Request that the Affirmative Action Officer and Director of Personnel meet with representatives of the Hispanic Round Table of Contra Costa County to receive their suggestions on how to structure the quarterly reports to our Committee to reflect applicant flow data and other baseline figures which will better allow analysis of the quarterly reports, prepare such data, and then meet again with the representatives of the Hispanic Round Table to review the proposed data. 2 . Request the Affirmative Action Officer to report to our Committee again on January 9, 1989 utilizing the format agreed to with the Hispanic Round Table and covering the same subjects included in the Affirmative Action Officer ' s report to our Committee at our meeting on September 26, 1988 . 3 . Request the Affirmative Action Officer to validate the accuracy of the recruitment lists which are currently being used and solicit input on such lists from the Hispanic Round Table. 4 . Request the Affirmative Action Officer to determine to what extent staff can present additional data on MBE/WBE participation in contract awards so that it is clear how many minority and women-owned businesses are participating in contract awards, not just the total dollar value of contracts which are awarded to minority and women-owned businesses. BACKGROUND: On July 12, 1988, the Board of Supervisors directed the Affirmative Action Officer to report to our Committee September 26 on a wide variety of subjects. This report was to be made in the form of a quarterly report. At our meeting on September 26, 1988, we received the report from our Affirmative Action Officer, a copy of which has been furnished to each Board Member.

Mr. Lopez raised a number of valid questions about baseline data which is needed in order to properly evaluate the current workload data. Mr. Lopez ' written recommendations to our Committee are also attached. Mr. Lopez noted, for instance, that without data that shows the current total number of employees in the County, and the number of such employees by various ethnic, racial and sex groupings, it is difficult to evaluate the significance of some of the data that is presented in terms of hirings, promotions, and separations. Because of the pressure of time, our Committee was unable to review all portions of the data presented by the Affirmative Action Officer. We do, however, recognize the value of the comments made by Mr. Lopez and have, therefore, made the above recommendations. The Affirmative Action Officer and Director of Personnel need to evaluate what data is feasible to present given the limitations of our computer capabilities and negotiate the exact format for these quarterly reports with the Hispanic Round Table so that the data is understandable as well as feasible to gather and present. We will then review the data again in January based on these discussions.
