GENERAL
OCRC ACADEMY. The first OCRC Academy is scheduled to be held on November 30 and December
1. It will be held at the auditorium at ODOT. We have applied for education credits for lawyers and other
professional disciplines. It will be held in-person and virtually. We have representatives from the Indiana
Civil Rights Commission coming to visit and observe the Academy. We may also have representatives
from the Kentucky Commission on Civil Rights coming as well, but they have not confirmed.

COLLABORATIONS.
Met with the Executive Director of the Maryland Commission for Civil Rights and members of his
executive team. We had a lengthy discussion about best practices. While we covered many topics, they
shared processes that they implemented to assist the staff in handling their increasing inventory. I am
evaluating these processes to see if we can adopt something similar to assist our staff in handling our
volume of cases.
Met with the Executive Director of the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights. We discussed best
practices as well. Kentucky expressed an interest in visiting OCRC if not for OCRC Academy, then
another time where we can host them and have a workday meeting.
We are currently meeting with staff from Indiana and Kentucky commissions regarding case management
systems. It appears that many commissions are assessing their needs for a case management system, and
they are looking to OCRC for assistance and guidance since we are so far along in the process.
MEETING. Met with the Ohio Fair Housing Agencies to discuss several topics regarding the Ohio Civil
Rights Commission. The conversation was informative, and we are scheduling a follow-up meeting to
engage in further discussion.
FACAILITIES MANAGEMENT.
Akron is moving from the 2
nd
floor to the 4
th
floor. Akron will commence the move officially around the
16
th
of December. Once the move commences, Akron staff will telework until approximately January 2,
2023. These dates are tentative and subject to change. This move was necessitated because of the city of
Akron acquiring the building.
Toledo is now preparing for construction for intake rooms to better secure the staff. The documents to
affect this work are being reviewed. This work is being done with the consent and through the assistance
of the Department of Administrative Services, General Services Division, Office of Real Estate and
Planning.
Extra security measures have been implemented in regions throughout the agency, which includes card
readers, intake rooms, and bullet resistant windows.
COMBINED CHARITABLE CAMPAIGN. The Civil Rights Commission did not meet its goal, but the
staff was still extremely charitable, and for that we are truly thankful. This has been a very tough year for
many economically speaking and this was demonstrated by the donations statewide, which fell short of
the projected goals. Our donations totaled a respectable sum of $4,103.85. For those who were able to
give- a heartfelt thank you. I also want to thank our Combined Charitable Coordinator, Aman Mehra.
FINANCE
FINANCE SUMMARY. The 2022 Finance Summary for October was included with the Director’s
report.

KUDOS KORNER
RONNELL TOMLINSON. On October 21, 2022, I received an email from an attorney, who was
extremely impressed by the professional manner in which Ronnell, not only conducted the
reconsideration process, but how he presented the information to the Commission. In this email, the
attorney stated, in part, as follows:
*** my client requested reconsideration and had to go through the substantial expenses involved in seeking a
reversal of those determinations. Its requests for reconsideration were granted and Ronnell Tomlinson began
investigating the matter. Mr. Tomlinson was professional, diligent, thorough, and respectful during his
investigations. He interviewed witnesses *** Yesterday, I attended the reconsideration hearings at the University
of Akron Law School in the matters involving my client. I watched Mr. Tomlinson accurately and completely
describe the history of each matter to the Commission and answer every question the Commission members asked
him. He was able to explain the complex matters concisely and clearly. I came away even more impressed with
Mr. Tomlinson.
