Senior Deputy County Administrator
County
DATE: May 14, 1996 o°STA'coiiK
SUBJECT: Job Training Partnership Act- Demonstration Grant Application
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION=
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Executive Director, Private Industry Council, to submit an application
to the U. S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration for a demonstration grant to
link the Private Industry Council's One-Stop Workforce Development System with the County's Family
Services Centers in Bay Point and North Richmond.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
Community needs assessments have clearly shown that economic development, with a particular
emphasis on increased employment, is a top priority for Bay Point and North Richmond residents.
Currently, the County does not have electronic linkages between its GAIN program and the Private
Industry Council's One-Stop Workforce Development program. This grant application to the U. S.
Department of Labor would facilitate PLC's participation in service integration to build an effective
employment training, placement and development component at the family service centers. The
electronic linkages between the service integration sites and the JTPA regional offices and DTPA
administration would allow for sharing software and increased communication, including the possibility
of linked data bases, joint case management and shared software for assessment and labor market
information. This electronic linkage is very important to increase efficiency of operation and to be more
effective in serving our clientele.
The Labor Department has allocated approximately$1.9 million for the grants and expects to award
approximately 8 to 13 grants in the range of$100,000 to$250,000 each. The term would be 15 months
from the date"of award.

III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Private Industry Council's unsubsidized
Summer Youth Jobs Program (SYJP) in partnership with the Board
of Supervisors and the business community have placed over 30,000
