Revenue sharing vs affirnative action activities of contractors - Sprhqtdll
Conference - League of Mirnesota Hunan Rights @nn-issions.
Hc[^, are revenue sharing rrcnies expended? Do t}te agencies that enter into contracts
with our cities neet 1AA goals. Federat arrf state agercies stress key role of
hunan rights ccrrcn-issions \^Du-l-d be to evaluate the AA efforts of the contractors
bidding for city jobs; advise the City Cor:rrcil- about r,vhat efforts have been rnade
touard meeting federal AA goals.

Our AA contractor questionnaires are not evaluated. T}re form is attached to
each bid receivred by the city but no attsq)t is made to link decisi-on to accept
or reject bid on the strength of inforrnation divulged.
Jo Anne G)ristensen will be invited to our next neeting to report on AA program
ard errah:ation of bids. When tte AA program lras set up such a report !,,as
suggested once a year.
There is an intership program at U of M on AA. Fwds are avail-able to pay such
an iltern. It is hoped that the interns role lrcu.J.d beccrrE so basic to the citlz
that the position r.rould be retained at city expense. Eric will check this out
for us.
