RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA REQUESTING SUPPORT OF THE CITIES IN
COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO URGING RETC TO CHANGE ITS
POLICY REGARDING THE HIRING OF ONLY DISADVANTAGED
GROUPS UNDER THIS PROGRAM
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista continues to firmly support
a policy of Equal Opportunity Employment, and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista, as a public employer,
maintains a program of positive recruitment and employment through
its Affirmative Action Policy and Program, and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista has, in good faith,
employed participants under the Comprehensive Employment and Train-
ing Act (CETA) Program in compliance with CETA and RETC guidelines
and goals, and
WHEREAS, the "economically disadvantaged" segment comprises
approxirlately 20% of the labor force, while RETC has imposed a quota
of 50%, and
WHEREAS, the Personnel Department of the City of Chula Vista
has recruited and examined applicants and established eligibility lists
which meet proper CETA requirements pursuant to the Rules and Regulations
established by the Department of Labor, and
4dHEREAS, the imposition of the RETC policy relating to "econom-
ically disadvantaged" will effectively negate those eligible lists, and
hamper this City's ability to fill vacant positions, and
WHEREAS, the RETC Policy Board initiated implementation of
the subject policy without any legal or administrative consultation
with affected Program Agents and Sub-Agents, and without due consid-
eration for specific impact on existing and future contracts with
the State of California and the federal government.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista that in order to promote full employment within
the CETA Program and to continue the Affirmative Action efforts being
realized by the achievement of CETA goals and objectives, the RETC
policy on the exclusive employment of economically disadvantaged be
immediately rescinded, and that while reviewing and establishing
categorical employment goals, RETC make every effort to contact af-
fected agencies for input, consider the achievement of reasonable
percentages within the existing labor force, and emphasize future
objectives through the revision of goals, as opposed to instituting
absolute quotas.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, with the adoption of this resolution,
the Council intends to request the support and concurrence with this
resolution from each of the cities in the County of San Diego.
