The former executive director of the Patterson
Avenue YMCA filed a federal civil suit against the
local YMCA Wednesday.
Richard Glover, now the executive director of the
Hunton YMCA in Norfolk, Va., said his attorney
has filed a suit on his behalP'just to set the record
straight. There have been a lot of misconceptions
back and forth. I'd like to lay that to rest right
now."
The 14-page suit is filed against the WinstonSalem/Forsyth
County YMCA and Brian Cormier,
as an individual and as executive director of the Y.
Glover would not disclose details or conditions of
the suit. All of that, said Glover, has been left up to
his attorney, T. Pella Stokes, of Greensboro.
When asked if getting his job back was one of the
conditions of the suit and whether he would accept
the job if it were offered, Glover refused to com
ment.
Glover resigned as executive director of the
predominantly black YMCA in December. But
several members of the Patterson Avenue Board of _
Mtoakcrient saldhU Agnation
At that time, Glover would make no comment oh
the conditions of his resignation.
"That's why I didn't make any statements," said
Glover by telephone Wednesday morning. "I was
planning this suit."
Glover left the Patterson Y in late January to
take his new job in Norfolk.

One proposed change in
By ROBIN ADAMS
Chronicle Assistant Editor
o
A decision on the fate Winston-Salem's
"enabling" legislation will have to wait at
least one more week.
State House Rep. Annie Brown Kennedy
requested that a vote on the bill, which
would allow the city's Board of Aldeftn^rT
to set quotas for minority and female participation
on publicly financed construction
projects, be delayed until Wednesday,
May 22. During the delay, Local Government
Committee II will try to come up with
an amendment to the bill that will insure its
passage out of committee.
"Several members of the committee have
asked us to consider some kind of cap,"
said Kennedy. "The committee has a right
to amend the bill in any way we choose."
One such amendment drafted by the
city's attorney places a 10 percent cap on
the dollar amount of any contract that can
be^earmarked for minorities.
"The minimum minority and/or
women's business enterprise participation
requirement ... for any subcontractors on
any given construction project many not
exceed 10 percent of the dollar volume of
the cost of the construction project," reads
the amendment.

ports the amendment because it gives the

"I think we ought to salvage some of this
legislation/' said Newell. "We worked
hard on it. We had zero and now we have
10 percent. It's just that simple. This is
what federal contracts require."
?^The committee may decide to go with a
10 percent cap, or it may adopt something
totally different, said Kennedy.

said Kennedy. VI could be higher than 10
percent. The (white) contractors are fearful
that the percentage could go to most any
amount if there is no cap. But the reality of
the situation is tlW we don't have that
many blacks and women who qualify to do ,
the work if we go higher."
Newell, who testified last Wednesday
before the committee in support of the bill,
said the desire for the cap is based on ignorance
and fear.
