Dear Council Members:
As you know, the Human Rights Commission has contracts with the
U.S . Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the U.S .
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) . The Commission
is reimbursed by EEOC and HUD for processing employment and
housing discrimination charges.
In October, 1984 , $57 ,200 in federal funds ($46 ,200 . 00 from EEOC
and $11,000. 00 from HUD) was appropriated to be administered by
the Commission. Because of an increase in EEOC funding and a
decrease in HUD funding, it has become necessary to submit the
attached Ordinance as a substitute for the Ordinance passed
in October of last year.
In addition, we are also placing before you for your consideration
an Ordinance appropriating $83,500. 00 that the Commission expects
to receive from EEOC and HUD in FY86 .
Your favorable approval of both Ordinances is appreciated.
I will be happy to answer any questions you might have regarding
this matter.
Sincer ly,
vv"
