Based upon 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 private <br />nonprofit organization dedicated to providing job training and stay-in-school services to low-income <br />residents and dislocated workers throughout Lane County. Federal regulations require that the City of <br />Eugene seek nominations from a general purpose business organization. Residency within the Eugene <br />city limits is not required for consideration 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. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />No policy issues are related directly to consideration of this resolution. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />The City Council can vote to approve the nominees; it can also request additional information or <br />background on the applicants 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 /> <br /> Z:\CMO\2010 Council Agendas\M100412\S1004123D.doc <br /> <br />
