FILE NUMBER
Appoint private sector member Ms. Stacey Sanchez, Executive Director,
Southern California Reinvestment Community Development Financial
Institution, as an Economic Development Representative on the Santa Ana
Workforce Investment Board.
WORKFORCE INVESMENT BOARD RECOMMENDATION
At its regular meeting of January 18, 2008, by a vote of 18:0 (Chapman,
Didion, Figueroa, Fischer, Lacroix, Martinez, Metzler, Oakes, Ortega,
Pina, Ray, Wadhera, Ward, Zarate absent), the Workforce Investment Board
recommended that the City Council appoint private sector member Ms.
Stacey Sanchez, Executive Director, Southern California Reinvestment
Community Development Financial Institution, as an Economic Development
Representative on the Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board.
DISCUSSION
On March 6, 2000, the Santa Ana City Council adopted a resolution
establishing the Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board and appointed 35
members. In accordance with the federal legislation, a majority of the
Board members and the Board Chair must come from the private sector. The
remaining Board members represent education, non-profit organizations,
one-stop mandated partners, and local labor organizations.
Currently, there is one private sector Economic Development
Representative on the Board. However, SB293, effective in January 2007,
requires local boards to have more than one Board member appointed to the
economic development category. As a representative of the Southern
California Reinvestment Community Development Financial Institution, Ms.
Sanchez fulfills the requirements for this membership category.
