SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS :

Director regarding the status of the Phase II objectives for
the Outreach and Recruitment Action Plan.

BACKGROUND:
On December 18, 1990, the Board of Supervisors asked the Director
of Personnel to 'consider ways in which his office could expand
outreach efforts throughout the County in an effort to identify
more women and minorities who are eligible for available positions
in the County and to report back to the Internal Operations
Committee early in 1991 .
The result of this referral was the Outreach & Recruitment Action
Plan, which had two phases . Our Committee has been providing
oversight to the development and implementation of this Action Plan
since 1991 . The Board of Supervisors on December 15, 1992 approved
the most recent report from the Internal Operations Committee on
this subject. This report included the following referrals :

* Direct the Director of Personnel to include, at an appropriate
point in the objectives, the Board of Supervisors ' previous
direction to commit to providing appropriate employment
opportunities to recipients of the Kennedy-King scholarships
and similar scholarship programs .
* Direct the Director of Personnel, consistent with his report
in regard to Objectives #3 and #4 for Phase II, to address,
during 1993, the need to obtain and track by computer the
race/ethnicity and sex of temporary and contract employees .
The attached report from the Assistant Director of Personnel
responds to these two referrals . In regard to the Kennedy-King
Scholarship Program, the Board of Supervisors on March 2, 1993
approved the procedure outlined in the attached report outlining an
internship program for the Kennedy-Kind Scholarship Program
recipients .
The attached report also provides a progress report on the need to
identify and track the race/ethnicity of all temporary employees
and contract employees, since this information is not currently
available. Our recommendations will move these referrals forward.
Following our review of the subsequent reports from the Director of
Personnel on these subjects we will make further reports to the
Board of Supervisors .

FROM: Harry D. Cisterman, Director of Personnel
By: Eileen K. Bitten, Assistant Director of Personnel
SUBJECT: Outreach Recruitment Phase II
At the time of our last report you directed us to follow-up on two
issues.
1. Kennedy-King Scholarship Program. A procedure for
establishing an internship program has been
developed and was approved by your Committee and by
the Board on March 2, 1993 . (copy attached)
2. Tracking of the race/ethnicity and sex of temporary
and contract employees. We have developed a method
and system to track temporary employees which will
be fully operational by April 1, 1993 . We are in
the final stages of developing a system for tracking
contract employees. This system has been more
difficult to develop inasmuch as the Personnel
Department has no role in the current process.
In our proposal we recommend that opportunities for
contracted employment be offered first to available
and qualified laid off County employees through the
Tactical Employment Team. This concept was proposed
to your Committee and the Board on March 2 , 1993 .
The targeted implementation date for the reporting
system is June 1993 .

TO: Harry D. Cisterman, Director of Personnel
FROM: Teen K. Bitten, Assistant Director of Personne
SUBJECT: Kennedy-King Scholarship
The following proposal for implementation of the Board's directive for the
employment of Kennedy-King scholars is presented for your review.
At our meeting with Gregory McCoy, Chair of the Foundation Board, we decided it
would be most effective to work on a two-faceted approach given the County's
financial status and dim hiring picture.
1. Develop opportunities for Summer internships beginning Summer of
1993.
2. Provide job search counselling and information to present and past
recipients of the Kennedy-King scholarships.
To accomplish Item 1, it was decided:
1. A liaison to work with the County will be appointed by the Kennedy-
King Scholarship Board - February 8, 1993
2. A presentation on the program will be made at the Department Head
Meeting (present Board Order, program, materials) - February 25,
1993
3. Review resumes of students entering second year of the Program to
determine possible areas of interest - March
4. Develop internships by visiting those departments most likely to have
opportunities - March/April
5. Receive background information of new scholarship awardees - End
of April
6. Meet with awardees and explain the internship and identify possible
participants - Early May
7. Finalize internship slots; make job matches - May
To implement Item #2, we will meet with the Scholarship Board's representative to:
1. Identify a method of distributing information about job availabilities
to program participants.

2. Identify a forum for meeting with participants concerning the
employment process in local government including:
- structure and function of local government;
- job search techniques;
- resume preparation;
- oral interview presentation skills;
- written test-taking skills.
I will keep you informed as we proceed
