OR AN G E C O U N T Y <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: OCTOBER 1, 1990 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item # =X-- <br />SUBJECT: REPORT ON PROCESS TO RESOLVE DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINTS <br />DEPARTMENT: COMMISSIONERS <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />MEMO FROM JEAN BOLDUC <br />PUBLIC HEARING: Yes _X —No <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />MOSES CAREY, EXTENSION 2130 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough - 732 -8181 <br />Durham - 688 -7331 <br />Mebane - 227 --2031 <br />Chapel Hill - 967 - 9251/968 -4501 <br />PURPOSE: To report on procedures to be established that would <br />resolve discrimination complaints and problems. <br />BACKGROUND: After a discussion with Jean Bolduc, I have asked <br />staff to work with the Human Relations Commission to <br />develop plans for the processing of complaints, and <br />training of volunteers. This training would offer <br />information on the availability of existing resources <br />and institutions designed to resolve discrimination <br />complaints and problems as well as to insure that <br />proper referral is made for those problems where <br />existing institutions can be of assistance. This <br />training will also insure that proper follow -up is <br />conducted to determine what happened as a result of a <br />complaint and if the complainant followed through with <br />the agency to whom they were referred. <br />If there is no existing resource we need to maintain a <br />list of those complaints because we may at a later <br />time see fit to pass ordinances to prohibit that <br />particular type of discrimination in Orange County. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />
