8. REMOVE this item as a referral to our Committee.
BACKGROUND:
On May 11, 1993, the Board of Supervisors referred to our Committee
a request from Delta 2000 that they be officially authorized to
assist the Board of Supervisors in recruiting applicants for
various boards, committees and commissions, with an emphasis on
recruiting women, minorities and East County residents.
On June 28, 1993, our Committee met with Ruth Goodin, Executive
Director of Delta 2000 and Theresa Saunders, a member of Delta
2000's Cultural Sensitivity Committee and a Vice Principal at
Antioch High School .
The Board of Supervisors has traditionally had difficulty getting
a representative group of East County residents to be interested in
serving on County advisory boards, committees and commissions . In
addition, we have had difficulty recruiting women and minority
candidates for many advisory boards, committees and commissions.
Delta 2000 's Cultural Sensitivity Committee has initiated a Board
and Commissions Recruiting Project for three purposes:
A. To increase the awareness of East County residents about the
opportunities available to serve on boards, committees and
commissions appointed by the Contra Costa County Board of
Supervisors.
B. To increase the participation of minority and East County
residents on Contra Costa County boards, committees and
commissions .
C. To provide orientation sessions for East County residents who
are interested in applying for Contra Costa County boards,
committees and commissions.
We believe that Delta 2000 can serve a very real and important
function by providing this additional recruitment resource for
women, minorities and East County residents. We have, therefore,
formulated the above recommendations, which we believe will assist
Delta 2000, the Board of Supervisors and the participation of
women, minorities and East County residents in the work of Contra
Costa County.
