SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT ON THE COUNTY'S AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
AND MBE/WBE PROGRAMS
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Acknowledge receipt of the attached quarterly report from the County's Affirmative Action
Officer and express the Board's appreciation for the progress which has been made recently in
the hiring of Hispanics, Asians and Pacific Islanders.
2. Request the Affirmative Action Officer to make another quarterly report to our Committee on
October 9, 1989 at 10:15 A.M.
3. For the next quarterly report, request the Affirmative Action Officer to breakdown the data on
the County's workforce by department, income level and sex so we can determine which
departments are promoting women to higher technical,profession and management levels and
which departments are not. In breaking down this information the income levels which are used
should be the same ones used by the Personnel Department in the Pay Equity Study.
4. Request the Affirmative Action Officer to obtain copies of Affirmative Action Plans from Santa
Clara County and either Pacific Bell or Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and compare them to the
County's current Affirmative Action Plan, which is the Federal District Court Consent Decree.
5. Request County Counsel to provide our Committee on October 9, 1989 their opinion on what
additional steps the Board of Supervisors could take in the Affirmative Action area along the lines
of what Santa Clara County and either Pacific Bell or P.G. & E.have done in the light of recent
U. S. Supreme Court decisions. Request County Counsel to provide our Committee on October
9, 1989 with their analysis of what legal consideration the Board of Supervisors should take into
account if they were to adopt an Affirmative Action Plan which might go beyond the Consent
Decree.

6. Request the Affirmative Action Officer to prepare and forward to each member of the Board of
Supervisors a brief summary(no more than three pages)which summarizes what the County has
implemented in the Affirmative Action and MBE/WBE areas in the past three years and what
progress has been made in each of these areas.
BACKGROUND:
On June 6, 1989 the Board of Supervisors approved the last report from our Committee on the
County's Affirmative Action and MBE/WBE Programs.
On July 10, 1989 our Committee received and reviewed the attached report from our Affirmative
Action Officer. The report is very thorough and we will not attempt to repeat all of the information
here.
However,we do want to high-light two items in the report which we think are most significant. For
the first time, the Affirmative Action Officer notes that Hispanics, Asians/Pacific Islanders and
Filipinos were hired at levels at or above their labor force representation. This is a most significant
milestone and one we hope to see repeated in future quarterly reports.
Second, during the quarter there were three employees hired at salaries above $49,000. All three
were females; one was White,one was Hispanic and one was Asian. This is also a remarkable event
which helps to demonstrate that both minorities and women have a significant opportunity to
compete for the senior technical, professional and management positions in County service.
In the MBE/WBE Program, the Affirmative Action Officer reports that "The County has met its
MBE goals of 13% and the WBE goals of 2% in the construction program area". However, the
Community Development Block Grant Program has not come close to meeting the Board's MBE
and WBE goals. We hope the Community Development Director will review the process which is
used to award these contracts and try to improve performance in this area.
We were also pleased to learn that the Housing Authority exceeded its 20% goal for Minority
Business Enterprises and exceeded the County's WBE goal, even though they are not required to
have a WBE goal under federal law.
Representatives from the Advisory Committee on the Employment and Economic Status of Women
were present at our meeting on July 10, 1989 and presented our Committee with the results of a
department by department breakdown of female employees by income level. They have asked that
future reports from the Affirmative Action Officer provide such a breakdown. The Affirmative
Action Officer says this is feasible so we are asking that future reports be provided in a similarformat.
We had also asked Linda Moulton from the Community Development Department to provide us
some projections of what she believes the racial breakdown of the County's workforce will be when
we have the results of the 1990 census. While a number of assumptions have to be made and while
data is projected from school enrollments figures which may not be directly transferable to the labor
market it is clear that the percentage of Asians and Hispanics in the County's labor force will be
shown to have increased substantially, providing an additional challenge to the County as an
employer in the 1990's to increase even more the percentage of Hispanics and Asians in the County's
employment force.

SUMMARY
Hispanics, Asian/Pacific Islanders and Filipinos were hired.
significantly above their labor force representation this
quarter. This is a significant change for Hispanics. The
other ethnic groups (Black, and females) were also hired
above their labor force representation. Promotions indicate
a significant change among Hispanics, and femalescontinued
to be promoted above their labor force representation.
The separations. continue to show a pattern of Females and
Blacks separating from the County at higher percentages.
Resignations are the way most employees leave the County
when compared to retirements, rejection from probation and
dismissals.
One question of concern from several individuals and
community groups and organizations. was the number of
minorities and females hired. and promoted in the County that
earn over $49,000 per year. In this quarter, there were
three employees hired earning more than $49,000 per year.
All were females; one White, one Hispanic and- one Asian.
MBE/WBE Contract Compliance Program
The County continues to review its Contract Compliance
Program and evaluate the progress being made. in this program
area.

1. West county Justice Center
The West County Justice Center (attachment 4) is
approximately 40% completed. Walsh Construction
continues to make concerted efforts to increase the
minority and female participation on this project in
order to meet or exceed the County' s goals of 13%
minority and 2% female. Walsh currently has 11. 5%
minority ($3,407.V060) and 1. 9% female ($571,203 )
projected expenditure through the utilization of
MBE/WBE subcontractors, second tier subcontractors,
suppliers and truckers.
Through March 31, 1989, there were nineteen (19)
sub-contractors actively performing work with overall
percentages of 36% minority and 2% female participation
which meets the County's work force goals of 20.7%
minority participation goals but falls short of the
female goal of 6%.
2. Other Construction
(a) Construction projects (attachment 5) awarded for
the reporting period April through June 30, 1989,
totaled $860,100 of which MBE' s received 16% or
$139,188, WBE's received 5.4% or $46,413 and local
firms received 16. 4% or $141,039. No contracts
were awarded to local minority or local
women-owned businesses. The totals are from
projects with individual contract amounts in
excess of $50,000.
The cumulative contracts awarded through the end
of fiscal year 1988-89 totaled $3,659,936 of which
MBE's totaled $477,000 or 13% and WBE's totaled
$189,930 or 5 The third and fourth quarter
cumulative totals for local firms is $253,480.
Local firms were not monitored the first and
second quarter. There were $13 ,000 MBE locals and
0 WBE cumulative local firms. The County has met
its MBE goals of 13% and the WBE goals of 2% in
the construction program area.
(b) The Community Development Department - Community
Development Block Grant Program is funded by the
U. S. Department of Housing & Urban Development
(HUD) (attachment 5) . They report their
contracting activity on an semi-annual basis. The
goal set by HUD is 20% for MBE' s. There are no
WBE goals. For the semi- annual reporting period
from October 1988 to March 1989, the Community
Development Block Grant Program had contracts
totaling $102, 500 with no MBE or WBE contractors.
Page 5 of 7
Their cumulative totals for federal fiscal year (April
31, 1988 to March 31, 1989) totaled $674, 322 with
$12,000 or . 2% MBE participation and no WBE
participation. The 20% goal was not achieved in this
program.
(c) The Housing Authority also has a 20% MBE goal and
no WBE goal for its contracts that are funded by HUD.
The Housing Authority had semi- annual (October 1, 1988
to March 31, 1989) contracts totaling $996, 257 of which
$278,093 or 28% were MBE's and $41,042 or 4% were
WBE' s. Cumulative totals for federal fiscal year
(April 31, 1988 to March 31, 1989) was $1,858,606 with
25% ($461,214) MBE participation and 4% ($73,509) WBE
participation. The 20% MBE goal was exceeded and the
Housing .Authority exceeded the WBE County goal of 2%,
although a WBE goal was not required.
3. Purchasing Contracts
We continue to review the quarterly reporting
procedures for our purchasing contracts. Department
MBE/WBE liaisons have been sent copies of the January
to March and the April supply reports for their review,
corrections and comments. Once their review has been
completed and changes have been made, the report should
be finalized.
The General Services Department, Purchasing Division,
hosted the Bay Area Purchasing Council' s monthly
meeting. The Council is made up of public and private
companies whose purpose is to increase minority and.
women-owned business participation. Vendors took part
in the networking with private and public agencies
after the meeting.
4. Service Contracts
Department MBE/WBE liaisons are reviewing their service
reports for January to March and April. They were
asked to submit their comments and corrections so we
can move toward finalizing the service reports.
SUMMARY
The County' s MBE/WBE Contract Compliance Program is
progressing. We have met the MBE goal of 13% and exceeded
the 2% WBE goal with 5% WBE' s set for our Construction
program in projects within the General Services and Public
Works Departments. In our Federal program area, the Housing
Authority has exceeded their 20% fiscal year goal, with 25%
MBE' s.

ADDITIONAL REQUESTS
1. At my last Internal Operations Committee meeting, an
error was identified in the Special Statistical
Analysis Report section that compared minorities and
females promoted in the County in 1983 and 1988. The
correction is noted in attachment 6 of this report.
2. The Affirmative Action Subcommittee of the Advisory
Committee on the Employment and Economic Status of
Women requested to meet with me to discuss presenting
data on women in a different format. Four members of
the Committee met with me on June 12th and we agreed to
explore the possibility of presenting the salary and
department data using another format. The subcommittee
will be provided with department work force summaries
of more recent years, i.e. , 1987, 86, 83, etc. and will
be advised of the cost to program a report to generate
data in the format discussed. The committee would like
to compare female salaries in (for example 1975, 1983
and 1988 for each County department using three broad
salary groupings. The groupings are salaries between
$0. 1 - $24. 9; $25. 0 - $42. 9; and from $43 thousand.
dollars and more per year. This data would assist the
Committee determine if female salaries have increased
over the years. The Committee was provided with
December 1988 data for their immediate analysis.
3. The I.O. Committee requested the Affirmative Action
Division staff develop a pamphlet presenting the.
Affirmative Action and Contract Compliance Programs.
The draft should be available at the next I. O.
Committee meeting on Affirmative Action.
Conclusion
The continued support of departments and community groups
and organizations has made it possible for the County to
achieve its first significant hiring of Hispanics, Asian-
Pacific Islanders and Filipinos and the promotion of
Hispanics. Department and Community Support has also helped
the County and our Federal Program goals meet their MBE/WBE
construction contract goals for fiscal year 1988-89. The
Public Works, General Services, Community Development
Program Housing Authority MBE/WBE liaisons and Affirmative
Action Coordinators in all of the departments, and community
and profession groups and organizations should be commended
for their continued support and assistance in implementing
the County' s Affirmative Action and Contract Compliance
Programs.

Walsh Construction, through their Project Manager, Bob Abbott, has made
and is continuing to make a concerted effort to increase the minority and
female participation on this project in order to meet or exceed the
County's goals of 137 minority and 27 female. This effort is evidenced by
the increase in participation from 2% at time of bid opening to 11.57
through March 1989 for minorities and from .00057 to 1.97 through
March 1989 for females. Walsh Construction is continuing to encourage
subcontractors to utilize minority and/or female suppliers and second tier
subcontractors wherever feasible.
