it is with regret that I submit my resignation from the
Contra Costa-County Human Relations Commission. I was
appointed on 12/13/94 and have attended every meeting
of the Commission since that time .
My impression of the members of this Commission is
they are very dedicated and have strongly supported the
Commission to achieve its goals .
From the onset of my membership I knew no funds were
allocated to the Commission and it was dependent on
volunteers to staff and manage the Commission. Most, if
not all , of the members are working people and it takes
time and resources to run any organization. The
Commission can not function properly without staff and
some physical assistance .
The Brown Act and the additional requirements you have
placed on government bodies need staff to keep up with
the onslaught of paper filing that is required to be
kept . I find it extremely difficult if not impossible
for this to be done by only volunteers . If this
Commission is to perform its function properly you need'
to support it and not pay lip service to the citizens
of this County.
The current elected Chair, Mr . Timothy Dayonot, has
indicated that he will try to obtain staff volunteers
to assist the Commission with its staff work and other
necessary chores . I have no doubt he will be successful
l
but the fact remains that you as the elected
representatives of the people of Contra Costa need to
provide the necessary assistance for the Commission to
function properly.
I am extremely grateful for your confidence in placing
me on the Commission and hope I can be of some help in
the future on issues which impact the citizens of this
community in this relevant area .
I would like to repeat my prior remarks as to the
dedication of the members of the Commission and thank
them for supporting my views on the various subject
. matters that were discussed. If I can be of any
assistance to the Commission in the future you can call
on me .
Sincerely , \
Trevor Evans- oY ung;:, Sr .
