BACKGROUND:
The Advisory Council on Equal Employment Opportunity (ACEEO) assists with the implementation of the County's Equal Employment Opportunities and Contracting Programs and serves as an advisory committee to the Board of Supervisors. The Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Council is composed of thirteen (13) members appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Four (4) members of the Advisory Council shall be representative of the community; (3) members shall be representative of employee organizations; two (2) members shall be representative of County management; one (1) member shall be representative of education; (1) one member shall be representative of the disability community; (1) member shall be representative of the business community; and one (1) member shall be representative of veterans.
For many years, the Internal Operations Committee served as the reviewing committee for ACEEO nominations; 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. The process for the above seats is that the Equal Employment Officer conducts recruitment for membership, the ACEEO or a subcommittee thereof will screen applications or candidates and then forward its nominations to the Equity Committee for consideration and possible recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The seat will not be declared vacant.
