[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Camden 8-28-1980 by Ord. No.
MC-1650; amended in its entirety 6-23-1983 by Ord. No.
MC-1964[1] (Ch. 12 of the 1987 Code). Subsequent amendments noted
where applicable.]
[1]
Editor's Note: Ordinance No. MC-1964 contained the following
findings in its preface:
"1. The City Council of the City of Camden recognizes its
legal and moral obligation to promote and preserve the economic well-being
of all citizens of the City of Camden; and
"2. The City Council of the City of Camden, in viewing the
present economic conditions which confront minority citizens within
the City of Camden, and said minority citizens make up a significant
portion of the population of the City of Camden; and
"3. The present economic conditions nationwide do affect,
in an adverse fashion, the economic well-being and status of minority
citizens of the City of Camden in such a way as to elevate the amount
of unemployment within the City of Camden above the levels that exist
county-wide and statewide; and
"4. The City Council of the City of Camden has been informed
that unemployment statewide is 8.1% and county-wide is 7.6%. The unemployment
figures for the City of Camden, as given to the City Council by the
Department of Labor of the United States, are 11.5%. However, at the
last figures recorded by the State of New Jersey Department of Labor,
Affirmative Action Office, unemployment among Black Americans was
18.4% and unemployment among Hispanic-Americans was 15.6%. The latter
figures as to Black and Hispanic unemployment were as of the end of
1977, and the Department of Labor has informed the City Council of
the City of Camden that these particular figures have increased significantly,
making the problem of unemployment even more grave than that which
existed when the figures where compiled; and
"5. The City Council of the City of Camden, by the adoption
of an Affirmative Action Program, seeks to relieve the problem of
unemployment among its residents and citizens and seeks to promote
the growth of minority involvement in construction and obtaining contracts
for minority-owned business; and
"6. The City of Camden, in concert with the State of New Jersey
and the Federal Government, supports the concept of seeking to grant
a definite portion of all construction-trade-related contracts and
jobs, funded by local, state and/or federal moneys, to minority contractors
and employees; and
"WHEREAS the current unemployment figure for the City of Camden,
as reported by the New Jersey Department of Labor, is 19.1%;"
