Subjects 1998/99 Annual After Action Report
The purpose of this letter is to provide a summary of the actions
taken by and on behalf of the Commission during the 1998/99 work
year.
a. In May 1998, the Contra Costa County Grand Jury issued a report
declaring that affirmative action in county hiring and contract
awards was no longer needed, In March 1999, the Commission
proposed to the Grand Jury that a more detailed examination of the
program be conducted with consultation and advisory support
provided by the county Human Relations Commission. We .requested
that the Grand Jury respond to our proposal by May 5, 1999. As of
May 5, 1999 no written response had been received.. The
Commission voted to send a letter the Grand Jury confirming the lack
of response and to discuss future actions at the next scheduled
general meeting.
b. In January 1999, an article in the Contra Costa Times indicated
that federal funds (Title 1) intended to narrow the achievement gap
between the "haves" and the "have nots" in public education have not
achieved their purpose. Thirty plus years ago, the Title 1 program
was implemented with the understanding that a major reason for the
economic gap between groups is the gap in educational achievement.
The gap in educational achievement in most instances, corresponds to
the tax base of the school district. In March 1999, the Corrm-fission
requested speck information from the Contra Costa County Office of
Education by May 5, 1999 in an effort to determine the success of
this program in this county. As of May 5, 1999 the Commission was
in receipt of a letter from. the County Superintendent of Schools
1
indicating that .his office did not collect or have the information that
was requested and that we should contact the individual school
districts for assistance. .Along with the letter was sent a general
information packet that did not address the topic of our concerns.
The Commission voted to discuss future actions at the next scheduled
general meeting.
c. Deference the Commission's 1998/99 Work Plan. The Commission
planned to sponsor and conduct a series of one day workshops for
teachers and administrators in Contra Costa County. The purpose and
theme of the workshops was to promote diversity in public schools
and to orient those workshops toward student safety and academic
success. The Board of Supervisors approved the project with the
stipulation that all workshops be coordinated with and approved by
all affected school districts or their elected boards of education. The
coordinator for that project (Connnissioner Cutbirth) resigned in
November 1998 which caused an indefinite delay in the planning
and coordination process. Commissioner Paredes has assumed
responsibility for this project. No progress was made on this project
in the 1998/1999 work year.
d. Reference the Commission's 1998/99 Work Plan. In spring of
1998, the Commission issued a report to the Board of Supervisors
that included statistics from the California Department of Fair
Employment and. Housing (CDFFH). Based on the data compiled in
that report it was revealed that Contra. Costa County experienced a
drastic increase in the number of complaints in calendar year 1994
with no significant reduction in the rate through 1998.. This is a
continuation of the Commission's project to finance, develop, and
conduct a public relations campaign to promote diversity within the
county. Updated statistics are attached to this report. In December
1998, the Commission requested and received a $10,000 GRIP fund
allocation to search for and pay a grant writer. It is estimated that
the project will cost between $300,000 and $400,000. A committee
(Cmnsnrs Daniels, Ruelig, and Norman) has been appointed and a grant
writer should be identified before September 1999. In support of
this effort, at the April general meeting, the Commission voted to
establish a nonprofit, tax exempt corporation to house and manage
2
the funds. This was done because private foundations typically do
not contribute to government entities.
e. Reference the Commission's 1998/99 Work Plan. The Commission
published and distributed bulletins in November 1998 (Cmsnr
Colangco) and April 1999 (Cmsnr Paredes) to all human rights
organizations and known media outlets that service Contra Costa
County. A copy of the bulletin was sent to the office of each
Supervisor. At the May 1999 general meeting, the Commission voted
to publish the next issue in April 2000.
L Deference the Comniission's bylaws adopted November 1998.
Election of officers for the 1999/2000 work year were held at the
general meeting conducted on May 12, 1998. The Chairperson and
Vice Chairperson are Commissioners Marsha Golangco and Stan
Norman respectively. Their terms begin ,dune 1, 1999 and will end
May 31, 2000.
g. As of the general meeting held May 12, 1999, eleven of fifteen
and one alternate seat are filled.. It is requested again that
Commissioner Sierninski (the alternate) be assigned a numbered seat.
The point of contact for this report is the undersigned at the phone
number on this letterhead or at his office (313-751.4). please advise
the Commissioner if representation is des' when s report is
considered.
