Information

Referral History:

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 the 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 the Board Committee are three years.

The Board makes appointments to two distinct types of seats on its advisory bodies. The following process will be followed for appointments to these two types of seats:

Type 1: Supervisorial District Appointments Applications may be delivered to either the Clerk of the Board or to the District Supervisor's office. Applications received by a Supervisor's office are to be sent to the Clerk of the Board, and a copy is to be retained by the Supervisor's office. The Clerk of the Board will ensure that the Supervisor has a copy of all applications originally filed with the Clerk of the Board.

Type 2: At Large/Countywide Appointments Applications are sent to the Clerk of the Board. The Clerk of the Board will distribute the applications to the appropriate interviewer. With the exception of the Planning Commission and the Treasury Oversight Committee, bodies may generally conduct their own interviews of applicants, unless provided direction by a Board Committee. When an advisory body conducts interviews, the body's recommendation will be provided to a Board Committee for further review, along with all applications received for the applicable seat. In all cases, the Board Committee decides which applicants to nominate for full Board action.

Referral Update:

For many years, the IOC served as the reviewing committee for ACEEO nominations/resignations; however, the mission of the ACEEO is more consistent with the Board's Equity Committee, which is now designated as the reviewing committee for ACEEO nominations/resignations to the following seats:

Community 1, 2, 3, & 4
Education
Business
Labor Involved in Training
Veterans
Disabled
Union Seats 1 &2
Management Seats 1 & 2

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

ACCEPT the resignation of Mark Pighin (Disability seat) on the Advisory Council on Equal Employment Opportunity (ACEEO) and recommend that the Board of Supervisors DECLARE a vacancy on the ACEEO with the term expiration date of November 30, 2022.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

None.
