Title
Merging City and County EO Offices (NB)
Explanation
The Equal Opportunity Committee discussed combining City and County EO Offices. A motion was made and approved to recommend to the full City Commission not to proceed with the consolidation of the two offices at this time. The Committee feels working with two missions, two boards, and two sets of standards and policies internally and externally would be obstacles to combining City and County Equal Opportunity functions. Additionally, the short time frame of the advertisement for the EO Director's position means that we would have to move quickly, and the EO Director for a combined office could call for a higher salary, off-setting any potential savings.
Fiscal Note
None
Recommendation
The City Commission not proceed with the consolidation of the City and County EO Offices.
