MR #09285 – BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – REVISE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
POLICY TO REFLECT VOTER ADOPTION OF PROPOSAL 2 AND TO PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATIO N
BASED UPON SEXUAL ORIENTATION
MR #09285 was originally presented in 2009 and has subsequently been revised by the Human
Resources Department and Commissioners Greimel and Coulter. In 2006 voters of the State of
Michigan approved Proposal 2 which amended the State Constitution to ban affirmative action
programs that grant preferential treatment in the areas of public employment, public education
and public contracting. This resolution reflects these changes in the County’s Policy and expands
the EEO Policy to prohibit discrimination based upon sexual orientation.
Coleman moved the Human Resources Committee Report to the Board with the
recommendation the attached revised resolution and policy be substituted and adopted.
Supported by Capello.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Potter, Gosselin and Hatchett absent.
