ITEM TITLE: DESIGNATING THE LANE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AS
THE CHIEF ELECTED OFFICIAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE WORK FORCE INVESTMENT ACT OF 2000.
ACTION
REQUESTED:
Approve/not approve the proposed Designation Agreement between the
governments of Lane County and the cities of Eugene and Springfield.
ISSUE
STATEMENT:
The proposed agreement continues Lane County’s active oversight role of the
Workforce Partnership Board (formerly known as the Southern Willamette Private
Industry Council – SWPIC) and eliminates the need for all three governing bodies
to take action when the Work Force Investment Act requires action by the “Chief
Elected Official”. This proposed agreement again designates the Chair of the Lane
County Board of Commissioners to serve as “Chief Elected Official” of the Work
Force Partnership Board.
ATTACHMENTS: Attachment 1: Background Memorandum dated September 7, 2000 to Gino
Grimaldi, Assistant City Manager from Joe Leahy, Office of City Attorney
Attachment 2: Designation Agreement between Lane County and the Cities of
Eugene and Springfield (The Designation Agreement).
DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
The existing intergovernmental agreement regarding the Workforce Partnership
Board allows any local elected serving on the Board to take action as the “Chief
Elected Official” for the purpose of meeting the requirements of the Work Force
Investment Act. This IGA expires June 30, 2012. Under the terms of the proposed
agreement, the Chair of the Lane County Board of Commissioners acts as the
“Chief Elected Official”. Authority is limited in that the Board of Commissioners
may act only upon the consent of the cities of Springfield and Eugene. The
proposed agreement terminates on June 30, 2015.
