MINORITY RECRUITMENT COMMITTEE MEETING <br />AUGUST 7, 1999 <br />Mike The item on the agenda is discussion of additional recruitment <br />methods or resources that may be used to encourage minorities to <br />make application for employment with the City of Paris. This is a <br />meeting that, or a committee that was formed, and I think that the <br />Mayor's intention was to try to get some outside suggestions, or <br />input.

I will ask Gene to review the normal <br />employment process for us, and then I will ask Tommy Haynes to <br />give us an overview of Civil Service employment procedures. <br />Gene For non -Civil Service employees, we are notified by the department <br />that they have a vacancy. A notice is prepared describing the <br />position, what the rate of pay is and so forth, and application for that <br />position can be made through the Texas Workforce Commission. <br />The normal procedure is to go through the Texas Workforce <br />Commission. We will post a piece of paper on the bulletin board, we <br />send copies of that to the all the departments in the city in case <br />current employees might be interested in transferring over. We <br />made that available if they are qualified. We send a notice out the <br />
