Based on a recommendation from the Eugene Area Chamber <br />of Commerce, the Mayor nominates and the City Council appoints representatives to the Lane <br />Workforce Partnership Board of Directors. This intergovernmental body directs the operations of local <br />employment and training programs funded under the federal Job Training Partnership Act. It is a <br />private, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing job training and stay-in-school services to low- <br />income residents and dislocated workers throughout Lane County. Federal regulations require that the <br />City of Eugene seek nominations from a general purpose business organization. Residency within the <br />Eugene city limits is not required for appointment. <br /> <br />The by-laws of the organization call for a board of up to 15 members composed of persons representing <br />a number of stakeholders in local work force issues. This is a reappointment of a current board member. <br /> <br />Based on the recommendation from the Chamber of Commerce, the Mayor nominates a candidate to the <br />City Council. The City Council votes on the nominee. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />No policy issues are related directly to consideration of this appointment. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />The City Council can vote to approve the nominee; it can also request additional information or <br />background on the applicant and delay the vote, or reject it entirely. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The City Manager recommends approval of the proposed nomination. <br /> <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2007 Council Agendas\M070122\S0701222E.doc <br /> <br />
