Prior to the vote, Mr. Bott stated that the agreement for services would not be offered by the consultant unless entered into by five cities; that the cities of Seal Beach and Foun- tain Valley have already approved participation; that the City of Santa Aha is most vulnerable to attack in the areas of public safety; that the services would provide what the Staff feels would be defensible Affirmative Action positions to 15 promotional and entry level public safety positions; and that the Second Generation Affirmative Action Plans for the public sector are new and involve a high complexity of knowledge in the Equal Employment Opportunity -(EEO) field for compliance. Zeke Nernandez, 317-1/2 Normandy Place, stated that he felt that there were other firms qualified to perform the validation services. Deputy City Attorney Robert Sangster recommended that the matter be referred back to Staff. Councilmen Bricken and Ward expressed concern that the $40,000 expenditure for such services was not the result of competi- tive bids, and that the agreement included no guarantee of defensibility of the validation in Court. Councilman Ward expressed his preference to use the money to train the City's personnel staff to administer the City's programs in accordance with the federal guidelines recently published.
