p���od�r <br />JJN 2 7 X90 <br />M R M 0 R A N D U M �m <br />TO: Moses Carey, Chair <br />Orange County Commissioners <br />FROM: Jean Bolduc, Cha <br />Human Relations CL-1 <br />DATE: June 26, 1990 <br />SUBJECT: Complaint monitoring <br />Since the Human Rights office will not be opened this year, <br />I would like to propose a practical alternative for <br />complaint monitoring. It is my understanding that the Boar <br />of Commissioners must approve the process by which this is <br />done, therefore I am requesting your approval for the <br />following. <br />I would like to have a commission member available in a <br />public facility (such as the Orange County Library, Chapel <br />Hill Library, etc.) for one afternoon per month, to accept, <br />or monitor complaints from individuals. These will be <br />logged and kept confidential. This would be a mechanism fo <br />people to confidentially (NOT ANONYMOUSLY) report incidents <br />We will make it clear that we do not have enforcement <br />powers, and that our ability to assist Andividuals is <br />limited to referral. We will solicit materials and <br />cooperation from county and private agencies to provide <br />informational materials on their services. This will help <br />us in developing a broader base of information for ongoing <br />needs assessment. <br />As you know, this is not a new idea. This same type of <br />schedule of outreach is used by the EEOC. It is, however, <br />new level of commitment by the commission. This would <br />require only one afternoon per year by each member (actual: <br />less than that) and I feel that even a volunteer commissiol <br />can achieve this level of service. <br />Please let me know if more detailed information is <br />order for you to make a decision. I look forward <br />from you. <br />cc: HRC membership <br />2 <br />a <br />F1 <br />needed in <br />to heari ng <br />
