A copy of the goals, as adopted and approved by tile <br />Committee, are attached as the appendix. The goals themselves are <br />largely self-explanatory, and provide for the attainment of previ- <br />ously established affirmative action levels applied here upon a <br />departmental.basis. Likewise, the format is one within which each <br />department can easily work, and which simultaneously provides the <br />ability to review and analyze position categories in depth. <br /> <br />Both the Personnel Department goals and the format were approved <br />by the Committee without dissent. <br /> <br />Additionally, the departmental format and affirmative action plan <br />were reviewed by the Personnel Board on September 8, 1975. The <br />Board approved the departmental format as well as the Personnel <br />Department Plan with the following alterations: The Personnel <br />Board recommends that the City Council carefully review tile con- <br />cept of using community parity when establishing goals for spe- <br />cific job levels and classifications by departments. It is recom- <br />mended that the goals and timetables be based on availability data <br />and anticipated turnover. <br /> <br />CONCLUSION <br /> <br />City Council approval and acceptance will enable the establishment <br />of affirmative action goals to proceed on a departmental basis. <br /> <br />APPENDIX <br /> <br />Personnel Department Affirmative Action Plan <br /> <br />PRI RED BY <br /> <br /> <br />
