Title
Organization of Citizens Advisory Boards (NB)
This item relates to the mission, structure and organization of the Citizens Disability Advisory Committee (CDAC) and the Human Rights Board (HRB).
Explanation
The City Commission referred the organization of citizens advisory boards associated with the Office of Equal Opportunity to the Personnel & Organizational (P&O) Structure Committee and directed the Equal Opportunity Director to work with the HRB and CDAC to solicit their input on May 1, 2006.
On August 22, 2006, the Personnel & Organizational Structure Committee discussed this item and requested that the Equal Opportunity Director poll the Citizens Disability Advisory Committee (CDAC) and Human Rights Board (HRB) members concerning their missions and structures, and to give a report of their recommendations at the next P & O Committee.
On October 31, 2006, the Personnel & Organizational Structure Committee heard a report from Jimmie Williams, Equal Opportunity Director, regarding the mission, structure and organization of the Citizens Advisory Committee and the Human Rights Board. Both boards unanimously requested not to make changes and allow the two boards to remain separate as both missions are completely different.
Fiscal Note
None
Recommendation
The City Commission approve the recommendation from the Citizens Disability Advisory Committee (CDAC) and the Human Rights Board (HRB), allowing the two boards to remain separate and not consolidate and to remove this item from the Personnel & Organizational Structure Committee referral list.
