'GDNTRA COSTA COIRJTY PRIVATE WDUSTRY COUNCIL 2125 81590 LAE, SUITE 100 CONCORD. CA 94520 971 -1179 DATE October 9, 1986 cc: CAO Supervisor Powers Supervisor Schroder 70 Internal Operations Committee Supervisor Torlakson (Supe ors�hd,� & McPeak) FttoM Art u Miner, xecutive Director Private Industry Council SUBJECT PIC APPOINTMENTS The Board needs to make nine appointments to the PIC for positions whose two year terms expired on 9/30/86. The PIC consists of 20 members of the following composition: Business 12 Community Based Organization 1 Education 2 Economic Development 1 Labor 2 Public Employment Service 1 Rehabilitation 1 The JTPA legislation requires the Board make its appointments from among individuals nominated by organizations represented by each category. The composition of the PIC is subject to review by the Governor, who periodically certifies that our PIC is consistent with Federal and State legislation. State legislation requires PIC vacancies to be filled by the Board within 60 days. In staffs opinion the current PIC is reasonably representative. However, we could use increased East County, San Ramon Valley Area, Hispanic, and female PIC representation. The PIC has no specific advice for the Board. The general PIC position is that the Board should give consideration to the expertise of incumbents nominated for reappointment; and that the Board should only appoint individuals that are willing to volunteer the necessary time to ensure the PIC remains a viable organization. For current PIC members renominated, staff has reviewed statistics for full Council and committee meetings for the last 12 months. Staff would consider attendance at less than half of PIC meetings to be a significant factor for consideration by the Board. All current members standing for reappointment have attendance records better than 509; also all seeking reappointment are eligible under the PIC Bylaws, since none have served three full two year terms. Page Two The PIC Chair specifically requests the Board to recognize the value of previous experience in light of previous program success and with the goal of maintaining PIC member consistency and expertise given the major new program charge of coordinating JTPA activities with the GAIN legislation. The Board will have a total of 9 appointments from among 19 nominees with the following distribution: NUMBER OF CATEGORY APPOINTMENTS NOMINEES Business 5 14 Education 1 2 Labor 1 1 Economic Development 1 1 Rehabilitation 1 1 REHABILITATION CATEGORY - 1 appointment There is one nomination for the Rehabilitation position - Robert Mathews, District Administrator for the State Department of Rehabilitation. He was nominated by the State and he was also nominated by the Mt. Diablo Rehabilitation Center. His attendance has been 60% and staff is unaware of any reason why the Board should not reappoint him to the PIC. Nominations from 20 rehabilitation agencies were solicited. His personal data sheet is attached. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - 1 appointment There is one nomination for the Economic Development position - Thomas Lafluer, Executive Vice President of the Pittsburg Economic and Housing Development Corporation. Mr. Lafluer has not previously served on the PIC. He is a resident of Pittsburg and his agency is officed in Pittsburg, giving the PIC needed East County representation. Beside PEHDC, staff solicited nominations from the county and city planning departments. His personal data sheet is attached. LABOR CATEGORY - 1 appointment There is one nomination for the Labor position - Dave Platt, Assistant General Manager of Contra Costa Employees Association Local No 1. He has chaired PIC committees, is currently the Chair of the Planning Committee and a member of the Executive Committee. He has assumed an active leadership role, his attendance record is better than 75%. Staff is unaware of any reason why the Board should not reappoint him to the PIC. Labor nominations were solicited from nine local labor organizations, all of which were informed of his interest in renomination. His personal data sheet is attached. (The current incumbent of the other labor position is Colleen Swift, Union Representative of Communication Workers of America, Local 9402, who was nominated by the Central Labor Council.) 'Page Three EDUCATION CATEGORY - 1 appointment There are two nominations for the Education position, John I. Carhart, Chancellor, Contra Costa Community College District, and Robert Krumm, Micro Computer Schools, Incorporated. (The current incumbent of the other education position is Dr. Ron Stewart, Contra Costa Superintendent of Schools.) Dr. Carhart is an incumbent standing for reappointment, his attendance record has been over 65% and he was nominated by the Community College District, County Office of Education and Martinez School District. Mr. Krumm's nomination has been endorsed by Thomas Goren, CPA, and Eric Ornas, PACTEL. Education nominations were solicited from all public and private county high schools and colleges, and from proprietary vocational schools. Personal data sheets are attached. BUSINESS CATEGORY - 5 appointments The business representatives were nominated by the County Chambers of Commerce, with Walnut Creek compiling the list. Attached is a list of the 14 business nominees, copies of their personal data sheets and endorsements. Four of the current PIC members have been nominated for reappointment. Staff believes the Board would be well advised to seriously consider reappointing all four, whose individual attendance records equal or exceed 70%. Barbara Shaw is the current PIC Chair, she has been a very active PIC member, and a strong supporter of the public-private partnership. William Maz6tti is the Chair of the Oversight Committee, he has assumed a leadership role, and he is a resident of the San Ramon Valley - our only current PIC member from that area. Uda Johnson is the Chair of the Proposal Review Committee. She has also worked toward inter SDA standardization of OJT practices, and she represents a major County employer - the Bank of America. Barbara Mitchell was the former Chair of the Planning Committee, she has some special expertise and interest in youth employment - particularly special education and disabled youth. Unfortunately there are more excellent candidates than openings. Beside previous PIC expertise, other factors for Board consideration are representation. None of the candidates are identified as Hispanic, the only major minority group not currently represented. The current PIC membership is 25% female, our client population is approximately 60% female. If the Board reappoints the current PIC business members, it should consider the two new female applicants for the fifth position. Alita Fischer is a West County businesswoman and resident. We currently do have two small West County business representatives (Alvarado Bank and BABCO) and four West County residents. Julie Croce is employed in Central County, but her employer (Wells Fargo) does operate in the San Ramon Valley and she is a resident of the San Ramon Valley. She is a new nominee. There are also several good male candidates. Eric Frank is a volunteer small business counselor for the PIC program, he is semi-retired but does some private consulting work and is recommended by the Walnut Creek Chamber. John Mathies is a former CETA PIC member, although his, attendance could have been better. Robert Roman is a new nominee, he is interested in the PIC, has volunteered in SBA loan activity and is supportive of PIC goals. Bob Faris, a resident of Pleasanton, is endorsed by the Walnut Creek Chamber. Roy Elliott is a former PIC member, now that he has transitioned to the Civic Bank of Commerce he again has time available for PIC activities and has assisted our small business workshops. Geoffrey Albertson is a new nominee referenced by the Walnut Creek Chamber. ACM:baj Attachments
