AUTHORIZE the 1996 Internal Operations Committee to interview candidates for the minority or woman-owned business seat on the Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Council and return its recommendation to the Board of Supervisors and for this purpose REFER this issue to the 1996 Internal Operations Committee. BACKGROUND: The Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Council is an 11 member advisory body which includes 4 representatives of women, minorities and other protected groups; 1 representative of the disabled; 2 representatives of employee organizations; 1 representative of a minority-owned business; 2 management representatives, and 1 representative of labor who is involved in training programs. Due to resignations, 3 of the 4 seats representing women, minorities and other protected groups are vacant as well as the seat for a minority-owned business representative. We have recruited for applicants and have received 10 applications for the three vacancies representing women, minorities and other protected groups. On December 18, 1995, our Committee interviewed the candidates for these seats. We were pleased to have an outstanding group of candidates from which to select. We have selected the above-noted three individuals. Some of the other applicants are also eligible for the minority or woman-owned business seat, which we are recommending that the 1996 Internal Operations Committee interview for. We are also recommending the appointment of two of the applicants to existing vacancies on the Human Relations Commission in order to take advantage of their outstanding talents, interest and background. i -2- OWT-31-1995 ,02:19 SUPERVISOR TORLAKSON . 510427$142 P.02X02 CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ADVISORY BOARDS, COMMISSIONS OR COMMITTEES A.PPUCATION FORM Name of advisory board applying for __EQnA7.z+T.ov=3: n2!Pn4 11.TT?Y�A1nVT`A1?y ,C0T1Xrr; Application Roma must be typed or hand printed.
