Proposed Ordinance to

Consent Decree Administration
REFERENCES:
ENCLOSURES
The City of Miami currently is functioning under the legal requirements of
two Consent Decrees: (1) The Cohen Consent Decree, which deals with the
development of Police Department entrance and promotional examinations; and
(2) the United States Justice Department Consent Decree, which entails equal
opportunity placement in all City of Miami departments.
The Cohen Consent Decree required the City to appoint an independent orga-
nization to prepare, monitor, score, and validate entrance and promotional
examinations for the Police Department. A three-year requirement for the
preparation, monitoring, and scoring was satisfied as of December 2, 1977.
The Department of Human Resources now plans to assume those functions, which
must continue to be performed, using City Personnel, at a much lower cost to
the City.
In addition, significant work is needed to fulfill the United States Justice
Department Consent Decree, particularly with regard to validation of entrance
and promotional examinations for all City Departments. Added resources are
needed in the Department of Hunan Resources to perform those tasks.
Using CETA funds, the Human Resources Department can acquire the resources
necessary to comply with both Consent Decrees during the remainder of fiscal
year 1977-78 with a supplement of $23,638 to that Department's current
General Fund appropriation.That amount is available in the General Fund's
Contingent Fund.
The attached proposed ordinance would provide for the transfer of $23,638
from the Contingent Fund to the Department of. Human Resources General Fund
budget.
