Item No. 6: Consideration and Possible Action on Local Elected Official Consortium Agreement Workforce Investment Act Southwestern Workforce Investment Area Burns Flat, Oklahoma, Kathie Price, SW Workforce Investment Board.

Chairman Clinton introduced Kathie Price, representative from the Southwest Workforce Investment Board. She explained that the Workforce Investment Board consists of all County Commissioners and Lead Mayors. She continued by stating that Federal Law mandates that certain businesses from the public sector be appointed. Once that has been done, they can continue by appointing businesses from the private sector. The private sector must exceed the public sector. The board is required to review all areas receiving workforce investment funds. She continued by stating that each area has one designated chief local official. Currently serving for this area is Tim Bingham. She explained that the board receives information from private sector businesses in order to determine the most in-demand occupations. Currently the occupations which are most in demand are anything in the medical service field, truck drivers, skilled or licensed in the oil field, science and math education.

Chairman Clinton inquired of the location of the training, who may qualify, who decides where that person may receive the training. Ms. Price responded by stating that there are several eligible training providers such as the Southwest Technology Center, certain colleges or proprietary schools, but all training locations must meet the criteria. She stated that the students may choose where to train, but the school must be on the list and the funds must be available, or the student may have to pay the difference. She explained that typically the program is for individuals who have been laid off and need to be trained in other areas in order to find work, but they do have programs for over 18 and a youth program which helps high school students graduate and continue on to higher education.

A motion was made by Fixico and seconded by Carrell to approve the agreement as presented.
