RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Rober Lilley to the Business Seat 9 on the Workforce Development Board with a term expiration of June 30, 2020, as recommended by the Family and Human Services Committee.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The Workforce Development Board (WDB) was created on pursuant to the Federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and has the responsibility for overall workforce investment policy, mandated workforce investment policy and oversight of the One-Stop Career Center system. The WDB implements federal requirements for programs to address the education, skills, and employment needs for a skilled workforce, and that lead to an increase in the skills and earnings of Contra Costa residents.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

January 21, 2016, the Executive Committee of the local Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) board met and approved a recommended WIOA Board configuration, subsequently approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 29, 2016. The new configuration resulted in a 25 member board, which includes two alternate seats. Term appointments are for four years.

On April 24, 2017 the Family and Human Services Committee met and reviewed applications from the Workforce Development Board. The Committee recommended the appointment of Robert Lilley. After the F&HS meeting, Mr. Lilley withdrew his appointment request, but has since changed his mind and is still interested in filling the seat as approved by the Family and Human Services Committee. Therefore, the recommendationn is moving forward for Board approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

An important Business seat will remain vacant.
