PURPOSE: To approve a Contract between Orange County and the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission(EEOC).
BACKGROUND: On May 8, 1996, the Human Relations Commission(HRC) received
notification that the application for designation as a Fair Employment Practices Agency (FEPA)
had been approved. This designation provides a mutually agreed-upon process for handling
employment discrimination complaints that are currently within the jurisdiction of both Orange
County and the EEOC. On June 3, 1996, Orange County entered into a 1 year contract, effective
as of 10/01/95, which provided for $50,000 in capacity-building funds, $500 for intake on 10 non-
jurisdictional charges, and $1,200 for travel costs associated with EEOC training. Although
originally Orange County had expected to receive 3 years of capacity-building funds, that policy
has been changed so that all new FEPAs only receive 1 year of capacity-building funds. The
attached contract for Federal Fiscal Year 1997 provides for$21,500 for processing and resolving
43 discrimination charges, $500 for intake for 10 non jurisdictional charges, and $1,200 for travel
costs associated with EEOC training.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the
contract and authorize the Chair to sign the contract.
