Commission renews chief elected-officials agreement to remain in Southeast Kansas Works workforce area
Summary
Miami County approved renewing its chief elected officials agreement with Southeast Kansas Works (Local Workforce Development Area 5), maintaining county participation in the 17-county workforce area; motion passed unanimously.
The Miami County Commission voted May 21 to approve and sign the chief elected officials agreement to remain a participant in Southeast Kansas Works, Kansas Local Workforce Development Area No. 5, a multi-county workforce-development consortium.
A presenter explained the region is organized into 17 counties and that Miami County is in Region 3 for certain regional representation with Lynn, Bourbon and Crawford counties. The agreement continues the county's participation and preserves the county's ability to appoint a representative to the regional chief elected officials board.
Why it matters: The Southeast Kansas Works organization administers federal and state-funded workforce programs; continued county participation keeps Miami County eligible for regional workforce services and representation in regional decisions.
Commissioner Vaughn moved to approve the agreement; Commissioner Vickrey seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The county's representative to the chief elected officials board will continue to coordinate local workforce-development needs with the Southeast Kansas Works administrative body.
