FROM: Arthur C. Miner, Executive Director Contra
Private Industry Council Costa
DATE; June 28, 1989 Cj`„""`J
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE EXECUTION OF CITY OF RICHMOND CONTRACT (COUNTY #19 -3013-0) FOR
SERVICES PROVIDED TO WORKERS DISPLACED AS A RESULT OF THE SAFEWAY FIRE
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AUTHORIZE the Executive Director, Contra Costa Private Industry Council
(PIC), to execute on behalf of the County, a $40,000 City of Richmond
contract (County #19-3013-0) for the term beginning August 1, 1988 and
ending July 31, 1989 for the provision of employment and training services
to workers displaced as a result of the July 1988 fire at the Safeway
Distribution Center in Richmond.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None; 100 percent federal funds.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
In July 1988 a fire at the Safeway Distribution Center in Richmond caused
a mass layoff of approximately 600 workers. Due to the nature of the
occurrence, there was no advance warning of layoff for the workers or
those community agencies that assist dislocated workers.
Working cooperatively with the Richmond PIC, we requested instructions
from the State on how to access dislocated worker funds. The State
decided that since the Safeway Distribution Center was located in
Richmond, the Richmond PIC should be the lead agency and request the State
grant, and the County PIC should be a subcontractor of the Richmond PIC
to serve Central and East County residents displaced as a result of the
fire.
The State contracting process was slow and complex, somewhere around
January 1989 Richmond received an approved grant for 1 August 88 through
31 July 1989. Both Richmond and the County PIC were authorized to utilize
existing JTPA resources pending the execution of the Richmond grant and
our subsequent contract or subgrant with Richmond.
This contract will allow the County PIC to be reimbursed for the services
provided to displaced Safeway employees on behalf of the Richmond PIC.
