HRC members discussed ways to modify the presented plan to
include suggestions discussed. Mike Powers presented
suggestions for Phase I, as discussed. Commission members then
took a 10 minute executive session to prioritize Mike's
suggestions with the addition of the Commission's suggestion.
Decided on were:
Phase 1 I. Address the impact on women and minorities of promotions
from within a department (the pyramid effect). Give
departments a "report card" with a time frame. Not in
compliance - go to Phase 2.
2. Institute a stranger system of accountability with more
specificity. Example: applicant tracking. If not in
compliance, go to Phase 2. Evidence of past abuse of system
should be used as incentive.
3. Contractual and hourly employees should be added to the
computer and included in computerized report. Mike
indicated a computer program for tracking and addition of
numbers of women and minorities could be implemented
immediately.
4. Employee Development Department is asked to provide
career -development training, both in-house and out, to
alleviate the problem addressed in #1 above.
5. More specific recruiting should be implemented to find women
and minorities to fill positions. Recruiting can be
instituted locally by advertising in regional women's
magazines, and nationally, by advertising openings in
magazines of specific application to the job.
Mike Powers will rewrite the EEO -AA plan incorporating the
Commission's suggestions. He will contract a member of the
EEO -AA committee and the chairwoman of the Commission to go over
with them the rewritten plan. If the redone plan is acceptable
to these people, the plan will be presented to the Commission at
the retreat in August. We are only acting on Phase 1 now.
