Rankin, Assistant City Manager) EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Exhibit 1 : Letter Dated November 27, 1990 from ACTEB/ACAP Executive Director Exhibit 2 : Letter Dated November 1 , 1990 to ACTEB from the California Employment Development Department (EDD) Exhibit 3 : Resolution RECOMMENDATION: ` ot>-Adopt Resolution FINANCIAL STATEMENT: All of the costs associated with operating ACTEB and the Job Training programs are Federal Funds, which are distributed by the State. The City does not make a financial contribution to this program. DESCRIPTION: The City of Dublin is a member of a JPA which created the Alameda County Training and Employment Board (ACTEB) . This entity provides services throughout Alameda County with the exception of the City of Oakland. ACTEB was established to provide services pursuant to the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) . This program developed as a result of Federal legislation to address unemployment and underemployment of disadvantaged residents through a job training program. In the November 1 , 1990 letter from EDD (Exhibit 2) , ACTEB was advised that their program funding was terminated effective October 31 , 1990 . Alameda County was designated as the entity to continue operation of the JTPA programs . The State took their action based upon ACTEB' s inability to resolve its dispute in submitting a job training plan for the entire Service Delivery Area. The County is utilizing the Social Services Agency to evaluate the operation of programs with the County Board of Supervisors designated as the Chief Elected Official . ACTEB has requested support in continuing to utilize the ACTEB Joint Powers agreement agency to administer and oversee the JTPA programs . Councilmember Moffatt is the City of Dublin representative to ACTEB. The Mayor' s Conference approved a similar Resolution at their November meeting. ACTEB has now requested that each member agency adopt a resolution identifying support. Staff has prepared a Resolution based upon the model provided by ACTEB. If additional information is required related to ACTEB, Councilmember Moffatt may be able to provide additional background. Staff would recommend that the City Council adopt the Resolution. a: @12-10al.doc.agenda ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: ITEM NO. �� 1710 (va Alameda County Training and Employment Board ACTEB/ACAP =�=== Associated Community Action Program .sisrnw�.
