,. ,, <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />S~3BJECT <br />March 16, 1976 . <br />Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council <br />i <br />City Manager ' <br />Proposed Affirmative Action Plan <br />introduction <br />As the City Council is aware, in the furtherance of the goal of equal <br />opportunity in employment, Federal legislation requires the City to <br />develop, adopt and administer an affirmative action program. In <br />compliance with said requirement, we have developed the attached <br />affirmative action plan for your consideration., <br />Purpose of Affirmative Action Plan <br />Given the general goal of insuring. equal opportunity in employment, <br />the purpose of an affirmative action plan is to set forth the pro- <br />cedures, goals, and timetables to which an agency pledges its go9d <br />faith effort in order to increase the utilization of minorities <br />and females at all levels and in all segments of its work force <br />where utilization deficiencies exist. The term utilization refers <br />to the employment of minorities and females in all classifications <br />a.t a rate which can reasonably be expected given their availability <br />in each job classification within the respective labor market. There- <br />fore, a utilization deficiency or underutilization exists when within <br />a job classification the number of-minorities and females employed <br />is less than the number of minorities and females which can reasonably <br />expected to be available within the labor market of the particular <br />job classification. It is this latter situation, utilization defi- <br />ciencies, that the goals of affirmative action are designed to elimi- <br />nate. <br />Contents of Affirmative Action <br />Briefly reviewed, the major elements of the attached affirmative <br />action program areas follows: <br />Section I; Sets forth the primary objectives of the affirmative <br />fiction plan. <br />Sections II and III: D~ <br />Personnel as the city's <br />his specific duties and <br />action. <br />Section IV: Delineates <br />managemeht.personnel.in <br />ssignates the Assistant to the City Manager/ <br />Affirmative Action Officer and sets forth <br />responsibilities in the area of affirmative <br />thp..duties and responsibilities of the city's <br />''affirmative actior_. <br /> <br />
