The Personnel Department reported that they have been involved in
the planning and development of the City of Richmond' s Outreach,
Pre-Employment and Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program. This
program, which was initiated by Supervisor Powers, is designed to
take advantage of the employment opportunities which may develop
in the building and constructiontrades as a result of the
Chevron Modernization and other construction which is expected to
take place in West County over the next few. years. This program
is being designed to provide residents of the West County area
the opportunity to become apprentices in the building and
construction trades.
The Personnel Department also continues to operate its shared
Career Development Employment Program in conjunction with the
City of Pittsburg, although the contract with Pittsburg expires
in April and it is unclear how the joint program will be financed
after that date. This program is currently working with 28
individuals from Pittsburg.
Finally, the Custodial Training Program has been joined with the
Career Development Employment Program- in an effort provide
additional participant training, employment opportunities and
transition to Merit System positions. To date, 2 participants
have been hired on Merit System positions, one as a Custodian and
one as a Laborer.
We are asking that the Director of Personnel make another report
to the 1991 Internal Operations Committee in about six months.
We believe that these periodic reports provide a valuable
opportunity to keep the Board Members and the general public
up-to-date with some of the more innovative employment and
outreach efforts which are being. made - and made successfully -
by the County. .

II. Pre-Employment and Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program
The County Personnel Department has been involved in the planning and
development of the City of Richmond's Outreach, Pre-Employment and
Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program, since it was conceived nearly eight
months ago. We got involved at the request of Supervisor Tom Powers who
took the initiative to .convene a coalition of business, labor, education
and government representatives to discuss employment opportunities in the
building and construction trades that may develop as a result of the
proposed Chevron Modernization Project and other major business and
industry development planned and scheduled in West County over the next
five years. This meeting .took place on or about January 15, 1990. Since
that initial meeting, the coalition has met on several occasions to
formally discuss the process for developing a plan for outreach,
recruitment, training and job placement in the building and construction
trades industry. The Contra Costa Building and Construction Trades Council
hired Jonothan Dumas as the Director of the Richmond Community Outreach
Program and serves as their primary representative to the City of
Richmond's Outreach, Pre-Employment and Pre-Apprenticeship Training .
Program. Jonothan is the key facilitator of Building and Construction
Trades Recruitment Orientation Workshops . sponsored by Contra Costa County
Personnel/CDEP. Two recruitment workshops were held during this period,
August 15th and September 12th (Exhibit "B") .
III. East County Career Development Employment Program Office

process of consummating a staff sharing agreement with the City of
Pittsburg for the purpose of reactivating the CDEP in Pittsburg. In May
the agreement was executed which also provided for, at no cost to the
County, office space, telephone, office furniture, photocopying, reception
and clerical support. In addition to implementing the CDEP in the
Pittsburg area, we also provide the following:

On May 22, 1990, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution # 90/333
revising the Custodial Training Program established by Resolution #88/682.
The primary purpose for the revision was to join the Trainee Program with
the Career Development Employment Program to provide additional participant
training, employment opportunity and transition to Merit System positions.
Ten Workforce/Custodial Training Program graduates were placed on the CDEP
eligible list on June 14, 1990. To date, two individuals from the group
