DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:

 

It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors appoint Tim Healer as a Business Representative to the Workforce Development Board (WDB) of Solano County, for a term to expire on June 30, 2022, as required under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).

 

SUMMARY:

 

The Board of Supervisors, as the local elected official authorized under §107(b)(1) of the 2014 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and as described on page 2 of the Bylaws of the WDB of Solano County, Article VI-Section C. Selection of Directors, appoint representatives to the Board of Directors of the WDB. The WDB Board of Directors approved the above named nominee at their May 18, 2018 Board meeting.

 

Based on the technical certification, membership nomination, application and supplemental application (Attachment A), as well as WDB Board action, Mr. Healer can now be considered for formal ratification by the Board of Supervisors as the newest representative on the Board of Directors of the WDB.

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

 

This action has no financial impact. The WDB is fully grant funded and receives no County General Funds.

 

DISCUSSION:

 

Mr. Healer began his banking career in 2006 with Umpqua Bank and has worked in the banking industry for 12 years. He started out on the front lines as a personal banker and was promoted to business development officer. He left Umpqua Bank in 2012 to join California Bank of Commerce as a Jr. Commercial Lender with a focus in the San Francisco Market. After his first year, he was promoted to a VP Commercial Lender.  In 2015, he had an opportunity to join Bank of the West and work as a VP Commercial Lender on their national wine and beverage team headquartered in Napa, CA. Mr. Healer is currently the VP Commercial Lender of Solano County for First Northern Bank after having joined their organization in December of 2017.

 

After a technical review of his application documents, Mr. Healer has been found to be in compliance with the regulatory requirements governing the Business Representative category for the Workforce Development Board membership appointment. Mr. Healer will serve a term of office from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2022.

 

With this appointment, as recommended in this report, the WDB will have 23 of its 25 membership seats filled. The remaining vacant seats are due to the departure of Debbie Antonsen who served as the Wagner-Peyser Representative on both WIB and now the WDB. Staff has identified Ms. Antonsen’s successor and will present a new member nomination for appointment at the July 20, 2018 WDB Board meeting. Staff is currently looking to identify a Business Representative to fill the other vacancy.

 

ALTERNATIVES:

 

At this time, Mr. Healer is the only qualified applicant that the WDB has received to fill the Business seat on the Board. The Board of Supervisors could request that the WDB conduct further outreach and seek additional applicants; however, this is not recommended as the WDB considers Mr. Healer an excellent candidate to serve as a member of the Board of Directors.

 

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:

 

Debi Tavey, President/CEO of the Fairfield-Suisun Chamber of Commerce, provided the nomination of behalf of Mr. Healer.
