IN RE: AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
;W. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The purpose of this Equal Employment Opportunity Affirmative Action Program
resolution is to commit the County of Oakland, as an employer, to the eventual goal of -
having the number of women and minorities in Its employ in each classification and depart-
ment, at least equal to their representation in the available work force in the County.
As spelled out in Section I of the Oakland County Merit System Resolution, -
approved by the Voters of Oakland County, November 8, 1966, "The selection, pay,
advancement and treatment of County employees shall be based solely on Merit without
reference to their political affiliation, religious belief, racial origin or sex."
This resolution, in keeping with the guidelines of the Federal Equal Employment .
Opportunity Commission and current statutes and Court decisions, directs and binds all
County officials, department heads and employees, and especially those involved in the
recruitment, selection, appointment, training, supervision and advancement of employees,
to positively and affirmatively carr y out these personnel related actions in such manner as to
bring about the above mentioned goal as quickly and as completely as possible.
The Affirmative Action Program shall include but not be limited to:
A quarterly prepared and publicly available inventory of the utilization of
women and minorities in each classification and each department of County
Government.
2. A continuing and publicly available record, categorized by sex and race,
of all applicants recruited and processed through the County's selection and
appointment steps including the number succeeding and failing at each step
and showing the reasons for such failure or lack of appointment.
3. A continuing and publicly available record, categorized by sex and race, of
all employees promoted, transferred, demoted, disciplined and terminated.
4. A continuing program of advertising all County recruitment activities and
examinations in news media with a likely audience which will include women
and minorities and the distribution of such information and material to female
and minority organizations in the County.
5. A continuing review of minimum qualifications required in class specifications
and examination announcements to insure their necessity, reasonableness and
practicality and that they are job related and not artificial barriers to the
employment of women or minorities.
6. A continuing program of reviewing and validating the job relatedness and
cultural fairness of examination content, methodology and administration.
7. A continuing program of training present employees for future upgrading and
of job development to increase employment opportunities for the disadvantaged.

and employee attitudes toward the increased utilization of women and
