The Monograph serves as a community assessment that covers the entire county. It will inventory and describe the social service/economic development network/infrastructure of the county,including: = - 1. Social Services and Economic Development entities; Current elements in place; , Resources, Network/System; Nature of Linkages; History. 2. Opportunities to improve; New capacities needed; EDD role/relationship; Strategy to improve linkages The monograph should contain demographic data that is descriptive of the county (an API-like document), and include an economic development element. It should describe the linkages which exist among local employment and training service providers and serve as a capacity building instrument. It will serve as the local plan of service and contain the Community Resource Guide developed by the Strategic Planning Office. The Monograph could include another piece which could include city trends--not just county, allow for more local highlights within model. This may not be true for some counties. Maybe include only unique trends for the cities, general trends could be included in county plan. Upon completion, the monograph will serve as a project blueprint for.greater coordination and leveraging of services. This could include MOU's, linkage protocols, or a search for new capacities to address unmet needs. The monograph can also be used by other agencies for needs assessments, grant applications, or for other local planning purposes. It can be used as a model to enable local EDD offices to become a more integral part of the local employment service delivery system. Once the Contra Costa County Monograph is completed, monographs in other counties or regional areas will be developed by the local labor market analyst and the respective field office managers.

I would be interested in being considered for service on the Contra Costa WORKS Advisory Council as either one of the Community members or as one of the Industry members . As a member of this community, I have an interest in Economic Development, having been in PG&E' s Corporate Economic Development Department for the past three years .

Wing Martinez, CA 94553 Dear Mr. Alexeeff: I am writing to express my interest in serving on the proposed committee on business and industry in Contra Costa County. As the owner of a small business in the county, this is an issue of great concern to me and one on which I feel I can make a useful contribution. In February 1987, I established my business in Concord, and immediately began to learn about the complex nature of local, State and Federal regulations of business and industry. Since then I have been exposed to numerous regulatory agencies, from local sanitary districts to the EPA and the Corp of Engineers. Over the past few years I have gained a working knowledge of the role and operation of most of these agencies and experienced first hand their interaction with industry. My eagerness to serve on this committee stems from a desire to see Contra Costa County return to the list of best places to do business in the United States. Sadly, I feel that we could no longer justify a position on such a list. Over regulation and a perceived anti-business climate are partly to blame for this. Rather than just complain about these problems, I would like to help solve them in whatever small way I can. ■ 81 John Glenn Drive 0 Concord,CA 94520 ❑ 510/686-2917 ❑ Fox 510/686-2986 While the word_ "industry" may bring to mind companies such as Chevron,_ Tosco or Dow, I think that this committee should also have representatives from small businesses like mine. The majority of county residents are employed by small companies and their jobs are more vulnerable to the affects of over-regulation, or lack of competitiveness. Over the past six years, I have built my company into a world leader in our very specialized industry. I have done so by using the complex regulatory maze to help rather than hinder progress, and by marketing on an international level. Because of this, I feel qualified to represent the interests of small businesses on the committee. I look forward to your response..

FOR DISPOSAL IN KELLER CANYON LANDFILL. .Dear Chirperson Torlakson and Members of the Board; The req est by KCLC to be granted general blanket pre-approval to receive "special wastes" generated outside Contra Costa County causes the City of Pittsburg to be deeply concerned. To add tow contaminated "special wastes" (dead animals, military base cl an-up wastes, sewage sludge, contaminated soils, constru tion/demolition debris, etc. ) to the infectious, municip 1, and industrial waste currently dumped in Keller Canyon adds in ult to injury. Our reading of the Conditions of Approval for Keller (Land Use Permit 2020-89, COA 5 .2) indicates that the provisi ns are clear regardinq the importation of waste from outside Contra Costa County. By diluting the standard proposed by your own Community Development Department, you would open a wider door to dump more, in quantity and category, repugnant waste dangerously close to our community. The waste that is currently being placed in the dump is not being effects ely contained at Keller. Our staff has seen videotaped evidencE that the ferocious winds of this area have been quvc:pRs ul in blowing cnnt.ami naiad Rni 1 and rpfuRP out of the dump ant into the surrounding community. There w re statements made at the Board that the rfesidents of Pittsbu g would, " . . .not see, hear, or smell Keller" - the residents of the Hillsdale neighborhood now know that you can porceivc the dump with all of these senses . To add to the current waste tally sheet more refuse which is even more undesirable would be,to strike another blow to the over-all quality of the living environment of our community.
