Moore TELEPHONE NUMBERS: ext: 2250 Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 336-227-2031 PURPOSE: To consider approval of a Worksharing Agreement between Orange County and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for services performed during the FFY 2000. BACKGROUND: On October 6, 1996, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Worksharing Agreement between Orange County and the EEOC. The EEOC subsequently proposed a modification of the contract that extended the original Contract between the parties, for the period of October 1, 1998 through September 30, 1999. The EEOC proposes a new Worksharing Agreement with Orange County to cover the period from the ls` day of October 1999 to the 30th day of September 2000, which maybe renewed or modified by the mutual consent of the parties. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The EEOC reimburses the Human Relation Commission in the amount of $500 per closed case and $50 per intake. The Human Relations Commission has requested that EEOC increase the contract amount of cases from 51 to 60 cases and 20 intakes, for a total of $31,000. If both parties agree to the number of cases requested, this will result in an increase in the FFY 2000 contract of $4,500. RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Worksharing Agreement and authorize the Chair to sign the agreement.
