Titles II-D and VI TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners by Miscellaneous Resolution NO. 6546 applied for and was granted the designation as Prime Sponsor by the U.S. Department of Labor to administer the provisions of the Comprehensive EMployment and Training Act of 1973; and WHEREAS on August 9, 1979 the Oakland County Board of Commissioners by Resolution No. 9097 approved the Prime Sponsor to submit a waiver application for P.S.E participants in C.E.T.A. Titles II-D and VI to the U.S. Department of Labor for its review and consideration for approval; and WHEREAS the waiver request procedures were subsequently changed according to C.E.T.A. Letter 79-88 which was received by the Prime Sponsor on August 20, 1979 (Attachment A); and WHEREAS any modifications to the original request had to be received by the Department of Labor no later than August 31, 1979 according to C.E.T.A. Letter 79-88; and WHEREAS the City of POntiac requested that the portions of the original waiver request that related to the City of Pbntiac be rewritten to correspond to the new procedures (Attachment B); and WHEREAS the time frame mandated by the U.S. Department of Labor did not allow sufficient time for the modified waiver request to be reviewed by the Public Services Committee and the Oakland County Board of Cbmmissioners before it was submitted to the U.S. Department of Labor. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approve the modified waiver request as submitted to the U.S. Department of Labor. RE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners be and is hereby authorized to execute said application. The Public Services Committee, by Henry William Hoot, Chairman, moves the adoption of the foregoing resolution. Attachment A Original Waiver Procedures No more than 35% of the participants covered by a waiver request may remain employed after 9 months. Revised Waiver Procedures No more than 35% of the participants covered by a waiver request may remain employed after 9 months except when: A. The unemployment rate of an area exceeds 12%, the employment growth rate for that area is generally lower than the national average, and the Prime Sponsor can demonstrate that it is experiencing severe difficulty in transitioning these participants into unsubsidized employment. If all of these conditions are met, up to 80% of the participants covered by the waiver request of that area may remain employed for 9 months. The City of Pontiac has an unemployment rate of 13.7%, an employment growth rate below that of the national average, and is experiencing severe difficulty in transit ioning its PSE participants into unsubsidized employment. Therefore, the City of Pontiac meets the mandated requirements to retain up to 80% of its total waiver population for up to 9 months. Pontiac's initial waiver request indicated that approximately 35% of the participants covered by the waiver would still be employed under CETA up to 9 months. The revised waiver request of the City of Pontiac indicates that approximately 78% of its participants covered by the waiver request will still be employed after 9 months. • - ATTACHMENT B "A.,.
