The WDB has responsibility for overall workforce investment policy, a workforce development plan, and oversight of the One-Stop Career Center system. Under the Workforce Investment Act, the "Chief Elected Official' (County Board of Supervisors) is designated as the appointing authority for membership on the WDB. The WDB has 39 seats: Business members (20), Education members (2), Labor members (2), Community- Based members (3), Economic Development members (2), and One-Stop Mandated Partners (9), and At Large (1). The Internal Operations Committee (IOC) screens all WDB nominations. The Internal Operations Committee, at its May August 11 meeting, approved the nominations for appointment.

A. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION The Workforce Investment Act calls for a business majority. Our Board continues to recruit key leadership to fill these positions. Our bylaws call for various mandated seats including one specific to each partner mandated under the Workforce Investment Act. Because these seats are mandated, appointees are consider Ex-Officio" and do not have term limits. In order to fulfill the requirements of SB293, our board size has increased to accommodate 15%labor requirement while still retaining a business majority. This increases our board,size to 45 members. Of these, 23 are business seats. We presently have a total of 8 open business:seats. In addition, labor will occupy 15% of the seats, bringing the total labor seats to seven. We presently have two labor seats filled; therefore, we have a total of five open labor seats. All other seats are presently filled. B. CURRENT SITUATION James Smith is currently the Superintendent of Water Treatment for the East Bay Municipal Utility District. Jim is presently providing leadership for the water and waste water districts in the bay area region in their discussions on present and future workforce issues.
