Volpe, Chairman Board of County Commissioners Collier County Courthouse Complex Naples, Florida 33962-4977 '-..,.,.' ")IFj; fl '~'\...\ ,I r ( Re: Minority Affairs Committee Dear Coa~issioner Volpe: Your letter of August 13, 1992 was discussed at the regular meeting of the Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board (H.A.A.B.) on August 27, 1992. Your letter suggested the dissolution of the H.A.A.B. and the Black Affairs Advisory Board (B.A.A.B.) and the merger/creation of one minority affairs board. I understand that your proposal was initially discussed at a media event at which neither the H.A.A.B. nor the B.A.A.B. were represented. The consensus of the H.A.A.B. is that a merger of the H.A.A.B. and the B.A.A.B. is counterproductive to the mission and goals of both Boards. Two separate Boards were created because the needs of the two communities are distinct and require a different approach. We believe that we have worked together successfully in those areas where our respective communities' needs overlap. In fact, on the Department of Equal Opportunity (DEO) proposal, we worked with not only the B;A.A.B., but with organizations and individuals representing all segments of the community. Members of both Boards have expended considerable time and effort in fulfilling the charge of the enabling Ordinance No. 91-37, as revised by Ordinance No. 92-44. The proposal to dissolve/merge the two Boards was not well received and 1S suoject to the perception that the proposal is made in direct response to our support of the DEO proposal.

As I have indicated previously, County Attorney Ken Cuyler has indicated that it is not appropriate for me to recommend any applicants for this vacancy. You may submit the applicant to the Board of County Commissioners for the Board's consideration and decision.
