MEMORANDUM
To:
Frank Clifton, County Manager
From:
Nicole Clark, Human Resources Director
Date:
October 9, 2012
Subject:
Ban the Box
At the May 15, 2012 Regular Board Meeting, Mr. Hank Elkins representing the Partnership to End
Homelessness brought forth a petition asking that the Board of Commissioners revise the county
employee recruitment/application process to delay and/or possibly eliminate asking questions of
applicants regarding criminal history.
A review of job postings since May 15, 2012 shows that a question regarding criminal history was
asked on three separate postings. Since the beginning of September, there have been no postings
and this
that require an applicant to indicate whether or not they have a criminal background
question will not be asked going forward.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
