Council concurs with Upper Shore Workforce MOU and resource-sharing agreement; no county funds requested
Summary
Talbot County council unanimously concurred with a mandated memorandum of understanding and resource-sharing agreement presented by the Upper Shore Workforce Investment Board; the presenter said the countys concurrence is procedural and does not request county funds.
Ellen Leanki, who introduced herself as executive director of the Upper Shore Workforce Investment Board, asked the council to concur with a required memorandum of understanding and resource-sharing agreement that governs local workforce partners and financial contributions.
"We are not asking for funds from the county," Leanki told the council during her presentation on May 12. She said the memorandum is required by the governor's workforce development board policy and aligns local partners such as the Department of Labor, Division of Rehabilitation Services, Department of Social Services, Talbot County Department of Social Services and Chesapeake College.
Council member motioned and the council voted unanimously to record concurrence, with the county secretary calling the roll of votes. The secretary indicated the motion passed with votes recorded as "I" from each listed council member.
County staff said the resource-sharing agreement outlines participating agencies' financial and in-kind contributions and that partner agencies have indicated concurrence. The council approved the concurrence as requested; staff said signed forms would be returned to the board this week.
