AUTHORIZE and APPROVE the name change of the Workforce Investment Board of Contra Costa County

FINA_NCI.AL IMPACT:
No County costs. Costs associated with the name change, such as business cards and letterhead, will be
covered by Federal Workforce Investment Act and Welfare-to-Work funds.
BACKGROUND:
In March 2000, the Board of Supervisors established the Workforce Investment Board of Contra Costa County
(WIB). The Workforce Investment Act, which governs the activities of the WIB, does not require that any
workforce policy body established under the Act be referred to as a Workforce Investment Board,
Several WIB members expressed dissatisfaction with the name "Workforce Investment Board of Contra Costa
County." ?zany suggested that the term "Investment"does not clearly nor accurately convey to businesses and
community organizations the overall mission and purpose of the WIB.
The WIB approved the name change to the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County at its
November 20, 2000 meeting. Board of Supervisors authority and approval of the name change will serve as
notice to grant funding agencies, such as the State of California and the U.S. Department of Labor.
