Item No. 10B Type of Business: CB WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Givonna Reed, Assistant to the City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Revised 2000 Affirmative Action Plan Date of Report: October 23, 2000 At its September 11, 2000 meeting the City Council approved the City’s Affirmative Action plan for submission to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. The Department of Human Rights has reviewed our plan and recommended changes. Although most of the changes suggested were very minor, the Department did recommend that the City complete a Weighted Small Company Availability Analysis rather than the regular Small Company Availability Analysis that was submitted in September. You will recall that the regular Small Company Availability Analysis indicated that the City is underutilizing women by 13 and people of color by three. The State expressed serious reluctance to certify an organization as small as ours that was underutilizing women to such a high degree. In an effort to more accurately reflect our underutilization of women and people of color I conducted a Weighted Small Company Availability Analysis which calculates the number of women and people of color the City should employ given the size of each of our job groups and availability for each job group. The Weighted Small Company Availability Analysis (p.18) shows that the City is underutilizing women by six and people of color by one. I recommend that the City Council review the Weighted Small Company Availability Analysis and approve the revised Affirmative Action Plan for submission to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights for certification. Respectfully Submitted, ___________________________ Givonna Reed Assistant to the City Administrator
