City Paid $30,905 to NFBPA

City Paid $30,905 to NFBPA 2009-2010 .

Note: figure does not include air fare, car rental, hotel, travel allowance, or reimbursements, etc.

The city of Savannah claims NFBPA is an allowable expense under professional development.

Did the city of Savannah send all the people  (below) a 1099 ( for the amounts of paying their NFBPA dues, forums, etc ?)

Since payment of their dues (by the City of Savannah) is considered compensation at the IRS, and it cannot be deducted as a business expense.

This compensation should be reported to the IRS and the employee must pay income tax on this compensation.

Annual dues for an individual were $210.  NFBPA also offers Business Membership Dues in the following Categories:

• EXECUTIVE (Platinum) - $5,000
• MANAGEMENT (Gold) - $3,500
• ADMINISTRATIVE (Silver) - $2,500
• PROFESSIONAL (Bronze) - $1,500
• INTERN (Contributor) - $500
• PATRON (Below $500).

But the city of Savannah declares the individual memberships as "Professional" memberships. Yearly FORUMs are usually held each April, Leadership Conferences are held in February , and in between there are scholarship banquets,and then there is a Summer Leadership Conference held in August, and all require a registration fee.

Below are vendor records for direct payments to NFBPA - National Forum for Black Public Administrators, anyone can join but they must all agree to promote blacks over all others. See NFBPA mission statement at the end of this entry.

_______________________________________

The City of Savannah has everything summed up in a raggy .pdf report here and when they total the amounts they are not consistent, for instance they do not include all payments to NFBPA in their totals but include all totals of let's say Fire Chief Association.  The report is chopped up and not representing exactly what was spent to promote blacks only.   They also list figures that are paid to attend Banquets, advertise jobs to promote black only newsletter,  and Forums registrations, as memberships (which they are not).  The city also on 7/2/2010 paid BRAVO MUSIC COMPANY  385.00 as a "Professional Membership",  first, this is a conflict of interest since the city manager sits on the board of BRAVO music company and second, the bravo organization only promotes the black race and no others. Bravo stands for:
Black youth Reaching to Achieve in Vocal and Orchestral music.

Mission Statement

National Forum for Black Public Administrators (NFBPA)

The mission of the NFBPA is embodied in the organization's commitment to strengthen the position of Blacks within the field of public administration; to increase the number of Blacks appointed to executive positions in public service organizations; and, to groom and prepare younger, aspiring administrators for senior public management posts in the years ahead.

The NFBPA mission is realized through the pursuit of the following important goals:

To serve the magnet organization for linking public, private and academic institutions into an effective network to support interdisciplinary communications, management innovation and professional development among Blacks choosing public service careers.

To provide intensive and rigorous training in critical management areas in response to the specialized needs of Black public sector professionals.

To identify and groom younger, emerging Black administrators and provide relevant exposure to the challenges and rewards of public service careers.

To conduct research on selected social and economic issues endemic to Blacks.

To sponsor and conduct national and regional forums that enable the discussion of timely issues and topical concerns of the Black community.

To develop and maintain a national information bank on the nation's growing Black public administrative leadership.

To promote, strengthen and expand the roles of Blacks in all aspects of public administration.

NFBPA and local govts

NFBPA 7th annual FORUM (April 16-20 2011) conference city is Chicago this year. And the summer meeting is held in Washington, DC together with annual leadership awards dinner. The NFBPA fall leadership meeting for Oct 15-16, 2010 was held at The Fairmont San Jose Hotel San Jose, CA

Expenses for FORUM, leadership awards dinner, training, lodging, and conferences could tally over $6,000 a crack.

History proves the connection to NFBPA began in Savannah/Chatham/Liberty/Hinesville area ca. 2006, and has shown progressive expansion to include over 320 members to date.

Annual dues are now at $210 a year for an individual. Not to mention the local forums that have an unknown cost.

Let's add that up. Suppose all 320 members work for Savannah govts?
That would be,
$67,200 a year just in dues, paid by the city/county to NFBPA. Does the city list this expense as a "long term committment" Just wonderin.

What municipal purpose does paying NFBPA serve? Dunno. Anyway.

Let's say they all went to the spring forum and fall leadership awards conferences.
$1,920,000, yep one million nine hundred and twenty thousand.

(note for perkins; uhh... the monetary turn there could have been over-corrected  -- accidentally . . . on purpose)

You read that right!

So, the realistic version is this;

An additional burden is placed on Savannah taxpayers by the election, appointment, hiring, promotion and continuous employment of members that belong to the National Forum for Black Public Administrators(NFBPA).

And based on the above figures, the election, appointment, hiring, promotion and continuous employment for individuals who are not black, saves the city about $ 1,987,200  a year.

Astronomical expenses have never been paid out for employees that are not black to attend these types of things in celebration of the color of their skin. And, this may be indicative of the shortfall that happened since 2006 (under Brown's watch) and continues to accrue today.



BTW  one doesn't chew gum.. the way one chews beef jerky!

Skewed process taints manager search

By Thomas M. Daniels III

Among its many nonprofit functions to improve U.S. local governments and the professionalism of city and county managers, the International City & County Management Association (ICMA) conducts a multitude of surveys. Its most recent State of the Profession Survey was done in 2009 and sent to all 7,237 city governments with a population of at least 2,500 and to 1,311 county governments.

A total of 2,214 (26 percent) of city and county managers completed the survey and 1,998 (23 percent of those surveyed) answered the question as to their race. Of those 1,900 (95.1 percent) were white, 51 (2.6 percent) were black, and 47 (2.4 percent) were of other races.

It follows that the racial breakdown of the search universe for our city manager should have closely mirrored those statistics. Applying those percentages to the pool of 86 Affion candidates interested in the Savannah vacancy, it should have approximated 82 whites, two blacks, and two of other races.

By extension, the eight resumes selected by Affion for review by our city council should have been roughly 7.6 whites, 0.2 blacks, and 0.2 other. However, the search firm presented six blacks, two whites, and zero others. Quite obviously, Affion received instructions from the city to deliver an overwhelmingly black slate of candidates. Otherwise, the odds of such an outcome are extremely remote if not impossible.

When Mayor Otis Johnson was elected many whites voted for him instead of the white candidates, Dicky Mopper or Frank Rossiter. But since the deck was stacked in favor of blacks in this hiring decision, Otis and company have undermined the ability of black candidates to garner white support in the next election.

Worse yet, as highly educated people and public officials, they're setting very bad examples for young enlightened blacks who rely strictly on merit and strong work ethics. Rather than burying affirmative action, reverse discrimination against whites, and racial cronyism, the bad examples are promoting it.

Equally disturbing is the handling of Acting City Manager Rochelle Small-Toney's bonding problem. As interim city manager, it's her responsibility to ensure city employees are in compliance with the city charter, ordinances, etc. If indeed she didn't know about the bond requirement, she's incompetent. But given her 20 years in city management with the last three in Savannah, most likely she knew and didn't comply, which is malfeasance. Instead of terminating her, or so much as disqualifying her as a candidate for city manager, Otis circled the wagons to protect her and, incredibly, not one alderperson objected.

On the Affion Public website, the closing line of our city manager search criteria reads:

"This individual must be able to adhere to the highest ethical and moral standards and be able to display transparency."

If the one hired actually lived up to those standards, he or she would be in a snake pit. Let's hope we can get past this sad chapter in Savannah history and base hiring decisions strictly on merit.

43 years Later / NFBPA

Why does Savannah need a National Forum for Black Public Administrators (NFBPA) in 2011?

Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming have no chapters of this racist group but Virginia and Georgia do.

Savannah created their group in 2006, some 43 years after discrimination was outlawed.  There are at least 18 department heads at the city who are black. UPDATE: 2012 (30+ dept heads)  There are actually more blacks working at the city than any other color/race.

Ii is clearly understood and recognized,  that there is absolutely no need for this group to be in existence in Savannah. As many public schools in Savannah reflect the inner city population and are 90 + % black.

And there are many more groups in Savannah just like NFBPA.  Only for blacks.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed major forms of discrimination including racial segregation. One major thing the Act did was end unequal application by facilities that served the general public. Why is there a problem today at Savannah's city hall then?

Why do blacks want to keep separating themselves into these groups?
Is it so they can say, so-and-so doesn't like me because I belong to XXX Black organization? Is it to keep a "trump" card handy?  

Everyone knows these organizations are racist due to the fact that the only reason for the organization is the color of one's skin. How can one in public office, belong to an organization based on skin color, and make fair decisions in public business?

Savannah and the world, need a watchdog group to reflect the change of modern times and to promote true equality in this 21st Century so we don't succumb to racial wars.
