SUBJECT KPMG's Findings and
Recommendations for
Disparity Study
Cesar H. Odi HEPERENCES
City Manager ENCLOSORES
Attached for your review and discussion is the Disparity Study
completed by KPMG Peat Marwick (KPMG), analyzing the availability
and utilization of minority/women owned businesses in the City's
procurement process, in light of the Supreme Court's Croson
decision. KPMG reviewed data on City expenditures for a five-
year period, collected economic census data, conducted surveys of
area business enterprises and held public hearings to gather all
information relevant to the study period.
The Executive Summary in section 1 outlines the history of the
City's minority procurement efforts, details the methodology KPMG
used in the study, and records the findings and recommendations.
The results suggest that the City needs to amend the existing
minority/women business procurement program to reflect the
findings in the study. Mr. Aaron Estis of KPMG will appear to
present the findings and recommendations in the study and to
respond to any concerns expressed by the City Commission.
