SPECIFIC REQUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATION(,S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the
County a contract with the Human Rights Resource Center in the
amount of $15, 000 for the period February 25, 1987 to August 15,
1987 to provide specified consultation and staff support to the
Contra Costa County Human Relations Commission.
BACKGROUND:
In establishing the Human Relations Commission in 1986, the Board
appropriated $25, 000 to assist the Commission in getting
established. Of that amount, $5,000 was spent for a contract
with the Human Rights Resource Center to prepare a grant
application to the San Francisco Foundation and provide initial
orientation and staff support to the Commission. Mr. Fred
Persily, on behalf of the Human Rights Resource Center, has
completed the terms of his initial contract with the County. .
The Human Relations Commission has organized itself into several
subcommittees in order to develop its workplan in such areas as
education, employment, health and welfare, housing and criminal
justice. Each of these subcommittees has outlined an extensive
plan for developing portions of what will become the Commission'.s
workplan.
The current staff services to the Commission cannot be extended
to provide the nearly full-time support needed to attend each
subcommittee' s meeting and prepare documents for the
subcommittee' s review. The Human Relations Commission at its
meeting on February 11, 1987, therefore, voted to ask the Board
of Supervisors to approve an additional contract with the Human
Rights Resource Center to provide the necessary staff support for
the tasks outlined in the attached contract.
