e rather than increased. Adoption of Proposal B would increase duplica- tion. He supports a full consortium. From a service provider's point of view, two programs would work as a disadvantage, not an 'advantage. The City and County should work together on economic development. Lane Interagency Network passed a resolution to encourage local government to state opposition to the residency requirements to the Federal government, to cooperatively encourage economic development between the City and County, and to eliminate administrative duplication. e Liz Webb, Lane County employee, stated that in regard to Attachment 0 of the staff memo, the County would like to clarify some items. The cost of entering employment was an estimate. Not all prime sponsors in the area have completed the close-outs necessary to obtain actual figures. The Department of labor updated these figures and they are open to question. The employment rate in Item II -B may look low, but 'the County has made an effort in serving minorities, disadvantaged youth, handicapped youth, and juvenile offenders and those groups normally take more time. In regard to the item of Titles 11-0 and VI, she thought the County had done a good job. The City program agent has also done a good job in these two areas. Twenty-seven percent of their enrollment in YETP is juvenile offenders. In regard to administrative cost, for a $13-million program, $1.8 million was budgeted for administration which would be 13.8 percent. In regard to intake, she considers Mr. Miller's statements to be incorrect. Eligibility requirements determine who will be served by programs 11-0 and VI. Philip Miller, 580 West 8th Avenue, stated that LINK is very concerned. They strongly endorse the comprehensive consortium model. One major concern is that the City staff feels they have no control over what they refer to as lithe Lane County CETA Program." Twelve of the 15 members of the advisory council are prominent Eugene residents. Before Eugene became a program agent, city of Eugene residents had access to 100 percent of all the CETA jobs and 60-70 percent of these were filled by Eugene residents. Public hearing was closed. Mr. Lieuallen stated that according to the staff report, Model C seems to be the best way to go. Accepting Model C seems to be the message until the end of this report. At that time, staff states that Recommendation B, or if not B then A, would be the one to choose. He stated he would like to see Model C endorsed with strong emphasis on contracting services. Mayor Keller stated he would support the motion and feels that the council has a primary responsibilty to accept staff's position to ensure good management with a minimum of administrative cost. He is not saying that the City and County cannot eventually get together and solve differences, but it would be in the City's best interest to support the staff report. Ms. Miller stated she would vote for the motion. She does not see that intergovernmental departments have worked and does not see that this one would. The expectation is that the City's overhead would be lower than the County's. She would expect user groups to inform City staff if this were not the case, or if they were not being served more effectively. e 3/26/80--13
