SUBJECT: ADDITION OF NEW CATEGORY UNDER THE COUNTY OUTREACH PROGRAM
FOR VETERANS BUSINESS ENTERPRISES
SPECIFIC REQUEST($)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. ADD a new category under the County's Outreach Program to promote outreach to
Veterans Business Enterprises regarding business opportunities with the County.
2. DIRECT the County Administrator to update the County's Outreach Program policy
and procedure documents, forms, and reports to reflect the additional category, and
to advise operating departments of the new category.
BACKGROUND:
The Advisory Council on Equal Employment Opportunity recently recommended that the
County add a new ca category under the County's Outreach Program to promote outreach to
Veterans Business Enterprises (VBEs) regarding business opportunities with the County.
Current outreach categories are: Small Business Enterprise, Local Business Enterprise,
Minority Business Enterprise, Woman Business Enterprise, and Other Business Enterprise
(OBE).
As VBEs are essentially a subset to OBEs to which outreach efforts are already made, we
have no objection to adding a special category for MBEs to further define or broaden the pool
of potential vendors providing County goads and services. County Counsel has advised that
there is nothing legally impermissible about doing so.
