For the purpose of this clause, contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated under section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv). Also for the purposes of this clause, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period under plans, funds, or programs, but covering the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period.

Those required to prepare and submit their affirmative action programs in writing are employers having prime or con- tracts of $10,000 or more. Contractors shall be informed early enough to ensure that they not only know exactly what is required of them but also that they have sufficient time to implement the requirements.

PREBID AND PREAWARD CONFERENCES : Conferences should be held sufficiently in advance of the assembly of the work force to permit effective implementation of the objectives of the labor standards provisions. In determining the appro- priate time for the conference, the operating agency should evaluate such factors as the normal lead time between the bidding and the award of the contract; whether the contractor will employ his own work force, or will subcontract; the normal lead time between the awarding of subcontracts and the beginning of work; the type of construction skills needed; the speed with which construction skills can be obtained from nondiscriminatory sources; and the time necessary for advertising, recruitment and selection of employees. cases in which the prime contract is to be awarded through a competitive bidding procedure the conference should be prior to the bidding for the purpose of discussing the labor standards provisions. In all other prime contract, situations the conference should be prfor to the award of the contract.

It is more important that the initial conference be held in advance of the assembly of the work force, as indicated above, than that all potential subcontractors participate in the same conference. 3. ATTENDANCE AT CONFERENCES The City shall participate in all conferences between the operating agencies and its contractors. The Operating Agency shall notify the City of the proposed conference. The City shall notify the citizen participation mechanism and the HUD Regional Office of a proposed conference, so that citizen and HUD representatives may participate, when the conference involves or results from a prime contract for an amount exceeding $10,000. The City official charged with direct responsibility for executing the Program should conduct those conferences which are most critical in terms of potential size of the construction work force, past performance of the contractors involved, or similar factors. The City should request the operating agency to send, as its representatives at the conferences, officials who will have authority to enforce contract terms. Construction contractors and their subcontractors should be represented by officials who will be directly responsible for the selec- tion of the work force and for supervision over construction workers. 4. CONFERENCE AGENDA The City official conducting the conference shall: A. Emphasize the Opportunities for Residents provision of the Supplemental General Conditions (See Appendix 6) which requires affirmative action to ensure residents are given maximum opportunities for employment, training and the awarding of contracts. B. Review the contract provisions pertaining to labor standards and the "Anti-Kickback Act Regulations" to assure that they are fully understood by the prime contractor and all subcontractors. C.

Review the contract provisions pertaining to equal employment opportunity to assure that the requirements are fully understood, and that all hiring practices are in conformance with the contract provisions. The review shall include the following: : 1. Summary of the contractor's obligation (i) to take positive action to assure that his procedures provide for, and his officers and employees practice, nondiscriminatory action in all employment matters, and (ii) to include the equal employment opportunity contract provisions in all subcontracts, except those specifically exempted from the requirements of Executive Order 11246. With respect to Item (1), it is not sufficient for a contractor to assume that there is no discrimination in his organization simply because there have been no formal complaints from applicants or employees. : It is expected that a contractor's affirmative action program will include actions suited to carrying out the prin- ciples listed in Form HUD-907 to show that top management of the company intends to, and will exert positive effort to assure equal opportunity in employment. If hiring is restricted by agreement to members of a union which discriminates, the contractor should make every effort to persuade the union to change its policy. In summarizing and explaining the contract requirements, the City representative should note that Executive Order 11246 requires that the contractor provide equal employment opportunity in all aspects of his employment. Al- though primary emphasis will be given to assuring that the requirements are met on work performed under the federally assisted construction contract, the nondiscrimination clause applics to administrative, supervisory, professional, and clerical personnel as well as direct construc- tion employment under the contract.. 2. Discussion of recruitment sources normally used by the contractor and of any problems anticipated in obtaining a work force from nondiscriminatory employment sources. Discussion of action to be taken with respect to discriminatory sources, including referral to an appropriate Federal, state, or local agency, to resolve such problems. Discussion of alternative sogarces for obtaining skilled workers, including special training programs. Pave I 6/ふり 108 C : 1 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MCCR 3100.8 Appendix 8 3.

It was brought out the new members had not received formal notifications from the City Clerk's Office, as notice was held up pending determination of the length of terms, and expiration dates. HUMAN RELATIONS Charges have been brought against some of the individuals involved in an incident at the Inaugural Parade, and in general. The Chairman of the Human Relations Commission is to call in these individuals hoping to bring about reconciliation without using the Court. Dr. Barclay, Chairman reported a public meeting and an Executive Meeting were held, where the people who brough the objections were allowed to come and be questioned, and then there was a meeting with the policemen. C C 123 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 21, 1971 The Committee is going to give all this information to the Commission Monday evening, and it is hoped that the Commission can bring a report and a recommendation to the Council next Thursday. MR. VOLMA OVERTON reported many people had asked him about the Robinson incident, and it developed Mr. Robinson worked at the Silver Dollar Lounge and was not a guest, but was on duty. This was a matter of misunderstanding by many, and the news media might have confused the issue. Mr. Overton stated another part of his report was that he give further evidence of police brutality, particularly during an incident at the Inaugural Parade. Mayor LaRue called attention to the 72 hour rule imposed upon governing bodies. He stated the Council and the public had been notified that Mr. Overton could be heard today on the subject brought up last week at the Silver Dollar Lounge, and about the Durst family incident. He asked Mr. Overton to prepare his case for next Thursday, and take advantage of the services of the Human Relations Commission. The City Attorney stated the incident occurred within the last 72 hours, and the Council could consider hearing it only by declaring an emergency. The Mayor announced that there would be a meeting Monday evening of the Human Relations Commission, and the Council would have this on the agenda for 9:30 January 28th. In this connection, Councilman MacCorkle stated he would study a long time a Citizens' Appeal Board on which appeals could be taken from the action of the Police, and he would not want the Human Relations Commission to serve as an Appeals Borad, nor did he believe that every case would fall within the scope of the Human Relations Commission. Councilman Janes stated he had not abdicated his responsibility to any appeal board.

With regard to Parcel No. 2-2512-0446, he felt that the rear portion of the property, which was vacant, should not be assessed at the same rate as the used portion with highway frontage. He felt that adjacent properties were assessed at a lower valuation, and that a valuation at 4/5 of properties with highway frontage was too high. Tax Assessor-Collector Jack Klitgaard stated that the property was being treated no differently from adjacent properties. He stated that while the rear portion of the property might have less value than the front portion, the assessment made was on the basis of an average figure which was fair for the entire tract.
