Box 222 Martinez, CA 94553 or - Marshall Walker III President, SEIU Local 790 328 S. 41st Street Richmond, CA 94804 BACKGROUND: See attached memo from Art Miner, Executive Director, Private Industry Council. Our Committee has carefully reviewed the recommendations of staff and the qualifications of the nominated candidates,as well as the distribution and balance of the Private Industry Council. Based on this review,we believe that the above recommendations will provide the best possible balance to the Private Industry Council, retain qualified and interested members, and we urge the Board to approve our recommendations. In regard to Recommendation#4,our Committee was unable to agree on an appointment and must therefore request the Board of Supervisors to choose between two highly capable and qualified candidates. There is still one appointment to be made for the"Community Based Organizations"category seat. We expect to make a recommendation�to the Board of Supervisors shortly to fill this remaining vacancy. i I - 2 - MIA 'Co aTA COUNTY INATE ,INDUSTRY COUNT '.5 BISSO LANE, SUITE 100 (CORD, CA 94520 646-52--:1 October 2, 1989 CAO - C_7._ VanMar+cr cc: Supervisor Torlakson Supervisor Schroder Internal Operations Committee Supervisor Fanden (Supe 's�orsPowers & McPeak) )I : Ar h %� L—e-e/tLutive Di rector Contra Costa County Private Industry Council I ECT:. PIC APPOINTMENTS' The Board needs to make ten appointments to the PIC for positions whose two year terms expired on 9/30/88 and an additional eleventh appointment to fill a resignation. Four of the current members are ineligible for re-appointment due to having served the maximum of their full three two-year terms. 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 beifilled by the Board within 60 days. In staff's opinion, the current PIC is reasonably representative. However, we could use increased Asian and female PIC representation. The PIC Chair, Tim Thomason, Bank of Alvarado President, 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 dislocated worker program, the charge of coordinating JTPA activities with the GAIN/JOBS legislation, and the probable need to plan and implement proposal JTPA amendments; effective July 1, 1990. The PIC Chair believes the selection of the educational representative is particularly crucial in view, of the greater JTPA targeting to hard-to-serve youths and adults in need of remedial/basic educational services. It goes without saying that the PIC expects the Board to only appoint individuals that are willing to volunteer the necessary time to ensure the PIC remains a viable organization. All current PIC members standing for re-appointment have been active PIC members. The Board will] have a total of 11 appointments from among 17, nominees with the following distribution: CATEGORY NUMBER OF NOMINEES APPOINTMENTS $usiness 6 11 Education 1 2 Labor 2 3 Community Based Organization 1 0 Public Employment Service 1 1 PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT SERVICE CATEGORY - 1 appointment There is one nomination for the Public Employment Service position - Wanda Viviano, the Antioch EDD Office Manager. This would be her second PIC term; her attendance has been good and staff is aware of no reason why the Board should not re-appoint her. COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS - 1 appointment At this time we have no nominations, which were solicited from 33 organizations. Staff is again soliciting nominations with special emphasis on those organizations not likely to be potential Contractors. The current representative - Annell Grove, can continue on the PIC until an appointment is made. She is ineligible for re-appointment due to having served the full three two-year terms. LABOR CATEGORY - 1 appointment There are two labor appointments; one due to Anne Crisp, AFSCME Local 512 Executive Board member having completed her initial two year term, and the second caused by the resignation of John Allen, Local #1 Treasurer, due to time restraints and the end of his term on the' Local Board of Directors. There are three,nominations. Anne Crisp has been nominated for re-appointment by the Central Labor Council, which has also nominated Marshall Walker III, Vice President of Richmond Local 790, SEIU. Local 1 has nominated Dave Platt, Assistant General Manager, and a; former PIC member. Acknowledging the high quality of all these candidates, the PIC Chair recommends Anne Crisp be re-appointed to the PIC and Dave Platt be appointed to the vacant position resulting from John Allen's resignation. Staff would note that current proposed DTPA legislative amendments will probably require three P,IC labor representatives after July 1, 1990, Mr. Walker would appear to be an excellent candidate for that opening. EDUCATION CATEGORY - 1 appointment There are two nominations for the education category; Charles Priest, Regional Occupational Program Director and Walter Marks, Richmond Unified School District Superintendent. Both are eminently qualified and would be a real asset to the PIC. However, the PIC Chair requests the Board consider Superintendent Marks for the appointment. The Board, with PIC support, has traditionally appointed a member from the Community College and from the secondary system. However, it now looks like the criteria should be vocational training and remedial/basic education. The other PIC education J • 4 I representative, Ina Rae Lapum, now a consultant for the Chancellor's office, was previously the Assistant Dean of Occupational and Community Education. Her expertise and Mr. Priest's) tend to overlap. The PIC Chair feels having a Unified School District Superintendent would provide broader balance and be helpful for the new federal initiative targeted to the very difficult to serve and encouraging remedial/basic educational services to adults and youths. This vacancy was created by Dr. Ron Stewar3t- having ably served the maximum of three full two-year terms. If Superintendent Marks is appointed, it will be the first time the PIC has had a District Superintendent as a member, and will enhance our West County representation level. BUSINESS CATEGORY - 5 appointments The business representatives were nominated by the County Chambers of Commerce, with the Walnut Creek Chamber compiling the list. Attached is a list of the 11 business nominees, copies of their personal data sheets when available and endorsements. Three are current PIC members (Thomason, Romeo, and Williams) . Staff believes the Board would, be well advised to seriously consider re-appointing all three. They have been active participating members. Their experience will be valuable, particularly for the initiation of the new Federal Mandates, and the continuing challenge of maintaining program operations and effectiveness. Tim Thomason is; the current PIC Chair. He has provided sound leadership; his re- appointment will allow him to finish his current term as Chair and then maintain his expertise as the past Chair. Michael Romeo has been a valuable member, he has served with distinction on the Proposal Review Committee and he is a representative of large business. His re-appointment will maintain business member balance. Willie Williams has served with distinction as Chair of the Marketing/Economic Development and Proposal Review Committees. He also brings the perspective of minority small business; he is the only business representative from West County. i Three of the vacancies are as a result of two members having served the maximum number of two-year terms (Bill Sharkey, Shell Oil, and Paul Witkay, Cardox Corp) and Joe Partida - whose business had started to interfere with PIC attendance - not re- applying. Of the remaining 11 Chamber nominees, only three responded to staff they were interested in a PIC appointment, Jose Antman, Roy Elliott, and Eric Frank. This is the first time Jose Antman has been nominated. His appointment would maintain a Hispanic small business representative on the PIC and staff believes that should be an important consideration for the Board. One of the two remaining actively interested candidates is Roy Elliott, a former PIC member. The PIC Chair believes his appointment would be very helpful. The remaining actively interested candidate is Eric Frank. He has been a long time supporter of the PIC, and assisted us in establishing the Business Resource Center. teLurn original LABOR ')RIVAT" UMUSTF.Y COUNCIL ?425 Bisso Lane, X100 Category position on the PRIVATE INDUSTRY COUNCIL :oncord, CA. 94520 Contra Costa County Employees Association, Local #1 RECOMMENDING/NOMINATING AGENCY PERSONAL DATA SHEET Nominees for Advisory Board and Commissions to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors NAME:- David V.
