FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. 100% federal funds being requested. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: 8% of the JTPA funds allocated to states are to be used for State Education Coordination and Grants programs. The California State Job Training Corodianting Council, the body responsible for developing state JTPA priorities, has determined that 30% of the 8% allocation shall be allocated based on a statewide Request for Proposal process. That process requires that the local PIC and chief elected official approve and sign RFPs before their submission to the State Department of Education. RFPs are due on April 1, 1985. At its meeting on March 18, 1985, the Private Industry Council reviewed and approved these RFPs, recommending submission to the Board for its approval and signature. The brief program descriptions above indicate that varied needs and diverse groups will be served if these proposals receive JTPA 8% statewide funds. cc: " Private Industry Council County Administrator State Department of Education (via Private Industry Council)
