ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: February 14, 2000 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 8-d <br />SUBJECT: Contract between the Orange County Human Relations Commission and the <br />E ual Em to ment O ortuni Commission for Fiscal Year 2000 <br />DEPARTMENT: Human Rights and Relations PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Annette M. Moore, ext. 2250 <br />Copy of letter and Proposed Contract <br />0/5010%0145 (Under Separate Cover) TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 9fi8-4501 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> Mebane 336-227-2031 <br /> <br />PURPOSE: To approve a Contract between Orange County and the Equal Employment <br />Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for services performed during FFY 2000. <br />BACKGROUND: In September 1999, the EEOC proposed a new Worksharing Agreement to <br />cover the period from the 15t day of October 1999 to the 30th day of September 2000, which <br />could be renewed or modified by the mutual consent of the parties. On September 14, 1999, the <br />Board authorized the Chair to sign the Worksharing Agreement for FY 2000. The attached <br />contract reflects the period embodied in the Worksharing Agreement signed on September 14~'~ <br />Additionally, the Human Relations Commission requested that EEOC contract with Orange <br />County for 60 cases and 20 intakes. It should be noted that the county did maximize its number <br />of cases last year. For this year's activities, Congress reduced EEOC's overall appropriation. <br />This caused a reduction in Orange County's appropriation by $4,000 and thereby reduced <br />EEOC's ability to contract for the number of cases requested. EEOC has agreed to contract <br />with the Commission for 52 cases and 20 intakes. EEOC has asked that we return the contract <br />within ten days, acknowledging that they were delayed because of the late appropriation from <br />Congress. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The EEOC will reimburse the Human Relation Commission in the <br />amount of $500 per closed case for up to 52 cases and $50 per intake for up to 20 intakes. In <br />addition, the EEOC will provide $1000 far training. The total contract amount is $28,000. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the contract and <br />authorize the Chair to sign the contract. <br />
