Van Marter AU Gi 13 1990 FROM: Kate QuisenberrOffice of Chair y ' County Administrator SUBJECT: RECOMMEND FOR APPOINTMENT TO CURRENT VACANCIES ON THE HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION The Contra Costa County Human Relations Committee has two vacancies, one in West County and one in East County. Current West County representation includes Hispanic/Afro-American, Caucasian but no South East Asian representation despite a sizable South East Asian population. Current East County representation includes Caucasian and Hispanic females, Physically Disabled and one Hispanic male. Despite a sizable Afro-American population in East County, the Commission currently has no Afro-American East County representation. The Commission received a total of thirteen applications, but due to time restraints interviewed only those applicants who live in East and Nest County. I will be contacting all applicants not interviewed to explain the Commission's various programs, including the Hate Violence Reduction Project, to see whether they would like to receive our monthly agenda, and to invite their participation as volunteers. The following were applicants interviewed: 1. Thomas Cordi Point Richmond Teacher 2. Chaosarn S. Chao Richmond Executive Director and Manager 3. Alan Shore El Sobrante Business Consultant 4. Beverly Frazier Pittsburg Teacher (previously interviewed) 5. Maggie Dee Dowling Pittsburg Self Employed Freelance Writer Page 2 New Applicants who were not interviewed were: 1. Greg Aquilizan Concord Secretary 2. Daniel Carothers Contra Costa Techinal Analyst 3. John Hadden Martinez Department of Employment 4. Allan Moore Martinez Attorney 5. Helen Sanchez Antioch Retail 6. Nancy Southern Contra Costa Management Consultant 7. Michael Tapie Fairfield Personnel Accountant 8. Olga Tarshis Concord Teacher The Contra Costa County Human Relations Commission recommends the appointment of Chaosarn .Chao, Richmond in the belief that South East Asian Representation on the Commission is necessary in order to address tensions in West County. The Commission believes that Mr. Chao's exposure to the multicultural mixture on the Commission will also be beneficial to both Air. Chao and the Commission. We also recommend the appointment of Ms. Beverly Frazier, East County. We believe that her involvement in the Black Families Association of Antioch, her interest in the Black experience and multicultural education will be beneficial to the Commission, to its interest in impowering minorities, and to its involvement in the Hate Violence Reduction Project. We request 'that the Board of Supervisors accept our recommendation that Chaosaran Chao and Beverly Frazier be appointed to our Commission.
