Recommendation: More emphasis should be placed on the hiring\nof professionals based on actual experience and personal involvement\nin OEO-related activities. The special conditions pertaining to\naccessions, e.g., approval of candidate by selection panels on which\nregional and national OEO are represented (as specified, for example,\nin the STAP grants) should be scrupulously observed.\n5. PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT:\na. Recruitment, Selection, and Hiring:\n(1) Facts:\n(a) Clerical personnel fall under State Civil Service\nrequirements. Positions must be advertised, and applicants are\nselected from those adjudged best qualified by the State Personnel\nBoard.\n(b) Professional personnel are, upon selection by SEOO,\nappointed officially by the DHRD Personnel Section (Management Ser-\nvices Division).\n(2) Recommendation: None.\nb. Pay, Fringe Benefits, Leave, Career Development and Civil\nRights:\n(1) Facts: Clerical personnel, being under State Civil Ser-\nvice, enjoy automatic benefits and protection. The same provisions\nare applied to the exempt Civil Service professionals except job\nprotection. A quasi-career development or career ladder is provided\nby the opportunity to advance if a vacancy occurs from Community\nProgram Analyst to Technical Assistance Specialist or supervisor, or\ntransfer into a STAP slot.\n(2) Recommendation: The possibility of a career ladder plan\nfor professionals should be considered.\nC. Training:\n(1) Facts: Both Sawicki and Hawkins acknowledged the need\nfor additional training, particularly for field personnel, and\n15\nPage 15 -- Paragraph 2 FINDINGS (Charge)\nGiven the actual situation and SEOO philosophy which\nplaces so much emphasis on the evaluation aspects of field\nwork, it is doubtful whether the Community Program Analysts\ncan ever be as helpful to the grantees as OEO Instruction\n7501-1 envisions.\nRESPONSE:\nSEOO does put emphasis on field work because you have to know\nthe problem before you can solve it. Consequently, much of\nthe preliminary work done by SEOO has been to determine what\nthe problems are. During the course of field visits by SEOO\nrepresentatives CAA personnel had expressed great concern over\nsome of the problems confronting them. At this point SEOO\nrepresentatives attempt to find out why the programs are not\nworking, what the problems are and in conjunction with CAA\npersonnel work to rectify the situation. (See attachments)\nSTATE OF CALIFORNIA\nRONALD REAGAN, Governor\nDEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT\nCE OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY\nAPITOL MALL\nMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95814\nSouthern California Office of Economic Opportunity\n1314 Cravens Avenue\nTorrance, California 90501\nOctober 9, 1970\nMrs. Lois Richard\nProject Director\nPasadena Area Head Start\nC\n1367 North Fairoaks Avenue\nPasadena, California\nDear Lois:\nThe review form which came down from the State Director of\nOEO requires some information which I failed to ascertain\nduring our last visit. Please send me as soon as possible\nyour home address, the name and home address of the\nDeputy Project Director, your Fiscal Officer, and other\nkey staff personnel. Also the names and adresses of your\nadvisory board chairman and the names only of your other\nP\nboard directors.\nAlso please include the date your Head Start program was\nformed and your budget history; that is the sources of\nyour funds, i.e., OEO, HEW, State, etc. I also need the\nnumber of professionals involved in your program and the\nY\nnumber of non professionals. Finally, the answer to the\nfollowing question: \"Have any political subdivisions elected\nto opt out of past programs?\" (Green Amendment). Thanks\nin advance for sending this information at your earliest\nconvenience.\nMost sincerely,\nRichard Thies\nPage 15 Para.2\nBob Hawkins\nMarch 31, 1971\nPCHNO\nGil Archuletta\nOn Tuesday, March 30, Herb Brown, Dick Thies, and I met with\nRegional OEO Representatives Cal Williams and Joan Lenihan to\ndiscuss the Pasadena CAP.\nMiss Lenihan told us that PCHNO's letter of credit had been re-\nstored on a month-to-month basis in the maximum amount of $42,000\nper month. She indicated that the CAP had satisfactorily answered\nall of the 14 charges Regional had brought against them. She fur-\nther stated that most of the 14 points were the result of defec-\ntive internal systems. She said that PCHNO would be in good shape\nif they retain their new systems. At one point, she told us that\nsome of the points were a result of imprudent actions on the part\nof the Executive Director and that he is now acting more cautiously.\nRegional has presented PCHNO with a special condition for Program\nYear E, which requires them to reduce their board membership from\n40 to 21. They must submit their plan for reduction by June 1,\n1971.\nWe indicated to Miss Lenihan and Mr. Williams that we wished to\naid the CAP in many ways, but were hampered by their refusal to\ncooperate with our CPA. They agreed it was a bad situation, and\nin turn, have set up a meeting with SEOO, WROEO, the Executive\nDirector of PCHNO, and Board Chairman of PCHNO, for Monday,\nApril 5. At this meeting we hope to gain full access to the\nCAP, its personnel and records.\nWe will make an indepth evaluation of PCHNO, and either clean\nit up or shut it down.\nGA:js\nPage 15 15\nParagraph 2\nPage 15\nCharge:\n\"b. Findings:\n(2)\nGiven the actual situation and SEOO\nphilosophy which places so much emphasis on the evaluation\naspects of field work, it is doubtful whether the Community\nProgram Analysts can ever be as helpful to the grantees\nas OEO Instruction 7501-1 envisions.\"\nResponse:\nComments concerning the SEOO philosophy and the lack\nof effectiveness of Community Program Analysts in the\nlong term, here again we are faced with the closed-\nmindedness of our federal evaluators. First, the\nfederal evaluators failed to specify just what the\nSEOO philosophy is. In a nut shell, our philosophy\nis that OEO monies should go toward producing inde-\npendent behavior on the part of those individuals\nreceiving monies from OEO. It is obvious to date\nthat this has not transpired; and our evaluations\nattempt to demonstrate how these programs have failed\nto help the truly needy in our society. The under-\nlying federal assumption here is that there is some\nefficacy in throwing good money down a worn out\nphilosophical hole.\nPage 15--c. Recommendation (Charge)\n\"The special conditions pertaining to accessions, e.g. approval\nof candidate by selection panels on which regional and national\nOEO are represented (as specified, for example, in the STAP\ngrants) should be scrupulously observed.\"\nResponse:\nCalifornia SEOO admits that it did not adhere to the\nselection panel choosing STAP personnel; however, it should be\nemphasized that, even with a STAP panel, cases of nepotism and\nfavoritism have shown up. An example is that the Management\nSpecialist chosen by the panel happened to be a personal friend\nof one of the panel members and did not possess a degree in\nmanagement. Furthermore, the gathering of a panel and the process\nof recruitment, selection, and hiring is extremely time-consuming\nand expensive; again, it is possible that the work program may\nsuffer as a result of this long process.\nPage 15--5 b. Pay, Fringe Benefits, etc. (Charge)\n\"The possibility of a career ladder plan for professionals\nshould be considered.\"\nResponse:\nThe recommendation calls for the establishment of a\ncareer ladder plan. A glance at the present and proposed table\nof organization shows that there are methods by which people\ncan be promoted as vacancies occur, and, in fact, this has\nalready taken place. Another management observation is that,\nwith the small staff of professionals that we have, vacancies\ndo not occur frequently. Funding guidelines further restrict\ncareer ladders that have numerical compensation commensurate\nwith added responsibility and authority.\nstated interest in participating in Federal training conferences,\nseminars, etc.\n(2) Recommendation: The Region should provide the SEOO with\na schedule of training activities and encourage SEOO participation.\nThe SECO should take fullest possible advantage of Federal and other\ntraining opportunities.\nd. Supervision and Evaluation:\n(1) Facts: Clerical personnel in the office work under\ndirect supervision. State Civil Service annual evaluation require-\nments appear to be fulfilled. Field personnel have definite assign-\nments (see Attachments). An itinerary of field trips is filed with\nthe supervisor for one month in advance (this procedure was initiated\nin February, 1971). Trip reports are on a new form (since January)\nmade for each trip; however, they are held by the Community Program\nAnalyst or the Technical Assistance Specialist until the end of the\nmonth when an activity report is prepared (see Attachments). Field\npersonnel are on the \"honor\" system; two work out of their homes.\nThere is no formal evaluation of professionals. They are judged by\nthe results of their labor.\n(2) Findings: The SEOO has made an effort to provide better\nand clearer instructions to field personnel by designing check lists\nfor evaluation (see attachments) of Legal Services and CAA compliance.\nThey have also designed a form entitled \"Information Package Review\"\nwhich the Community Program Analysts are responsible for completing\nand updating. This form is kept in the grant folder (see Attach-\nments) Some monthly reports of field personnel for January were\nmade available to the evaluation team. Some field reports were con-\nsidered CONFIDENTIAL in order to protect information sources and were\nnot, therefore, made available to the evaluation team. Due to high\nworkloads during December and January, reports for this period have\nnot yet been prepared. A single report, covering December, January,\nand February is now under preparation.\n(3) Recommendation: Field personnel should be required to\nfile trip reports with their supervisors immediately upon returning\nfrom a field trip rather than at the end of the month. These re-\nports should indicate the actual time spent and the exact subjects\ndiscussed with each grantee or person visited.\n6. CIVIL RIGHTS:\na. Facts:\n(1) Of the professional staff (those exempt from Civil Ser-\nvice) 23 are listed as Caucasian, one as Eurasian, two as Mexican-\nAmerican, and three as Negro. Of the staff covered by Civil Service\n16\nPage 16 -- Paragraph 5 d. (2) FINDINGS (Charge)\nSome monthly reports of field personnel for January were\nmade available to the evaluation team.\nDue to high\nworkloads during December and January, reports for this period\nhave not yet been prepared. A single report, covering December,\nJanuary, and February is now under preparation.\nRESPONSE:\nSouthern California Administrative Assistant requires a weekly\nreport of activity from all field personnel. In additon, regular\nweekly staff meetings are held so that all field personnel is\naware of the activities of the entire staff and can work in\nconcert to solve any problems. The results of these staff\nmeetings and weekly reports are then relayed to Sacramento on\na regular basis. Field representatives generally concern them-\nselves more with on-site assistance rather than the formality\nof preparing reports.\nPage 16\nCharge:\n\"d. Supervision and Evaluation (1) facts:\nField per-\nsonnel are on the \"honor\" system; two work out of their\nhomes. There is no formal evaluation of professionals.\nThey are judged by the results of their labor.\"\nResponse:\nThe federal field representatives are stating that\nwe should not trust our professionals because of an\nhonor system. I fail to understand the complaint.\nFurthermore, just because there is no formal, static,\nbureaucratic checklist on which we evaluate our pro-\nfessionals, this does not mean that our professionals\nare not evaluated. Our professionals are constantly\nbeing evaluated by their supervisors as to the quality\nof their work. It is the feeling of the State Office\nof Economic Opportunity that the personal interaction\nof supervisor and professional brings about the best\nresults in the long run. Personnel policies, based\nupon personal knowledge and experience are much better\nthan the formalistic and static requirements of some\nso-called \"objective\" evaluation dreamed up by\nbureaucrats and administered to other bureaucrats.\nAgain the idiocy of our federal evaluators is demon-\nstrated when they state, concerning professionals\n\"they are judged by the results of their labor;\" our\nonly response to this state is, how else does one\njudge a person, except by the results of their labor?\nCharge:\n\"d. Supervision and evaluation (2) findings\nSome monthly\nreports of field personnel for January were made available\nto the evaluation team\nDue to high workloads during\nDecember and January, reports for this period have not yet\nbeen prepared. A single report, covering December, January,\nand February is now under preparation.\"\nResponse:\nThe report for December, January, and February is now\ncompleted.\nPage 16 Charge:\n\"d. Supervision and evaluation (3) recommendation: Field\npersonnel should be required to file trip reports with their\nsupervisors immediately upon returning from a field trip\nrather than at the end of the month. These reports should\nindicate the actual time spent and the exact subjects\ndiscussed with each grantee or person visited. \"\nResponse:\nIt is impractical, given the size of our office to\nassume that our field people should be required to\nfile reports after each trip. Again the bureaucratic\nmind is at work, degrading the competence of the pro-\nfessional.\n13 are listed as Caucasian, and one as Negro. Therefore, the total\nstaff breakdown is:\nCaucasians\n36\nNegroes\n4\nMexican-American\n2\nEurasian\n1\n(2) No affirmative action plan as required by CAP Form 11\nhas been implemented.\nb. Recommendation: An affirmative action plan in accordance\nwith CAP Form 11 should be implemented. Attention should be given\nto whether the minority composition of the staff fairly reflects\nthe proportions of minority persons in the State of California and,\nparticularly, among the poverty population of the State.\n7. ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE:\na. Facts: These activities are handled by the Fiscal Section\nof the Management Services Division. They prepare the monthly CAP\n15s for Mr. Uhler's signature.\nb. Findings: Internal controls have been set up. Leonard\nDowns keeps tabs on expenditures and Miss Pearson checks travel\nvouchers, mileage claims, etc., against the activity reports of the\nindividual concerned. Downs checks CAP 15s as prepared by DHRD\nagainst his records, and initials them before sending them to the\nSEOO Director for signature. Downs is also preparing the budget\nfor the next year. In absence of a funding guidance he is using\nthe present budget as a starting point.\nC. Recommendation: None.\n8. FILES:\na. Facts: Files inherited from the previous SEOO staff (pre-\nJuly 1, 1970) were very inadequate. Subject headings were used for\nfiling, and there was no cross-referencing. Downs requested help\nfrom General Services, who trained his file clerk to set up a\nduo-decimal system. Most of the files have been integrated into\nthe new system. There is a chronological reading file maintained\nby the SEOO's secretary for all correspondence emanating from the\nentire office. There is a complete set of OEO instructions and\nCAP directives which was recently received from OEO Headquarters.\nThere is a library of publications, which is in a state of disarray.\nb. Recommendation: Memoranda for record should be added to cor-\nrespondence in the chronological reading file to explain the nature of\ncorrespondence. The library should be inventoried, obsolete material\ndiscarded, and obsolete files retired or destroyed.\n17\nPage 17--6 a. CIVIL RIGHTS--Facts (Charge)\n\"No affirmative action plan as required by CAP Form 11 has been\nimplemented.\"\nResponse:\nIt was stated to the evaluators emphatically that the grant,\nalthough earmarked for SEOO, is made directly to the State of\nCalifornia and that, while the earmarking exists, funds are inter-\nmingled with the General Fund of the entire State. It is assumed\nthat an affirmative action plan is being followed by all of the\nemployees of the entire State of California, and it is almost\nan impossibility to divorce a small section, such as the SEOO,\nfrom the rest of the plan in force throughout the State of Calif-\nornia.\nPage 17--6 b. CIVIL RIGHTS--Recommendation (Charge)\n\"An affirmative action plan in accordance with CAP Form 11\nshould be implemented. Attention should be given to whether\nthe minority composition of the staff fairly reflects the\nproportions of minority persons in the State of California and,\nparticularly, among the poverty population of the State.\"\nResponse:\nThe ethnic breakdown of the SEOO does not show a wide\nvariation from the proportion of minority persons within the\nState, and this was reiterated to the evaluators. For example,\nout of 43 positions, 4 persons are from the Black community,\nrepresenting roughly 10 percent--almost equal to the Black\npopulation in the State.\nPage 17--8. a. FILES--Facts (Charge)\n\" There is a complete set of OEO instructions and CAP\ndirectives which was recently received from OEO Headquarters.\nThere is a library of publications, which is in a state of\ndisarray.\"\nRESPONSE:\nOne of the file clerk's first duties after beginning employ-\nment with SEOO in November 1970, was to assemble, from various\nsources (other than OEO Headquarters) a set of CAP memos and OEO\ninstructions which include SFR instructions, staff notices, etc.\nWe are not aware of a complete set of instructions received from\nOEO Headquarters. These books are maintained on a current basis\nby the file clerk. The implication that there was no work in-\nvolved in securing the above-mentioned directives is demoralizing,\nto say the least.\nThe publications for distribution are labelled and were\ndisplayed in an orderly fashion in the library at the time of\nthe evaluation, having been labelled and shelved the first\nweek of December, 1970, by the secretary to the Staff Assistant\nfor Planning.\nPage 17--8.b. FILES--Recommendations (Charge)\n\"Memoranda for record should be added to correspondence in the\nchronological reading file to explain the nature of correspondence.\nThe library should be inventoried, obsolete material discarded,\nand obsolete files retired or destroyed.\"\nRESPONSE:\nThe library is in the process of being inventoried and should\nbe completed by the middle of May. Our library is used as reference\nmaterial, therefore the old material will not be discarded. Sug-\ngestions for organizing the library have been taken from the publi-\ncation, \"Technical Libraries, Their Organization and Management\",\nissued by Special Libraries Association in New York.\nObsolete files have been packed and are in the process of\nbeing sent to the State Records Center. This involves working\nweek-ends due to other duties required during regular working\nhours.\n9. OTHER FILES:\na. Personnel Folders:\n(1) Facts:\n(a) The SEOO maintains a convenience file of Personnel\nFolders; the official files are kept by the DHRD Personnel Section\nand State Personnel Board (computerized file of all State employees).\n(b) The convenience files are not uniform in content;\nsome contain job applications or resumes; most hold transcripts of\ndriving records and social security information on previous employ-\nment (used to check salary statements). Regarding driving records,\nthe SEOO has requested pertinent State offices (State Police and\nMotor Vehicle Bureau) to notify the office of all driving violations\ncommitted by SEOO personnel. None of the six files chosen at random\ncontained a position description.\n(2) Recommendation: All personnel files should contain\nresumes of qualifications as well as position description for which\nemployee is hired. Folders should also contain name, address, and\ntelephone number of persons to be notified in case of emergency,\nand home telephone numbers should be prominently displayed for emer-\ngency contact of employee. Further, CAP Memo 23A requires that\nbiographies of key personnel be submitted to the Regional Office\nwithin seven days after appointment.\nb. Telephone Message File:\n(1) Facts: Telephone message pads are provided with carbon,\nSO that messages are automatically made out in duplicate, the orig-\ninal going to the addressee and the copy remaining with the secretary.\n(2) Recommendation: None.\nC. Newspaper Clipping File:\n(1) Facts: A contract is let through State procurement\nchannels for a newspaper clipping service. Clippings are received\ndaily; office personnel fasten them to letter-sized backings, and\nfile them in a Pendaflex-type hanging file. The file is used for\nbackground information on individual grantees or subjects of OEO\nconcern and to keep SEOO personnel advised of latest developments.\nCost of clipping service varies with volume, but averages $250.00\nper month according to the Budget Officer. In an attempt to lower\ncosts, requirements for Headstart information were eliminated last\nDecember; increased publicity on CRLA and Oakland during the last\nfew months have kept costs at relatively the same levels despite\ndropping the Headstart requirement. Downs hopes, however, that now\n18"
