4.ACCEPT update and PROVIDE DIRECTION on the hiring process for the Co-Executive Directors for the
Office of Racial Equity and Social Justice.
The County's Human Resources Director, Ann Elliott, provided remarks to the Committee, noting that
County staff were meeting with two subcommittees: Hiring and another one for Outreach. Dr. Kerby
Lynch provided additional remarks about the design of the recruitment brochure, highlighting its
accessibility to a wide range of candidates who would feel welcome to apply for the Co-Director
positions, noting it does not look like the County's usual posting. Vice Chair Gioia commented that he
appreciated the look of the brochure but requested the words "and social justice" be added to the first
paragraph. Ms. Elliott noted the subcommittee would be meeting later in the day, and they would go
Page 4 of 16
over the brochure again to ensure "equity" beyond racial equity, is incorporated. Vice Chair Gioia
inquired about photo permission, which staff indicated they would ensure. The final job descriptions for
the Co-Director positions were acknowledged by the Committee. Ms. Lynch expressed her appreciation
for the great collaboration with County staff and leadership. She added that "community cafes" were
being established in advance of the job posting, and the tentative timeline would be shared. Recruitment
would begin in July with candidates tentatively as early as Sept. 19. There was no public comment.
However, interim Committee staff was advised that callers were not able to join the meeting. Staff
attempted to fix the technology problem and contacted IT support for assistance.
5.ACCEPT the report on the Clerk-Recorder-Elections Department equity efforts and provide input/direction
as needed.
The County's Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters, Kristin Connelly, provided the
Committee with a presentation, noting that equity was "at the heart of" their work. Vice Chair
Gioia requested additional locations for early voting. He requested a commitment to implement
this before the next election in 2024. Ms. Connelly indicated she would be pleased to bring
forward a recommendation to the Board for a budget modification to accommodate that request
and welcomed the opportunity. Chair Glover thanked her for her excellent presentation and her
readiness to take appropriate action.
6.CONSIDER the matter of providing stipends to members of the Lived Experience Community Advisory
Body and PROVIDE direction to staff.
Vice Chair Gioia provided comments indicating his support for this request for stipends, as the
subcommittee was fulfilling an important role in the process and noted that the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District was providing stipends as well for committee members with lived experience.Chair
Glover concurred in the matter and noted he wanted to ensure they were "fair and just." The stipend
proposal was presented by Dr. Kerby Lynch. Public comment from Mariana Moore was supportive of the
proposal and requested the Equity Committee take a broad look at compensation of boards and
commissions, noting Measure X Community Advisory Board in particular. Vice Chair Gioia noted Ms.
Moore had raised a good point, pointing out the disparities in compensation. Public comment was also
offered by Willie Robinson who supported equitable compensation. The Equity Committee directed staff
to send this to the full Board for consideration of an allocation of funding to support the stipends for the
subcommittee members involved in the Co-Director search process. CAO Nino inquired about who
would sign-off on stipend authorization if approved by the Board, and Ms. Elliott indicated that Human
Resources staff would.
7.The next meeting is currently scheduled for July 17 at 10:30 a.m.
Interim staff to the Committee was advised that the technical difficulties that prevented callers from

4.ACCEPT update and PROVIDE DIRECTION on the hiring process for the Co-Executive Directors for
Office of Racial Equity and Social Justice.
The County's Human Resources (HR) Director, Ann Elliott, led off on the udpate to the
Committee. She reported that the subcommittee and HR were meeting weekly. She
welcomed questions about the Co-Director job descriptions included in the packet. She noted
the collaborative project had been making great progress. A lot of focus had been on how to
differentiate the roles for the Co-Directors, one focused internally and the other focused
externally. She paused to ask for questions, but the Committee Members expressed a desire
to go through all of the attached documents first. Regarding the Recruiting Strategy and Work
Plan, she appreciated the feedback and the format provided by the subcommittee. She
provided an overview of the plan, noting a unique component which would include having the
finalists be out in the community, in chosen locations, to answer questions and have the
community meet them. She then specified who would conduct the finalist interviews.The final
document she discussed related to salary compensation.She provided information about the
recommended rates based on a compensation study. Ms. Elliott recognized the members of
the Core Committee who were present at the Committee meeting and turned it over to their
comments.
Dr. Kerby Lynch, the project management consultant working with the Core Committee,
requested feedback on the process as a model for the future. She reported on how salary
recommendations were developed, noting that they were intended to incentivize and retain
talent. She invited comment from Core Committee members and thanked Ms. Elliott for letting
the community lead. Roxanne Carrillo Garza and Latrece Martin echoed the thanks and
appreciated the opportunity to participate. Solomon Belette provided the following comment in
chat: "It has been a great process working together with the County team. The feedback and
guidance from our two Board of Supervisors has been extremely helpful as we are embarking
on something new and potentially transformative."
Chair Glover noted that this has been a different process, a new process, but not entirely
new. He expressed thanks to all for their heavy lifting, and was hopeful the County would get
a good range of well qualified candidates. He asked a question in terms of the process as it
relates to incorporating the Equity Committee into the interview panel. Vice Chair Gioia
reiterated the intent to have both Equity Committee members participate in the final
interviews. Ms. Elliott acknowledged the request and indicated the plan would be thus
modified. Vice Chair Gioia also commented on how the details of community involvement
would be developed as we move along. He also requested that outreach to the more
traditional city/county job listing services be conducted. He also noted that on Attachment B,
Inter-Agency was really "Inter-Departmental," so it doesn't imply external agencies and
requested that change. For the Education requirements, he requested additions for political
science and social sciences. He questioned the Data collection and analysis skills under the
"Knowledge of" component of Attachment B. Ms. Elliott responded that the Co-Director would
need to be a contributor and make sense of the data, to generate the priorities and outcomes,
and synthesize the information into work plans. Vice Chair Gioia appreciated the substitution
of experience for the education requirement. He also requested that the 5% COLA approved
by the Board be included in the salary information when conducting recruitment.
Public Comment: Call_in_user 1 requested response to her comments. She wanted to know
who will be supervising the work of these Co-Directors to provide accountability to taxpayers,
and she noted there needed to be metrics established to evaluate the work of the Office to
determine if it was having a beneficial impact. She also wanted to know how this could be
disbanded if it didn't work.Mariana Moore commented that she was happy to see this
progress from last November when the Board unanimously supported the recommendations
of the community, noting it was "deeply collaborative, inclusive, and rigorous," setting up the
opportunity for success for the 2 Co-Directors.

Chair Glover responded that the positions would be supervised consistent with County
practices, and the positions would report to the Board. Vice Chair Gioia requested that staff
send the recommendations from the Equity Committee to the full Board of Supervisors with
the 3 attachments for next Tuesday's meeting (May 23). Ms. Elliott noted the requested
amendments would be made to the documents.
5.ACCEPT the report on the Department of Child Support Services' DEI practices and provide
input/direction as needed.
The Department of Child Support Services, Lori Cruz, presented a PowerPoint presentation that
covered her Department's 3 current initiatives directed at equity, noting 2 more would be underway this
summer related to the Employee Handbook and a DEI Committee.With regard to her Department's
Outreach to Underserved Communities, she noted that previously this effort had a lower profile, with
the Department relying too much on word-of-mouth and succumbing to geographic obstacles.
However, they were now getting out to all 5 districts with an even-handed outreach approach to
increasing partnerships and community visibility. They were also focusing on the reentry community
and agencies and building trust in government. She noted they were working hard to ensure that
staffing meets the priorities of expanded services. An assessment tool, in development, would be
useful to determine or assess a family's unmet needs beyond financial needs. She then covered the
slide related to their Recruitment Hiring Onboarding Committee, which had been developed in the last 2
months. It was comprised of volunteers from the Department who were engaged in the process. She
also reported on the work of a Regional Workgroup, whose recent priority has been ensuring DEI
needs of staff and customers. She concluded with a slide on the upcoming initiatives.
Chair Glover expressed appreciation for the presentation and acknowledged Vice Chair Gioia's
suggestion to have these at the Committee meetings.

6.INTERVIEW candidate Stephen Langsam for the vacant Business Member Seat on the Advisory Council
on Equal Employment Opportunity and make a recommendation on appointment to the Board of
Supervisors.
The County's EEO Officer, Antoine Wilson, presented this item to the Committee, noting a
vacant Business Seat on the ACEEO that the candidate was seeking to fill. The candidate,
Stephen Langsam, was present (via Zoom) for the interview and had been attending ACEEO
meetings. Chair Glover asked about recruitment for the vacancy whether there were other
candidates; Mr. Wilson responded that there were no others and outreach had been
conducted. An interview was conducted by the Committee, with the candidate expressing his
interest and background. Vice Chair Gioia asked the candidate about how he saw the role and
its ability to help achieve equal opportunity. Mr. Langsam responded that he had first-hand
experience in business and had volunteered in the community as well. The Committee noted
they were in support of the appointment and directed staff to send to the full Board. The Chair
of the ACEEO, Miguel Mauricio, expressed his support for the appointment of Mr. Langsam.
Call_in_user 1 commented that the candidate appeared to be qualified but was curious as to
why there was only 1 applicant.
AYE: Chair Federal D. Glover
Vice Chair John Gioia
7.RECOMMEND that the Board of Supervisors DECLARE the Community Seat 1 vacant on the ACEEO
and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy, as recommended by the County's EEO Officer.
The County's EEO Officer, Antoine Wilson, presented the item to the Committee, noting the
Page 10 of 16
The County's EEO Officer, Antoine Wilson, presented the item to the Committee, noting the
current vacancies on the Advisory Council on Equal Employment Opportunity (ACEEO) in
addition to the Community 1 seat, the subject of the staff report. He added that there were
some applications received in his office for the vacancies in the specified seats. Vice Chair
Gioia requested that the vacancy announcement be updated to include all vacancies--not just
for the Community 1 seat. Call_in_user 1 was confused by the item; Vice Chair Gioia clarified
that this item was addressing a different vacancy on the ACEEO.
AYE: Chair Federal D. Glover
Vice Chair John Gioia
8.CONSIDER and PROVIDE direction to the Advisory Council on Equal Employment Opportunity's
subcommittee on their recommended changes to the County's Small Business Enterprise program. Final
recommendations would be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for consideration and adoption.
The County's EEO Officer, Antoine Wilson, introduced the Chair of the ACEEO, Miguel
Mauricio, who would be presenting the item from the ACEEO subcommittee on
recommendations regarding the Small Business Enterprise Program. Mr. Wilson also noted
that the County's Purchasing Manager, Cindy Shehorn, and the Public Works Deputy
Director, Carrie Ricci, were present as well.
Mr. Mauricio provided some context for the subcommittee recommendations, noting that
County departments were not consistently meeting the Board established goal of awarding at
least 50% of eligible product and service dollars to small businesses. He then reviewed the
recommendations of the subcommittee which were included in the report.
Regarding the recommendation to increase the applicability threshold to $200,000, Vice Chair
Gioia asked the Public Works representatives to respond to the performance data in the
report. Ms. Ricci responded that awareness of the SBE program requirements needs to be
increased. Not all departments utilize the Purchasing division. She also noted that they were
working with the County Administrator's Office through Tim Ewell to update the County's
Purchasing Bulletin, which could improve the situation. Increasing the number of bids from
SBEs could result in more SBE awards. Purchasing was also reaching out to all vendors in
the database to update their information. Some of the recommendations of the ACEEO
subcommittee have been discussed internally; more discussion would be needed for tracking
purposes.
Additional comments were provided about the Local Bid Preference recommendation; there
was a clear need to improve countywide communication about the policy and to routinely train
staff on the policy. The Local Bid Preference had not been implemented to staff's knowledge,
which dismayed Vice Chair Gioia. Chair Glover requested a schedule of review for all Board
policies. County Administrator Nino responded that a review and evaluation for the
Purchasing policies would be put into place. Vice Chair Gioia requested an update on this in
the next quarter, suggesting August or September meeting of the Equity Committee. Mr.
Wilson noted the ACEEO recommendations would also be presented to the Board's Internal
Operations Committee before presentation to the full Board.
Call_in_user 1 indicated that from a "taxpayer's perspective, this is comedy," noting the 5%
local bid preference could have been raised "long time ago," and she did not support the
threshold increase to $200,000.
9.The next meeting is currently scheduled for June 20, 2023 at 1:00 p.m.
