Title
Equal Opportunity Committee Referral (B)
Explanation
At its September 2, 2010 meeting, the City Commission referred item 100340 Report on Low Socio-Economic Families to the Equal Opportunity Committee (EOC).
On September 21, 2010 the EOC discussed the report For Gainesville's Children prepared by J. Kate Stowell, Ph.D. The EOC recommended several changes be made to include the report be in a context where data is clear on what is being compared, and on November 2, 2010 the EOC motioned to have Dr. Stowell finalize the report and to include an executive summary.
On December 6, 2010 the EOC reviewed and accepted final changes to the report on the Socio-economic status of Gainesville's Children, authorized the EO Director to circulate the report to interested partners within the community, and referred this issue back to the City Commission.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) hear a presentation from EO Director Cecil Howard and Dr. J. Kate Stowell; 2) accept the final report as presented and take action deemed appropriate; and 3) remove this item from the referral list.
