BACKGROUND:
On September 16, 1986, . the Board received a report from the
County Administrator' s Office on the status of negotiations with
ROAR on an anti-apartheid policy. Those negotiations are making
progress and we hope to have a mutually acceptable ,policy to
report to the Board in the near future.
One of the recommendations made earlier . to the Board by the
Internal Operations Committee, but not yet formally approved by
the Board, was for the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Board to meet
with executives of the major firms that are doing business in
South Africa which are also doing business with Contra Costa
County in an effort to explore actions which can be taken by the
firms to improve conditions in South Africa. In addition, it is
important that the Board understand fully the impact on the
County of any policy positions the Board may wish to adopt
relative to apartheid.
