For Discussion
SUBJECT: LVN Program/Participant Support
PROPOSED MOTION(S): The Executive Committee review and discuss how to supportthe Merced College LVN cohort beginning in January of 2010, and take action torecommend the preferred option to the Workforce Investment Board.
DISCUSSION: The Department of Workforce Investment has supported the MercedCollege LVN Program most recently with the help of a Department of Labor grant. Thegrant paid for a college instructor and support services for participants to cover the costof books, supplies, license fees and other necessary items. A key component/purpose ofthe grant was to build capacity for LVN training in the future. This grant will notsupport succeeding cohorts after the end of December 2009. There is an LVN cohortscheduled to begin in January 2010. Merced College has been hit with budget cuts in therecent past, and has asked the Workforce Investment Board (WIB) to help support theLVN Program. Traditionally, the WIB has supported the program by contributing to thecost of instructors and/or giving support services to participants. The college has statedthey are able to pay for instructors to teach 44 LVN students. The WIB is faced with adecision to help pay for an instructor and/or help students pay for support serviceexpenses as mentioned. On average, support services generally cost about $5000 perparticipant in the LVN Program; for example, support services for 10 LVN participantswould cost approximately $50,000.

Re: Alternative Analysis Comment for EIR/EIS on the HST San Jose to Merced SegmentPresented at the October 2009 Merced Public Meeting
Dear Mr. Leavitt:
The Workforce Investment Board of Merced County is a supporter of the statewideCalifornia High-Speed Rail system and maintains that the Henry Miller/152 route (attachedMap slide 12 of 13) is the most efficient route for crossing the San Joaquin Valley andaccessing the Merced Station and proposed maintenance facility. We uphold this route dueto the following:
It is the most direct route across the Central Valley from Highway 99 to thePacheco Pass Subsection.
It has fewer impacts to wildlife migration corridors in the western Merced Countyfoothills (such as for the San Joaquin kit fox).
It minimizes conflicts to the wetland area with elevated tracks through theGrasslands Ecological Area.
It is the most flexible en route selection over Pacheco Pass. It avoids conflicts with Interstate 5, Highway 33 and major canal systems. It is consistent with proposed development plans and meets the development
principals of speed (straight line), costs (because of existing rights-of-way) andintermodal connection (because of the proximity to the Merced Station).
It’s the only alternative that uses existing east-west roadways for most of theroute:
o Henry Miller Road from Santa Nella to its eastern terminus on “Red”alignment;
o Runs along Highway 152 following the new “Blue” alignment; ando Connects with new “Gold” alignment at the “Wye” favored by the City of
Chowchilla with connection to Highway 99 “Red” route north intoMerced’s preferred station site, and to the BNSF “Pink” route to Fresno onthe south.
The High Speed Rail (Henry Miller/152) route not only provides the least environmentalimpact, but overall is necessary for proper planning. The planning involved is not just for thenext couple of years but for the next 20 to 30 years in order for California’s economy tothrive. The types of jobs created by this project are classified as high wage/high growth jobsand in tune with the Merced County Workforce Investment Board’s selected industry clusterof “transportation and logistics”. We are prepared to be a part of the solution that willprovide a capable and skilled workforce for this project.
Thank you for taking the time to review and include these comments into your report, wecontinue to appreciate the opportunity to provide community input and be supportive of thismuch needed transportation system. Please call me at 209-724-2008 or email me [email protected] if you have any questions regarding this letter or would like furtherclarification.
Respectfully,
Albert MontejanoChairman

SUBJECT: Participant Report
PROPOSED MOTION(S): Information only.
DISCUSSION: Attached is a participant report for the time period July 2009 to August 2009,which reflects the number of participants enrolled and exited (and how they entered and exitedthe programs) within specific grant codes. Each year a modification to the WorkforceInvestment Board 5-Year Strategic Plan is submitted with projected participant numbers.Due to the President’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 and Statewaivers filed, there has been no modification to the 5-Year Strategic Plan filed for this year todate. The attached report is a comparison of the actual participant numbers with 16.67% ofthe program year expended and tentative projections, which include additional participantsfor ARRA funding. The projections/format may change depending on the format the Statechooses to use in their Strategic Plan modification template.
This report is a monthly “snapshot” of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) programs. Non-WIA services and supportive services reflect other trainings and services where WIA fundswere used to help participants with supplies, materials, transportation, childcare and othernecessary expenses allowed by the WIA.

3) ROP Marketing Working Professional Curriculum revisions and updates were approved
by a local advisory committee meeting on April 23, 2009. The EMPOWER staff invited H.R.
representatives from several business in Merced to gain input and recommendations on
interviewing questions, résumés and portfolios that can best assist our EMPOWER participants
in both individual and panel job interviews. The recommendations were valuable and
incorporated into our EMPOWER employability workshops.
4) EMPOWER Success Story:
Tiffany Solis enrolled into the Empower program when she was at a crossroads in her
life. She was pregnant and unsure of what path she needed to follow. Through the
assessments and career search, Tiffany decided she wanted to enroll into the Merced
College Medical Assistant Program. After the birth of her baby girl, Tiffany began the
long road to reach her goal as a Medical Assistant. Tiffany had barriers to overcome, but
were temporary; she stayed focused in order to complete her Medical Assistant course in
2008. Tiffany loved the externship site where she was placed, but due to budget cuts they
were unable to hire her. Tiffany then came to her EMPOWER advisor for the
opportunity to do work experience. She was placed at Merced Faculty Associate’s Urgent
Care facility; she was a quick study and soon was transferred to the new MFA Cancer
Center and was hired full time in March 2009. Tiffany loves her job at the Cancer Center
and hopes to enjoy a long career there.
