2 .... <br />4� <br />MEMORANDU -M <br />TO: Orange county Board of Commissioners <br />Moses Carey, Chair <br />FROM: Jean Bolduc, chair - Human Relations Commission <br />DATE: May 11, 1992 <br />SUBJECT: Attached Correspondence <br />By way of the attached correspondence, I am formally <br />requesting approval for the activities described <br />therein. Most importantly, I would like the board of <br />commissioners to vote for approval /disapproval on the <br />issue of the commission's becoming available to the <br />public through Kathy Baker's support. This will allow <br />us to monitor complaints on an ongoing basis, which we <br />must be able to do in order to fulfill our mandate. <br />The commission will not seek, at this time, to <br />intervene in complaints, but will instead serve only to <br />direct individuals to the appropriate oversight agency. <br />We mainly wish to raise awareness in orange county and <br />be able to track complaints and reports of problematic <br />activity. We will also plan to conduct educational <br />workshops in general subject areas, and fulfill our <br />commitment to report hate crime activity that is <br />reported to us. <br />Moses, we have already attempted to have the public <br />contact us by mail. It was less than a great success <br />and, more importantly, is exclusionary for those <br />individuals who can't write or read well. We need <br />this reporting mechanism very much, and would <br />appreciate your support. It would be most helpful if I <br />could have a response by June 1, 1992, so that the <br />board can -move forward on this. <br />As ever, please feel free to call me and discuss. <br />cc: HRC Board Membership <br />
