Motion carried unanimously, It was moved by Alderman Cross, seconded by Alderman GarFison, to adopt Appropriation Ordinance No. 74-1585~ from the Revenue Sharing Account 427.in the AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN July 1, 1974 O~ March 12, 1972, the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of.1972 became law. According to this law, coverage of Title VII of the Civil Rights ~ct of 1964 has been extended to include all s~ate, local, and political subdivisions. Title.VII makes it unlawful to discriminate in employment because of race, sex, religion, color, or natural o~igin. It is no longer acceptable to use "an Equal Opportunity Employer" as proof of nondiscrimination, a more c6mprehensive and clearly defined method must be developed in order that fair, objective, and equitable employment standards are achieved and maintained. "Affirmative Actio~ Plan" is that mechanis~ which will achieve compliance with th'e laws necessary to break the chains of prejudice. Let there be no misconceptions~ Affirmative Action is a compli- cated concept which will require a deliberate and consistent Objective approach on the part of each and every employee. Yours truly, Marshall Pharr City Manager MP:lf I. AFFIP~[ATIVE ACTION POLICY A. General pOlicy Statement The Mayor and City Council of the City of Plainview is committed to the concept of equal opportunity employ- ment as a necessary and basic element of fair, objective, and-equitable employment. It is the'intent of the City of Plainview to be a complete equal opPortunity institution in all phases of its operation. These commitments will be supported by positive, practical efforts to insure equal employment opportunity for the racial minority and employ- ment disadvantaged in both securing City employment and in promotional opportunities at all job levels. These above standards will materialize as a result of an Affirmative Action Plan. B. General Objectiyes of the Plan 1. To establish and maintain employment levels within the organization for the economic, cultural, and social disadvantaged in proportions equal to levels in the total communi~ty population. ! 2. To distribute this employment proportionately through- out job classes in City source. To make continuous effort to eliminate and prevent occurrences of arbitrary discriminatory practice relating to employment or access to promotion within City of Plainview government? C. General Means of the Plan To appoint an Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Committee and Equal Employment Opportunity Coordinator. The EEO Coordinator will be an individual from the City of Plainview's supervisory or managerial staff as selected by the City Manager and/or the EEO Advisory Committee. e To provide an environment conducive to equ~al employment. This responsibility shall be with the EEO Coordinator. Me or.she will use staffing meetings, city council meetings, civic clubs, minority oriented organizations, employee Orientation, and various other means as the process of public and internal exposure of affirmative action.

II e - JOB RESTRUCTURING Because a substantial per~entage of minority populations are disadvantaged in terms of education and experience, all occu- pations should be studied with the objective of making it feasible to bring in people with less than the normally required qualifications and to train them on the job. This may involve (1) creating one or more trainee levels below the usual entry level; (2) revising the other classes in the occupational series; (3) developing on-the-job training pro- grams; (4) designing coordinated educational programs; and (5) providing for advancement through satisfactory completion of specific training and educational increments. III. CLASSIFICATION REVIEW Imaginative and innovative approaches to' classificatiOn develop- ment should be established and use with regard to equal employ- ment. As these new approaches are di~scovered and studied by supervisors and directors up the chain of command, various possibilities will suggest themselves. Among these possibilities will be restructuring jobs or reclassifications so that training classes can be established and work done without too much loss of productive efficiency. IV. EXAMINATION & SELE. CTION PROCEDURES Ao Employment Process In keeping with recent Supreme Court decisions, State and Federal laws, regulations and guidelines, examination and select~on procedures should be re-examined for all classifications. Departments should take an active part in all phases and can, appropriately, make recommendations for changes. From the initial contact with applicants to the final interview for appointment, the department and administration must make certain that what they are doing: Realistically and directly relates to the actual duties to be performed on the job. e Measures the person for the job--not the person in the abstract. 3. Is not arbitrary. Does not have the effect of blocking minorities and women from emptos~nent. B. Probationary Period The same must be said concerning the probationary period since this is considered to be part of the examination process. Performance appraisals must be made in a timely manner with as much objectivity as possible. Supervisors and managers should be made aware that this is a very important part of their responsibility and that neglect in this area would be cause for very serious criticism. Departments not already doing so would be wei1 advised to establish central controls on perfor- mance rating to assure both timeliness and quality of perfor- mance by raters. C. Selective Certification Based on Special Cultural Needs With approve! of the EEO Committee, special selection procedures may be used to employ people with bi-cultural, bi-lingual backgrounds for positions providing direct services to minority clientele. CAUTION: Selective Certification is not to be used as a .sub- stitute for improvements in recruitment, examination, selection, job restructuring, and training procedures. Maximum efforts should be made in all of these areas on a continuous basis. RECRUITMENT Their long history of being unfairly discriminated against in the employment market makes some minority people wary of apply- ing for City jobs. "There are other factors too, such as: A. Lack of.transportation to get to employment office. Lack of information about job openings. Fear 6~iL.approaching the bureaucracy. 'D. Fear of being turned down again. E. Fear of written examinations. F. Fear of self-confidence. G. Lack of trust'in the employer's sincerity. For these and other reasons, it is essential that the City reach out to'the minority communities. The departments can do much to supplement and assist the efforts of the City personnel office in recruiting minority job applicants. Some of the following may be useful to you. iA. Word of mouth advertising. Ask employees to spread the word that minority applicants are welcome. Ask them to talk to friends, neighbors, relatives, etc. Contact minority group leaders and organizations, offer to visit them and tell them about your department's work, job vacancies, etc. All~!evels of supervisors can be involved in this kind of contact work. Form a speakers bureau. Solicit engagements. Advertise in minority newspapers. Ha.ye special "open house" programs for minority communi- ties, Show your facilities - explain the work of the department - how it benefits the conur~unity - describe their stake in it as citizens and~taxpayers. Dispel the myths concerning your particular part of the "establishment". VI. TRAINING A. What Will Be Done? Training programs will be accelerated to provide impetus to upward mobility and job improvement aspirations of ~the City for the employment dis- advantaged. The thrust will be to provide pro- motional preparation for employees and enhance opportunity for employment among the employment disadvantaged. Employment development training efforts will-be correlated with the job structure. Training pro- grams will provide preparation for defined groups of tasks~up the career ladder in any given occupa- tional field. Optimum effort to promote'and encourage training for City work force will be made. This effort will be accompanied by like effort in communicating affirma- tive action training programs available to employees, the valu~ and intent of those programs and their relevance to those from employment disadvantaged back- grounds. e Training programs will be designed and reinforced to avoid built-in failure. VII. TEST VALIDATION Any pre-employment or promotion examination used by the City will be studied and revised if ~ecessary to insure that all examinations are job related. This~.._~.={=~I.=_.~ almost obsc6re statement in the Affirmative Action Progra:~ reeresents the most important, most complex and probably the most expensive component of the entire Affirmative Action Program. There is much about test validation 'which can be said to explain all of its intricacies. -However, 'the primary purpose of vali- dating exams is to assure that they will accurately predict one's performance on the job ahd that they are culturally fair. VIII. SCHEDULED I.~PLE~.LENTATION OF AFFIP~ATI\PE ACTION PLaN A. Beginning 7-1-74 and within 90 days: The establishment of a Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Committee.

Beginning 1-1-75 and within 90 days: Each department head Will be responsibile for preparation of statistical data with reg.ard to his or her respective department and a plan for equal emp!oymen~. This plan can consist of mere informal or formal recommendations to A.A.O. and Committee. D. Effectiv~ '7,1-'75: The A.A.O. shall be prepared to implement external dissemi- nation of the plan. The final plan of action shall be complete with statistical updates if any changes have Occurred and any changes whic.h will-enhance the effectiveness of said plan. This is the annual'time of the year when program evaluations and revisions-will occur. E. Beginning 7-1-75 and within 90 days: External dissemination of the'plan will occur. This'will 'involve "open-house" programs, contacts with minority group leaders and organizations, and any other effective and practical means of public exposures. F. ~y 7-1-76 and each subsequent year: The target employment figures will'be reduced 25%. That is to say that by July 1, 1979, that parity will be achieved contingent on four years of 25% achievement of the goals set forth.
