A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR TO APPLY TO THE GOVERNOR FOR
DESIGNATION AS A WORKFORCE
INVESTMENT AREA AND APPOINTING THE
PRIVATE INDUSTRY COUNCIL AS THE
INTERIM WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD
WHEREAS, the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (H.R. 1385) was signed into law on
August 7, 1998, and will become effective on July 1, 2000. The Workfome Investment Act shall
consolidate numerous training programs into three block grants: an adult employment and training
grant, a youth activities grant, and a dislocated workers grant. These block grants will replace the
Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs with one-stop career centers as the delivery system
for such grants;
WHEREAS, the Workforce Investment Act defines what areas qualify for designation as
Workforce Investment Areas. Service Delivery Areas with populations over 500,000 (Orange
County) are automatically designated. However, in order for the City of Santa Ana, a Service
Delivery Area with a population between 200,000 and 499,000, to receive the designation and
thereby preclude the County from automatically taking over its programs, the local elected official
must apply to the Governor to request temporary designation and the local Workforce Investment
Board must be appointed;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA:
1. Authorizes the Mayor to apply to the Governor for the City of Santa Aha to be designated
as a Workforce Investment Area.
2. Appoints the Private Industry Council as the interim Workforce Investment Board to
respond to any transitional directives, both State and Federal, that may occur prior to the final
Workforce Investment Area designation by the State.
