MANPOWER PROGRAM The Mayor stated that the proposed Joint Manpower Agreement between the cities of Anaheim, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach and Santa Aha and the County of Orange had been mailed to each Councilman approximately one week ago by the City Manager for the implementation of manpower planning and the distribution of manpower funding. He explained that a new federal law will bring manpower under a form of special revenue sharing; that up to five per cent increased funding will be available to a consortium representing more than fifty per cent of the County population (75 per cent of the labor market); and that the four largest cities of the County and the County (unincorporated areas) meet that requirement. He added that the agreement provides for a seven member board, one representative from each of the four cities and three representatives from the County. Councilman Markel stated that he was opposed to the agreement. Councilman Griset described the present inadequacies of the MAPC(Manpower Area Planning Council Program) based on his experience with the program as the previous Mayor; and stated that he was in favor of the proposed agreement and the new legislation regulating the program. The City Manager stated that the proposed agreement would be presented for Council approval in principle at the regular meeting of the Council scheduled to convene at 2:00 P.M. (CA 140.4) ORANGE COUNTY The Mayor reminded TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT Council that the Orange CORRIDOR STUDY County Transit District had submitted four alternative corridors for each city in the County to indicate its preference and make its recommendation to the District Board. He stated that Anaheim favored a route which would bring the corridor through the Disneyland area and back to the Santa Ana Freeway bypassing much of Santa Aha and all of the downtown Fourth Street area.
