City of Brea*

Municipalities in Orange County cities are well-versed in EEO issues and maintain exemplary compliance strategies. Response to Finding 1: We are unable to comment on this finding as we have no firsthand knowledge of how well-versed the other 32 municipalities are in this area.

Complaint ratios between OC cities and the County of Orange are similar; but differences in how previous complaints were handled in the County led to major problems. Response to Finding 4: We are unable to comment on this finding as we have no firsthand knowledge of complaint ratios of the other 32 municipalities and/or the County of Orange.

The County and several cities do not offer, or provide limited, training in harassment, discrimination, and retaliation, particularly for line staff. At this time, although line staff training is not required, all staff benefit from EEO training. Response to Finding 5: We are unable to comment on this finding as we are not aware of any study to verify this and have not done an internal assessment as to what, if any, potential benefits may arise from line level staff training.
