 Going Forward
Council Oversight & Affirmative Action
     Our commitment to: a diverse workforce representing the Township’s population; affirmative action in promoting, contracting and purchasing; and a progressive, welcoming atmosphere, will guide our work with the Township Manager in implementing our affirmative action ordinances and policies. Building on this commitment, we can strengthen our workforce by continuing to increase hiring, contracting, and purchasing opportunities for women and minority-owned firms. And, while Montclair is undergoing an explosion in construction and new development, we must make this a top priority not to lose a valuable opportunity and to give true meaning to the words in our affirmative action policies. We will also continue to create new volunteer committees to help us plan, adopt and implement important initiatives, enter into new contracts with local partners, amend ordinances and adopt new policies that improve our law enforcement efforts.


Goals for 2005

  • Enforce our affirmative action policies with contractors and vendors
  • With Township staff and our Civil Rights Commission, review Montclair’s Affirmative Action Plan and adopt appropriate changes and new goals
  • Develop training programs for major contractors on our policies
  • Work to create “parity” in educational requirements for promotion to senior positions in our uniformed services
  • Develop and implement a more effective evaluation process for those who directly report to the Township Council
  • Review and adopt a Management Staffing plan including compensation
  • Establish key objectives for the negotiation of new contracts with our labor unions
  • Establish and appoint members of the Shared Services, Public Events, Capital Finance, Communications, & Facilities Committees and Human Services Council
  • Review Early Childhood Council recommendations for pre-K enhancements
  • Consider adoption of an ordinance that would allow the Municipal Court to impose community service for sentencing and hold adults financially responsible for repeat acts of vandalism by their children
