human Rights commissions before returning to the Administrative Committee to forward the draft to the full council.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><strong><span lang=EN>More Well No. 9 problems</span></strong><span lang=EN><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>Public Works Director Les MacDonald reported the recently reinstalled Well No. 9 pump and motor have to be removed again after testing Friday knocked out power to the well house. Once power was restored, a ground fault was detected, which means something is short-circuiting the electricity being channeled through the pump and motor, he said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>"It means we're in a different situation than before," MacDonald said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>The pump was shut down in June when it stopped functioning and the motor was sent to be repaired by Alstra Technologies in Tempe, Ariz. It was reinstalled in late September, but was shut down again when the electric current became too high and caused the protection unit to shut it down. The motor was returned to Alstra and the pump was analyzed by a Spokane company before both were tested by another manufacturer in Arizona.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span lang=EN>The pump and motor were reinstalled in two weeks ago, but further testing in Moscow showed the electric current was still too high and a "whale song" noise occurred when it was reconnected to the system, MacDonald said. Following Friday's outage, he said removal of the pump and motor by crane began Monday and should be completed today. He added an outside consultant may need to be brought in to determine the city's next move. Well No. 9 can produce up to 40 percent of the city's water.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-left:.5in;text-align:center;line-height:18.0pt'><span lang=EN style='font-size:13.0pt;color:black'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p style='margin-left:.5in'><strong><span lang=EN>Brandon Macz</span></strong><span lang=EN> can be reached at (208) 882-5561, ext. 238, or by email to <a href="mailto:bmacz@dnews.com">bmacz@dnews.com</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>And, here’s the letter to the editor Roger also referred to:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;line-height:20.25pt;background:white'><b><span lang=EN style='font-size:18.0pt;color:black'>Basic human rights<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:7.5pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:18.0pt;background:white'><b><span lang=EN style='font-size:13.0pt;color:black'>Posted: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 12:00 am </span></b><span lang=EN style='font-size:13.0pt;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:7.5pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:18.0pt;background:white'><span lang=EN style='font-size:13.0pt;color:black'>Moscow City Councilor Wayne Krauss has implied that refusing service to monkey owners in a business setting is the same as denying fair housing and job rights to residents based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:7.5pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:18.0pt;background:white'><span lang=EN style='font-size:13.0pt;color:black'>As reported by Brandon Macz in "Antidiscrimination ordinance vetted," (<i>Daily News</i>, Feb. 26): "Krauss asked rhetorically whether someone bringing monkeys into a business and being refused service would require a discrimination ordinance for monkey owners."<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;line-height:18.0pt'><span lang=EN style='font-size:13.0pt;color:black'>You must be logged in with the proper services to print this article. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:7.5pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:18.0pt;background:white'><span lang=EN style='font-size:13.0pt;color:black'>Think about what he is really saying.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:7.5pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:18.0pt;background:white'><span lang=EN style='font-size:13.0pt;color:black'>Also, according to Macz, Krauss questions "legislating morality."
