The Board received a report dated October 30, 1990 from the
County Administrator.' s Affirmative Action Office, which report
included a list of definitions of Hispanic used by the County,
Caltrans and other Bay Area agencies. The report noted that the

agencies in the Bay Area in that it excludes Portuguese from the
Hispanic definition.

uphold the denial of certification to Contra Costa Electric, Inc.

clarified that the State Department of Transportation has certified
Contra Costa Electric as a Minority Business Enterprise.
There being no further comments from the Board or the
public, the hearing was closed.

he understood from the previous meeting that the Board' s decision was
going to be based upon what the State of California did, and moved to
grant the certification.

Electric, Inc. is hereby GRANTED, and its request. for certification as
