BACKGROUND:
The Advisory Council for Equal Employment Opportunity (ACEEO) was established in July 1991 to serve as an advisory committee to the Board of Supervisors regarding the implementation of the County's Affirmative Action Plan, to review the Affirmative Action Program and to recommend actions to facilitate attainment of the County's goal for affirmative action. The Council is composed of 13 members and a Board committee reviews nominations to all seats except those designated for County managers and labor unions. Terms of office for seats reviewed by Board Committee are three years.
In 2013, Internal Operations Committee (IOC) reviewed Board Resolution Nos. 2011/497 and 2011/498, which stipulate that applicants for At Large/Non Agency-Specific seats on specified bodies are to be interviewed by a Board subcommittee. The Resolutions further permit a Board Committee to select a screening committee to assist in interviewing applicants for appointment for certain bodies, including the ACEEO.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to appoint members to advisory committees reduces public and employee participation in the EEO processes.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
