Mesa also was askedi to improve its employe-selection methods and to make annual reports, beginning March 1, on its progress in combating discrimination in hiring. Federal officials can enforce these requests by suspending or withdrawing levenue-sharing funds, of which the city will receive about $780,000 this fiscal year. Washington also can demand that the city repay all the revenue-sharing money Mesa has received since the program began in 1972. This would total more than $4 million, officials said, Richard Lorig, Mesa personnel director, said the city will establish one-year, three-year and five-year timetables for complying with anti-discrimination standards. He acknowledged that the city's hiring practices may have to be weighted in some cases to reflect the need for women and minority employees.

For example, Lorig said, if two-equally qualified applicants, one black and one white, sought retiring Police Chief Ramon Mendoza's job, the city should probably choose the black. Lorig said Mesa already is actively looking for minority and women police officers and plans to start a similar program for the Fire Department in February or March. Mesa also will offer on-the-job training to employees wishing to advance within city functions and is putting out "career ladders" to let workers know what skills they need to acquire to qualify for promotion. The city also has eliminated questions about age, sex, height, weight, marital status and occupation from its job applications, Lorig added. plans made The Arizona Libertarian i Party will hear national, state and local political experts during a convention March 24-26 at the Adams Hotel.
