DISCUSSION
In May 2002, the Santa Ana Empowerment Corporation Board approved a four-
year business plan that identified three specific goals and obj ecti ves
that they wished to see achieved. One of the three goals concerned job
development, training, and job placement for Empowerment Zone residents.
In 2003, the Board sent out a Request for Proposals to over 50 entities
for the development and implementation of a Daisy Wheel component. The
Daisy Wheel Network is comprised of eight partners that provide
employment services to FEZ residents, such as employment listings, career
advisement, training services, job search assistance, non-subsidized
employment, retention services, skill upgrades, plus many others. The
Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center was awarded the contract. In the first, second,
and third year, the W/O/R/K Center developed and implemented a job
training and placement program in conjunction with nine partners.
On May 24, 2006, the Santa Ana Empowerment Corporation Board awarded a
contract for a fourth year to the City of Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center in an
amount of $ 98 0,000. The contract is to fund Phase IV of the Federal
Empowerment Zone Daisy Wheel Network that will service 800 residents
living within the Empowerment Zone. The Daisy Wheel Network will
continue to provide vocational/occupational training, employment
strategies, education, and supportive services for the participants. The
Santa Ana W /O/R/K Center will receive $ 4 0 1,320 to provide oversight of
the Daisy Wheel Network, cover administrative and operational costs, and
