I request that the City Council give serious and immediate considera-�
tien to the use of "the administrative ordinance procedures" in filling
po��.tions with the City. I believe that the procedure has been, and
cox�tinues to be, a mechanism whereby minorities are excluded from the
"professional group°� in City government.
With regarc3. to the general difficulties minorities have with
respect to employment opportunities, the provision in City Council
File No. 251683 is especially disturbing. The provision reads as
follows: �'An e�zployee hired. under the title of Assistant Safety
Coerdinator shall be appointed from vrganiZed labor". I believe that
the provision is highly restrictive with regard to minorities and it
would be extremely difficult to convince mi.norities that they do in
fact have equal access to �ob opportunities in City government.
Th� tqpical. argvment has been that "we can't find qualified
minorities", Here the Council has created a position that carries
no qualifications. The point is that positions can be created for
ethers but oomparabYe efforts are not made where minorities and women
are involved.

I request tl�,t the City Council give serious and immediate considera-»
tion to the use of "the administra.tive ordinance procedures" in filling

continue� to be, Q mechanism whereby minorities are excluded from the
"proiessional group°1 in City government.
With regard to the general difficulties minorities have with
respect to employment opportunities, the provision in City Council
File No. 251683 is especially disturbing. The provision reads as
�ollows: "An employee hired under the title o� Assistant Safety
Coerdinator $hall be appointed from organized labor". I believe that
the prevision is highly restrictive with regard to minorities and it
would be extremely difficult to convince minorities that they do in
fact have equal access to �ob opportunities in City government.
The tqpical argvment has been that "we can't find qualified
