SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR Supervisor Tom Powers Supervisor Tom Torlakson BY ,DEPUTY M382/7-83 Page 2 7 . Leave this item on referral to our Committee. BACKGROUND: On July 12, 1988, the Board of Supervisors approved an expansion of the Career Development Program into one census tract in Pittsburg. The Board also made several requests of the Director of Personnel and asked the Director of Personnel to report back to our Committee on September 26, 1988. On September 26, 1988, our Committee received the attached report from the Director of Personnel and reviewed it with Lloyd Madden and Eileen Bitten from the Personnel Department. The Personnel Department will be contacting residents in census tract 3120 to inform them of the availability of the Career Development Program. Contact will also be made with community leaders and organizations in the Pittsburg area to advise them of the availability of jobs through the Career Development Program. The expansion of the program to census tract 3120 is scheduled to begin on October 12. Current plans are to have individuals trained and ready for appointment to positions by January 9, 1989. Our Committee was very pleased to see the progress being made in the expansion of the Career Development Program. Because of the work required to develop the expansion effort to this point, several of the other recommendations approved by the Board on July 12 have not been undertaken or completed. We have suggested that priority needs to be given to working with private, nonprofit organizations in the County in an effort to try to transfer the program to the private nonprofit sector. However, we also want the Director of Personnel to continue working with the private business sector, as is reflected in our recommendations. Mr. Madden noted that with the success of the Career Development Program he would like the Board to make the program permanent. This would require making Mr. Madden' s position permanent and creating one new clerical position for the program, which would be paid for from the temporary salary money now being used to support Mr. Madden' s clerical position. It appears that there should not be a very significant cost in making the program permanent, but we believe that the County Administrator needs to review the matter as we have recommended. We will be reviewing the Career Development Program again in December and will report back to the Board following that meeting. ' Contra Personnel Department Costa Administration Bldg. County Ma Pine Street Martinez, California 94553-1292 DATE: September 23, 1988 TO: Internal Operations Committee FROM: Harry' D. Cisterman, Director of Personne1� By: Lloyd G. Madden, Personnel Analyst SUBJECT: County Career Development Employment Program Expansion Report At the Internal Operations Committee meeting held on June 27, 1988, the Director of Personnel was requested to report back to the Internal Operations Committee in September regarding the progress towards the expansion of the Career Development Employment Program in the Pittsburg area. Positions in the Career Development Program are initially established within a position control pool in the Personnel Department and will be transferred to individual departments wishing to participate in the County Career Development Employment Program. A total of fifty-five (55) unfunded positions are allocated to the Career Development Program. Twenty (20) positions are restricted for participants residing in Census Tract 3120 in Pittsburg (area bounded by Railroad Avenue, Highway 4, Loveridge Road and the Santa Fe Railroad tracks) . Attached as Exhibit A you will find a letter (draft) announcing the expansion of the program to Census Tract 3120. Attachments to the letter include a Project Information Sheet and a map of the designated target area. As mentioned in our last report, the El Pueblo Public Housing Project is located in Census Tract 3120. The ethnic demographics were as follows: Caucasian 4 Families Black 139 Families Hispanic 113 Families Asian 10 Families American-Indian 0 Families To maximize diverse ethnic participation, staff will utilize available Community Resources (Exhibit B) to promote the expansion program and target our recruitment efforts. Individuals enrolled in the program will be required to attend participant development workshops, complete homework assignments and take written and oral examinations prior to being eligible for placement on the County's eligible list. The program is scheduled to commence on October 12, 1988 and have the first group of candidates eligible for appointment by January 9, 1989 (Exhibit Q . Individuals appointed to full--time permanent positions may be placed in any one of the departments listed on Exhibit D. The work location could be in a County office in downtown Martinez or in a department branch office in East, Central or West County. Internal Operations Committee Page 2 September 23, 1988 Finally, staff is also working on streamlining the overall program to provide for the expansion of position classification opportunities for County Career Development Employment Program participants. Given the high success of the program, its contribution to our affirmative action efforts, its positive impact on North Richmond and Parchester Village, and now with the expansion of the program to East County, it's clear to me that the program has out grown the project status in program expectations and in staffing capacity in the administration of as well as clerical support to the project and should be moved from project status and be permanently funded. In conclusion, the Career Development Program is proving to be one of the positive ways the County is assisting people who are locked in a spiral of poverty, unemployment, substance abuse, and in some cases incarceration, back into the mainstream of our society as productive and healthy citizens.

For each project position the Hiring Department will receive the names of no less than three (3) candidates from the employment list. The department representative will interview the list of candidates certified for final selection and appointment. Project Objectives 1. To provide employment opportunities to employable residents (unemployed or underemployed) of Census Tract 3650 (North Richmond and Parchester Village) and 3120 in Pittsburg. 2.
