September 1,1993 Mr. Henry Tribble-Chairman Black Affairs Advisory Board 980 Huron court, Suite 403 Marco Island, Florida 33937 Re: Proposal for creation of the Collier county Department of Equal Opportunity Dear Mr. Tribble: At the meeting of the H.A.A.B., held on August 19,1993, we discussed the current DEO proposal which is to be submitted to the Board of county Commissioners in the near future.We remain committed to the concept of the DEO as a Department and taking all steps necessary to insure equal opportunity for all of the residents of Collier County receive less than a "fair shake" in areas of employment, housing, law enforcement, education and the like. Several of our members have, however, raised questions about the proposal as written, and it is these points that we wish to address in this letter and discuss with you and the B.A.A.B. in the near future. The following suggestions/concerns are in no particular order: 1- We believe that the Board of Commissioners should be requested to conduct its own needs assessment for this proposal. Our own research, limited as it is by our own lack of time and resources, clearly indicates the need for a DEO, but since we are interested in the outcome, it might be said to somewhat slanted. A.needs assessment would address these concerns and provide the Board of Commissioners with independent verification. Mr. Henry Tribble September1,1993 Page 2 2- The proposal should include a detailed , two-year (projected) operational budget. The budget should include not only staff salaries, but also salary increases, benefits, secret~~alstaff and overhead (administrative) costs. The feeling of some commissioners is that there are "hidden . costs not fully explained in the proposal. 3- We believe the " Human Rights Commission " should be deleted in its entirety. The Board is the policy making body and should be directly responsible to the public. 4- The proposal should include all data available on minority concentration,-I:e Demographic information on minority residents in Collier County. 5- The proposal should also address how the DEO will meet bilingual-type concerns. We hesitate to endorse a proposal that requires position " A II to be filled by a Spanish-speaking employee. It would be better to indicate how staff will meet the language concerns of all minority groups, including Hispanics, Creole, Guatemalans and others. 6- The proposal should include a detail explanation of any available and other funding sources which might be available for this project. 7- The proposal should pull together available data regarding discrimination complaints arising from Collier County. Mr. Henry Tribble September 1,1993 Page 3 The H.A.A.B. voted unanimously to issue this statement; to point out those concerns that in our opinion need to be re- evaluated and modified to give the proposal a better opportunity to become a reality. We reiterate supporting the CONCEPT for the creation of a Department of Equal Opportunity in Collier County. Members of the H.A.A.B. will be attending your upcoming B.A.A.B. meeting . s~rel:: ~!?~~~ Anna I.
