BRIEF HISTORY Brazos County, is a Political Subdivision of the State of Texas, created out of the Counties of Washington and Robertson by the Congress of the Republic of Texas in 1841. The original county seat was at Booneville, until a vote of it's citizens moved the county seat to Bryan on October 15, 1867. Booneville was,about three miles east of Bryan (near the present Brazos County Park), but the location of the railroad through Bryan in 1361 resulted in the change. Brazos County has been the home of Texas A&M University since it opened on October 4, 1676. The University is the primary stimulus for the economy of the County, having grown to. a student enrollment in'excess of 25,000. The Texas Agricultural Extension Service and Texas Engineering Extension Service tarry influence if AM into eery County in Texas. The cities of Bryan and College Station are the only incorporated cities in Brazos County. Together, they have been designated a Standard iletropolitan Statistical Area by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The 1970 population of Brazos County was 56,096. Brazos County is governed by a Commissioners Court consisting of the ; County Judge elected county-wide and four C=rnissioners elected from Geographic Precincts. In Texas, Counties operate within the limits of state law, possessing very limited ordinance making powers. ~ , The Trade Area around Brazos County consists of the counties of Leon, Robertson, Madison, Grimes, Washington, and Burleson. These Counties, together with Brazos County, comprise the Brazos Valley Development Council Region, a State Planning Region and Economic Development District. 1 4 1•li 11 i et i R.

AVAILABILITY OF.SKILLED MINORITY GROUP PERSONS The County of Brazos' has no, training facilities at present for, preparing-prospective erlployees in the skilled and semi-skilled trade except for the facilities at Bryan and AM Consolidated High Schools. A comparatively small number of minority residents of the county are presently qualified to apply for the skilled and semi-skilled positions, though they make up a significant labor resource for the unskilled jobs. The county will-utilize the facilities of the High Schools in training needed personnel from the minority group for a source of trained persons. As the county plans to use CETA prograins to train the persons needed, the High School facilities will enhance the training program. Planned improvem,nts in Highways, public roads, etc., will make the Regional Multi-Use Facility more accessible to a large number of disadvantaged persons from Brazos and the surrounding area. 4 f t .1' •,5 • „t r . r , I)t S ~i 1 I ~r' ~ - i ~ i. i, i } 'S r ~J ,,d~ '4'i t , Y , ' , ,]i 11''.

POLICY STATEMENT It is the.policy of-Brazos County to provide Equal Employment Opportunity with absolutely no discrimination against any person because of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex. It ~r must be understood, hooever, that in accordance with State Law the type of selection process through which prospective employees pass, the ultimate decision to hire of not to hire, and the decision to terminate employment involuntarily, rest with the elected official, under whom the employee will work when hired. The Commissioners ~f Court is prohibited by Law from interfering with that process and decision on the part of other elected officials., Ef By adopting this policy, the Commissioners Court affirmatively commits itself to the basic premise of the policy, encouraging and requesting all elected officials of the county to follow its mandate, to the end that the policy will extend to each and every area of employment and job identification by Brazos County. The goal is a total absence of discrimination in employment opportunities by Brazos County. Within the foregoing framework, the following are part of the Basic Policy: j' A. It is a fundamental. policy of Brazos County to afford equal opportunity to all its employees and applicants for employment, and to assure that there shall be absolutely no discrimination against any persons on ground of race, color, religion, national I origin, or sex except when sex-is a bona fide occupational qual= ificati,on. This obligation extends to all areas of employment including, but not necessarily limited to the following: Recuitment ` l Selection and placement (job assignments) 4 Rate of pay Promotion and transfer Disciplinary measures J Devotions, layoffs, and terminations ` Daily working conditions Testing and training (where applicable) Awards, compensations, and benefits B. The importance of fulfilling this policy is given top priority consideration in the day to day operations of Brazos County.
