It <br /> Sixth District addresses a brief sketch of relevant background information, <br /> JAMES V.BARCOME protections, and proposed procedures which will assist you in <br /> At Large <br /> AL B.PASZEK seeing the need for such an ordinance. <br /> At Large <br /> At Large instrumental thenodevelopmentrsof this Council ordinance, andnwillebe <br /> At Large <br /> KATHLEEN CEKANSKI-FARRAND providing additional data for the Council to consider when <br /> Council Attorney <br /> reviewing it. <br /> I believe that this ordinance addresses an important need for <br /> our City, that is, to insure equality of opportunity both in the <br /> City's employment and contracting actions. This is not an <br /> ordinance which seeks to maintain equal representation of <br /> minorities and women throughout the City work force or throughout <br /> City contracting. Rather, it is an effort to remedy in a <br /> carefully limited way past significant under-representation of <br /> minorities and women in certain areas of City business. <br /> I will be recommending that it be sent to the Hunan Resources <br /> and Economic Development Committee for a complete and thorough <br /> review. I look forward to discussing this ordinance with you and <br /> to seeking your support. <br /> Thank you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Eugeni Braboy D <br /> Second District Councilman <br />
