§ 2-9B-18 - PROGRAM REVIEW.

(A) The annual aspirational goals shall be expressed as a cumulative goal for all groups of minority persons and composed of each group of minority persons. The annual aspirational goals shall be based on the availability of MBEs and WBEs in the City's marketplace as required by federal and state laws. Project participation goals and subgoals may be established based on the availability of certified firms to perform the work of the contract. (B) The city council shall receive an annual report from the city manager detailing the City's performance under this chapter, for each department, for the preceding fiscal year. The report shall contain the utilization of MBEs and WBEs based on the audited financial records for the preceding fiscal year and provide the percentages of MBEs and WBEs on the City's list of certified vendors. (C) The city council will review this report and the City's progress towards eliminating discrimination in its contracting activities and marketplace and revise the program as necessary to meet legal and program requirements. As new evidence becomes available to the City, the city council may revise this chapter if necessary. (D) For ease of program administration, solicitations may contain goals and subgoals, if applicable, expressed as round numbers, using mathematical rounding principles.
