122 9. City Council Committee Reports LAVWMA/TWA ABAG ACAP/ACTEB Alameda County Waste Management Authority Alameda County Transportation Plan Committee Fertile Crescent Study Mayor's Affordable Housing Task Force Tri-Valley Transportation Council League of California Cities Ms. Mohr updated on ACTEB, the Alameda County Training and Employment Board. Initially when ACTEB was dissolved, because of Berkeley's withdrawing from it, the County was designated as the recipient of the federal funds to keep the program running. The cities indicated they would probably be able to support that if the County kept the cities involved in a decision making capacity. The county did not indicate a willingness or interest initially, so most of the cities in the County formed its own consortium. Subsequent to that, the cities received an indication from the County that it was willing to create a place for the cities in the decision making process. On that basis the County has asked the cities to withdraw the request to receive federal funds. It is a workable plan and with some reluctance Ms. Mohr voted with the majority of the cities to move forward with the County plan. Ms. Mohr indicated this looks like the most reasonable course of action available to the City under the circumstances and she requested that the Council support it. Mayor Mercer agreed and indicated the important thing in this downturn in the economy for us to be training people and coming up with programs to re-train people to get them back into the economy. Mr. Tarver reported that the East Bay League of California Cities supports the concept. 10. Matters Continued for Decision There were none. 11. Legislative Update Reports There were none. ii/ig/gi 14
