The purpose of the meeting was to evaluate the involvement of Oakland County in manpower programs under the Federal Manpower Sharing Program. The initial steps necessary to make such an evaluation were discussed. Oakland County has been declared eligible to be funded in the amount of $75,000 for the purpose of creating .a plan to participate in the Manpower Programs under the Department of Labor. After consider- able discussion and review of information furnished by the Board of Auditors, it was agreed that an appli- cation for an 'Operational Planning Grant" in the amount of $75,000 will be developed and -processed. Also, it was unanimously agreed that the Committee shall present a resolution to the Board of Commissioners recommending that the County apply for the grant, It was also unanimously agreed that when and if the funds are approved, this Special Manpower Committee will act as the reviewing body to make recommendations to the full Board for final authorization for expenditure of funds for the intended purpose. Miscellaneous Resolution #6453 involves the Ancillary Manpower Board chaired by Mary Dearborn. Under this resolution Oakland County would be the prime sponsor the Michigan Economic Opportunity Office Manpower Programs. As prime sponsor all funds due the contracting agencies for services would be channeled through Oakland County and we would have the responsibility and control of finances for these programs. Since the State- Office is responsible for funding of M.E.0.0. programs in Oakland County and has been previously notified of this intent, it is their decision that this resolution be passed at the earliest possible time, in order that the contracting agencies are able to maintain their funding. In view at this State decision, this Committee agreed that the County was obligated and voted unanimously to recommend approval of this resolution to the Board of Commissioners.
