SUBJECT: WITH CONTRA COSTA COUNTY TO VOLUNTARILY SIGN "FIRST-SOURCE"
AGREEMENTS TO GIVE UNEMPLOYED COUNTY RESIDENTS REFERRED BY THE
COUNTY PRIVATE INDUSTRY COUNCIL (PIC) FIRST SHOT AT JOBS
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
REQUEST the County Administrator to get input from the County PIC, other similar job
referral groups and local Chambers of Commerce on the following concept and bring a
draft proposal back to the Board of Supervisors by October 1, 1995.
BACKGROUND:
Other local governmental agencies have.gotten significant numbers of jobs for their
residents by developing voluntary first-source referral agreements and encouraging
employers to voluntarily sign them.
Getting unemployed County residents off the streets and into jobs is a win/win for all of us.
The unemployed and underemployed get a chance to succeed and to get job experience.
Local businesses benefit from the ripple effect of income being spent locally. The County
and cities benefit from the reductions in crime and social program costs that follow
reductions in unemployment.
The County PIC would develop a system to refer job orders it could not fill to other in-
county PICs and similar groups.
