<br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Long stated he had attended a LINK meeting and that the agencies <br />with the residency problems are under County jurisdiction. There are <br />options available that have not been explored. Ms. Miller stated she <br />knows this is a major problem for people involved. She wants to know what <br />the options are and if the City has explored them. Mr. Miller responded <br />that they had not heard about the existence of major problems, but that a <br />grievance procedure is provided and they have had no filings for grievance <br />procedures. There has not been sufficient evidence of a problem to explore <br />options at this time. <br /> <br />Ms. Miller asked if the council chose Option A or B, what would happen <br />to the reSidency situation. Mr. Long responded that the residency situation <br />will not go away under any of the options. The greatest flexibility is in <br />Option B and Option C with a consortium umbrella. Ms. Miller asked if <br />administration would be more difficult under the full consortium. Mr. <br />Miller responded that would only happen if there was difficulty between <br />the two agencies. Mr. Lieuallen stated that apparently the residency <br />requirement is being accommodated on the streets by the people in order to <br />keep their jobs. This may be why the CETA office is not hearing about <br />them. Mr. Lieuallen asked if the number of jobs was determined by the <br />population. Mr. Miller responded that the Department of Labor does not <br />set a number of positions; a certain amount of funds are given under the <br />program. Mr. Lieuallen asked if a certain percentage of the population <br />was in Eugene if that means that a certain percentage of the participants <br />in the CETA program must be from the city of Eugene. Mr. Miller responded <br />that was not the case. It is not a certain percentage of participants. <br />Mr. Lieuallen asked if under the consortium, participants could apply for <br />any job offered by the consortium. Mr. Miller responded that under a <br />consortium, county residents could still not apply for positions targeted <br />for city residents. Mr. Lieuallen asked if it was correct that under the <br />consortium a percentage of the monies goes to Eugene and until those jobs <br />fill up, Eugene residents could still apply for any jobs, even if they <br />would be within the Springfield city limits and that this would be up to <br />the percentage allocations within the dollar amounts. Mr. Miller responded <br />that that was correct. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Obie stated that he had a 1:30 appointment and would be leaving at that <br />time. <br /> <br />Mr. Delay asked if it is correct that the same dollar amount under the <br />consortium would be targeted for Eugene residents but that the mechanism <br />might be different. He asked for clarification if an after-the-fact <br />audit would be done to ensure that this happens. If residency is a <br />problem, a job pool could be established to swap on paper although these <br />mechanisms have not been qeveloped. Mr. Miller responded he was correct <br />in all of those statements. Mr. Long stated that there has not been a <br />great deal of feedback on the residency issue. He heard that about three <br />weeks ago the County-based agencies were still having problems with <br />residency. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Delay asked if the program could be operated more efficiently and more <br />programs could be offered for the same dollars. Mr. Long responded that <br />services could be increased with the same amount of dollars according to <br />the staff report. <br /> <br />3/26/80--9 <br />
