RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, on behalf of the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa, Small Business Development Center, to apply for and accept Wells Fargo Foundation grant funding in an amount not to exceed $35,000 for outreach, advising and group training services to low-to-moderate income residents in rural Contra Costa County with cities of 50,000 or less residents for the period September 1, 2017 through August 30, 2018.
