The update of the 1999 plan has paralleled the diversity work currently being done by each City department. Many department sections include information on their diversity efforts and recruitment strategies identified by department diversity committees. The general section of the plan includes the organization-wide plan for diversity. Although the diversity information is included in the plan, affirmative action aimed at under-represented positions is still the primary purpose of the plan. The document has been distributed to City managers, supervisors, and diversity committee members, Human Rights Commission members, and key community members.
Additional copies are available upon request.
The annual Affirmative Action Plan presentation by HRRS staff to the Human Rights Commission is scheduled for the April meeting. A memo will be sent to all employees letting them know the plan has been updated and a current copy of the Anti-Harassment Policy and the City's Affirmative Action Policy will be attached. For more information or for a copy of the plan, contact Melissa Pearson, Recruitment and Selection Manager, at 682-5783. Roseburg Resources Co. is donating 250 Douglas fir trees, and a company representative will be on handSaturday morning to instruct volunteers on proper planting techniques. Members of the Native Plant Society have been working with City staff to mark locations for the tree and fern plantings, and the City inmate work crew has cut and cleared large amounts of invasive blackberry to prepare for the plantings.
