RESOLUTION NO. 99-02 4 <br /> <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF <br />THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AUTHORIZING THE <br />MAYOR TO APPLY TO THE GOVERNOR FOR <br />DESIGNATION AS A WORKFORCE <br />INVESTMENT AREA AND APPOINTING THE <br />PRIVATE INDUSTRY COUNCIL AS THE <br />INTERIM WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (H.R. 1385) was signed into law on <br />August 7, 1998, and will become effective on July 1, 2000. The Workfome Investment Act shall <br />consolidate numerous training programs into three block grants: an adult employment and training <br />grant, a youth activities grant, and a dislocated workers grant. These block grants will replace the <br />Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs with one-stop career centers as the delivery system <br />for such grants; <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, the Workforce Investment Act defines what areas qualify for designation as <br />Workforce Investment Areas. Service Delivery Areas with populations over 500,000 (Orange <br />County) are automatically designated. However, in order for the City of Santa Ana, a Service <br />Delivery Area with a population between 200,000 and 499,000, to receive the designation and <br />thereby preclude the County from automatically taking over its programs, the local elected official <br />must apply to the Governor to request temporary designation and the local Workforce Investment <br />Board must be appointed; <br /> <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br />SANTA ANA: <br /> <br /> 1. Authorizes the Mayor to apply to the Governor for the City of Santa Aha to be designated <br />as a Workforce Investment Area. <br /> <br /> 2. Appoints the Private Industry Council as the interim Workforce Investment Board to <br />respond to any transitional directives, both State and Federal, that may occur prior to the final <br />Workforce Investment Area designation by the State. <br /> <br /> <br />
