Agenda Item 12: CETA Report Mr. ~7oe Bradshaw told the Board we are now under one system operating out of the Office of. Community Employment in Raleigh. As of Friday, the existence of a consortium was recognized and we are entering into contracts on behalf of Orange County and Durham County. The Office of Community Employment is providing funding for two weeks while they are waiting final allocations from the Department of Labor. Mr. Brads"air believes the county will receive an allotment similar to the one received in fiscal year 197-77. LJe have hired Ronnie Warner as Director and we are looking at office space on Churton Street in Hillsborough-and Franklin Street in Chapel Hill. Orange County has net lost clients in the transition to the Orange-Durham operations. Tn Title I, persons are continuing classroom training at Alamance Tech and at Durham Tech. In Title VI, there will be approximately 33 people continued for the next two weeks. We expect everything in Title VI to remain at its present level. Currently, approximately 28 people are working on Title VI. We are getting money for 33 slots, but administrative costs are taken'~from these funds. Mr. Bradshaw said today we needed to set up a priority system that would take effect after release of the hiring freeze. Commissioner Pinney asked what would happen if action was delayed again after this two week period. Mr. Bradshaw replied, we should establish our year long priorities. Currently, we h.ave•a general idea of funds available for Titles I and III, but we will not be able to tell about Title VI until the hiring freeze is lifted. Commissioner Pinney asked how we could establish a priority system without knowing the number of jobs we would be allowed. Commissioner Gustaveson said we should be allocated between 1 - 33 positions. If we determine priorities and allocations to participating units, they will have some idea how to plan. Commissioner Willhoit asked haw guidelines for division between municipalities and counties were developed. Mr. Bradshaw replied there is no central policy far governmental unit distribution. Commissioner Willhoit asked if administrative support should be considered before job slots. Mr. Bradshaw said these slots would be funded one way or the other; thus, he recorrunended funding through regular CETA client money. Commissioner Willhoit said he .felt administrative costs should come out of the base program instead of the participants share. The County Manager said we can spend only 15~ of the grant on administrative processes. As the overall budget is small, this is somewhat of a safety valve that helps us come within administrative guidelines.
