On June 27, 1988, the Director of Personnel and the Director of the Career. Development Program, Lloyd Madden, presented our Committee with the attached report. This report includes a very thorough demographic 'analysis of three census tracts in the West Pittsburg--Pittsburg area. The objective in considering any expansion of the Career Development Program is to target residents of census tracts which are the most economically depressed. Following an on-site visit to a number of census tracts in the Pittsburg area, the decision was made to gather detailed demographic statistics on three census tracts: 3100, . 3110, 3120 . On nearly every basis of comparison it is clear that census tract 3120 is in greater need than the other two census tracts. . Our Committee agrees that the Career Development Program, which has been so successful in North Richmond and Parchester Village, should be expanded. to census tract 3120 in the Pittsburg area. We are also recommending a number of steps to attempt to transfer the Career Development Program to the private sector and other , levels of government. We would like to keep this item on referral to our Committee and make further status reports to the Board in the future.' Contra Personnel Department Cont Administration Bldg. Costa 651 Pine Street County Martine.,. California 945531292 DATE: June 23, 1988 T0: Internal Operations Committee FROM: Harry D. Cisterman, Director of Personnel BY: Lloyd G. Madden, Personnel Analyst SUBJECT: County Career Development Program Expansion Report On March 21, 1988 the I.O. Committee requested a report on additional census tracts which might be included in the County's Career Development Employment Project. Expansion consideration was focused on East County and the 1980 Census Data, considered to be the most reliable demographic data available, was used to identify several census tracts which might be suitable for the Career Development Project. A census review committee consisting of Harry Cisterman, .Manuel Ramos and myself observed the neighborhood conditions of the census tracts .(3100, 3110, 3120, 3131.01, 3131.02, 3132.02, 3141) by car, reviewed the .socioeconomic characteristics, and .then agreed to concentrate our assessment efforts on census tracts 3100,3110 and 3120. These three census tracts are characterized by a diversity of social, economic and demographic conditions. This diversity makes it imperative that any meaningful effort by the County should be focused on a targeted area within the census tract(s) selected. This report presents demographic statistics on the three census tracts we have determined to be the areas of greatest need. A table of contents is included to guide you through the review. process. In conclusion, staff considered four primary socioeconomic conditions .in the . process of formulating a recommendation to this committee. The conditions we considered significant were: I. General Housing Conditions II. School Enrollment and Years Completed III. Labor Force Participation IV. Income Below Poverty Level Our final analysis reveals that census tract 3120 is the area of greatest need. It is also important to note that the El Pueblo Public Housing Development is located in C.T. 3120 and the demographics provided by Perfecto Villarreal, Executive Director, Housing Authority, can be found on page 9 of the report. Recommendation: Staff recommends that C.T. 3120 be considered for the County's Career Development Project. LGM:af TABLE OF CONTENTS I.
