Committee forwards workforce development ordinance to full board as committee report
Summary
The Rules Committee voted to forward an ordinance establishing a Workforce Development department and directing the Director of Economic and Workforce Development to manage general fund workforce expenditures and a citywide funding allocation plan to the full Board of Supervisors for consideration.
The Rules Committee forwarded to the Board of Supervisors an ordinance that would add a new chapter (Chapter 30) to the Administrative Code to create a Workforce Development (or successor) department. The ordinance tasks the Director of Economic and Workforce Development with managing all general fund workforce development expenditures, establishing citywide workforce policy and developing a funding allocation plan for workforce funds.
Supervisor Mercarimi said prior hearings showed strong support for the proposal and that the amendments made during the review process had addressed procedural concerns, so the committee moved the ordinance to the full board as a committee report (scheduled for November 13). No public comment was recorded in the committee discussion at this meeting.
Next steps: the ordinance will appear on the Board of Supervisors agenda for further consideration and possible amendment by the full board.
