Great Western Reclamation's goals in developing the Santa Ana Material Recovery <br /> Facility are complementary to these: <br /> • Hire locally--we want new personnel to be Santa Ana <br /> residents, optimally from the community proximate to the <br /> facility. <br /> • Recruit individuals from high risk populations through <br /> programs for the physically disabled and gang <br /> intervention. <br /> • Work with the City of Santa Ana to be a resource for <br /> existing partnership training and employment programs. <br /> • Maximize use and create success stories of programs <br /> developed by the City and Private Industry Council, such <br /> as applicant screening and on the job training. <br /> In addition to our goals for hiring the Santa Ana MRF employees, we have four other <br /> goals supportive of the City's employment and economic interests: <br /> • Contract with local contractors and equipment suppliers. <br /> • Purchase support services and supplies locally. <br /> • Maximize use of MBE/WBE firms. <br /> • Work cooperatively with Santa Ana to develop the MRF as <br /> part of the new Enterprise Zone program. <br /> Our existing MBE/WBE policy, advocating the use of disadvantaged business <br /> enterprises, will also be carried forward for the. Material Recovery Facility. <br /> Finally, Santa Ana's successful bid for an enterprise zone designation must go a step <br /> further and be proven. We see the Santa Ana Material Recovery Facility, which is located <br /> in the enterprise zone, as a premiere opportunity for another form of public-private joint <br /> venture. We will step forward to work with the City and make the enterprise zone a <br /> working, tangible instrument of growth and revitalization worthy of nationwide acclaim. <br /> 7 <br />
