APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The April 25, 1996 minutes were moved for approval by Bob Cashman and

was no discussion.
NON - CONSENT CALENDAR ACTION ITEMS #1 &2
Action Item #1 - Approval of the FY1996 -97 8 % -30% Request for Application
prioritization recommendations for submittal to the California State of
Department of Education.
Ruben Aceves stated that the PIC authorized the release of the State request for
application for School -To- Career Projects which were due May 10th. He stated
that they received a total of three proposals; NOCCCD, NOCROP, AUHSD. He
stated that the P&A Committee in conjunction with the School -To- Career
Steering Committee were involved in the review and evaluation process. He
stated that there were a total of 6 readers on the panel and at the last P &A
meeting, the recommendations were to assign priority #1 to NOCCCD, priority
#2 to AUHSD, and priority #3 to NOCROP. The applications are due to the
State on May 29, 1996. Ruben stated that on page two of the item is a timeline
showing the dates.
Larry Slagle asked if there was any reason to believe that we would receive
funding for priority 2 &3 and what was the point spread. Ruben stated that the
committee and staff felt that all three applications were well written and served a
valuable need and in consideration of that, a support letter would also be
submitted to the State for their funding if additional funds are available. He also
stated that this was a degree of difference between the applications and the
committee was comfortable making the priority assignments. There was about a
30 point difference between the three applications.
Dianne Edwards asked if we were required to prioritize and if not did we make
them less competitive by prioritizing rather than submitting them without
prioritization. Ruben stated that it was not a requirement to prioritize but an
option. The PIC elected to adopt that option at the last PIC meeting to give local
control to the PIC in terms of what our community needs are instead of leaving it
up to the State to decide.
Don Natenstedt moved for approval and Bob Cashman seconded. Tom Kurtz
and Jan Billings abstained. The motion passed.

JTPA MANAGER'S REPORT
1. Legislative Update - Marge Pritchard stated that she had a call into one of
the elective official's Legislative Analyst with information from Washington
but the call was not received before the meeting. She stated that the
Conference Committee is meeting and there is supposed to be some
version of a Workforce Development Bill by late tonight. She stated that if
we don't hear something soon, it will probably be after the November
elections. Marge stated that this doesn't sound good because the
appropriations are being chopped away but we are still held to all the
mandates of the existing programs and asked to fold in Welfare to Work
and School -to- Career. She stated that she told the representative from
Senator Feinstein's office who attended the One Stop dedication that we
needed legislation to move us forward and to know what direction we are
going to start planning for next year.
Bob Cashman stated that he had talked to Congressman Kim who
understood that the vouchers was deadlocked and didn't see any
movement in that area.
2. 1996 Allocations - Marge Pritchard handed out the allocation chart
showing figures received from the State EDD office and stated that there
is the possibility that these funds could increase because of carryover
funds or reallocations when the State recaptures from those service
delivery areas or private industry councils who have not spent up to the
mandated percentage rate. She stated that this chart shows where we
are to date and what we are planning to work with next year. She stated
that this is the JTPA Budget that will be going to City Council for approval
on June 11, 1996.

3. Welfare to Work - Marge Pritchard stated that this item was going to be
on the consent calendar requesting a support letter from the PIC to apply
for the 40% funds that are being reserved for the welfare work program
originally due this week; however, she received a letter from the State
extending the deadline an extra 30 days. She stated that she would be
bringing this back to the Executive Committee and full PIC at the June
meeting. She stated that we would be doing two things; we will be part of
a collaborative grant and in support of one of the three SDAs to be the
grant recipient. She stated that these funds are discretionary Governor
funds and represented 40% of the 100% allocated for dislocated workers.
She stated that $3.5 million has been reserved for this and a piece of that
is what we are looking at for funding here.
