Declares emergency, effective on passage. + } <br />Sponsored By:COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/sb0800.dir/sb0894.a.pdf <br />ContactRespondent Dept Updated Priority Policy Policy No Recommendation <br />PW-ADM <br />Eric Jones Eric Jones 5/12/2009 Pri 3 Support <br />Amendments to SB 984 decrease the amount of funding (from an estimated $2.5 million to <br />Comments: <br />a maximum of $1.8 million) and the purpose of the funding (from "on-the-job training" to <br />"increase diversity in highway construction workforce and prepare individuals interested in <br />entering highway construction workforce by conducting specified activities." To clarify the <br />intent of the amended purpose statement, the following activities are defined: <br />(a) A state oversight board; <br />(b) Preapprenticeship programs; <br />(c) Preemployment counseling; <br />(d) Orientations on the highway construction industry; <br />(e) Basic skills improvement classes; <br />(f) Career counseling; <br />(g) Remedial training; <br />(h) Entry requirements for training programs; <br />(i) Supportive services and assistance with transportation; <br />(j) Child care and other special needs; and <br />(k) Job site mentoring and retention services. <br />These seem like reasonable practices for a major state agency. It is unlikely that Eugene <br />would be affected by the diversion of a relatively small portion of ODOT's annual federal <br />funding. Typically Eugene does not take legislative positions on state agency budgets; <br />however, given the worthy purpose and the relatively small amount of funding, the City <br />might consider a priority 3 support position on SB 894A. <br />SB0915A <br />Relating to the regulation of structures <br />Relating Clause: <br />{ - Prohibits municipality that enforces state building code provision or building <br />Title: <br />requirement by means of municipal ordinance from assessing criminal penalty for <br />ordinance violation if violation of corresponding state building code provision or building <br />requirement is subject to civil penalty.
