<br />has become a program agent. Under Option C, there would be a liaison <br />person to deal with situations such as this. Mr. Lieuallen asked for an <br />example of a case where City policy is being thwarted. Mr. Long stated <br />that they are proposing that as much money as possible be diverted to the <br />Eugene Summer program; it has high priority for the City. This liaison <br />.would work with the performing arts and the people involved in Eugene <br />Summer. Mr. Lieuallen stated that Mr. Long is missing the point. Mr. <br />Lieuallen asked him to identify a policy goal which the City has where <br />there might be a conflict. Ms. Smith stated that she does not want to <br />have a situation where due to CETA conflicts this negatively affects other <br />inter-governmental relationships. Mr. Lieuallen asked if the City is <br />at cross purposes with the County in regard to Eugene Summer, Mr. Long <br />responded that he had been told that most proposals in regard to Eugene <br />Summer had been denied by Lane County. The City was hoping to get a <br />higher priority on this project. Mr. Lieuallen stated that a proposal was <br />made to support Eugene Summer and he understands that the City does not <br />have any money for this program but they are urging the County to contribute. <br />Mr. Long responded that, in a meeting held on March 24, it was determined <br />that approximately $70,000 could be devoted to that or some other targeted <br />project this summer. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Ms. Miller asked if there had ever been a public hearing on this. Mr. <br />Long responded that there is no requirement for one, but that there has <br />been a task force. Ms. Smith stated that at the Program Agent Advisory <br />Committee meetings, if someone wants to speak, they ar~ allowed to. Ms. <br />Miller stated that they are speaking about a substantial amount of money <br />and she feels it would be a good idea to have a public hearing. She would <br />like to see public input on how the organizational structure should be set <br />up. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Ms. Miller asked, in regard to Attachment E--a comparison of administrative <br />overhead--how firm the staff cost projections on the City prime sponsor or <br />independent program/consortium board would be. Mr. Miller responded that <br />a certain percentage of each title program is allocated for administrative <br />costs and what is left over can be used for staff costs. They found that <br />Lane County was high in its overhead. By contracting, they predict that <br />they could have total overhead costs of 25 percent or less. He added he <br />feels very comfortable with that figure. <br /> <br />, Ms. Miller stated she would like to hear more about the residency problem. <br />It seems like a problem for agencies to fill positions for certain areas. <br />Mr. Miller responded that it is more of a prOblem for agencies if the <br />agency is funded only by Lane County, but is located within the city <br />limits. They must find someone from the County to fill the positions. <br />Arrangements can be made to swap positions, however. When the City <br />became a program agent, the agencies were split 50/50 and each program <br />operator had a separate labor pool. This split could be done differently; <br />monies could be split half and half to each funded agency. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />3/26/80--8 <br />
