Richard E. Keisterassociate legislative director

In an intensive two-daylobbying campaign iri WashingtonD.C., more than 25 county officialsand state association executivesfrom 11 states contacted more than200 congressional offices to ask forrepresentatives to co-sponsor HX.1495, a bill introduced byRepresentatives Pat Williams (D-Pont.) and Wayne Owens (D-Utah) to increase the Payments-in-Lieu-of-Taxes (PILT) Program,The effort, conducted in the midstof one of Washington's steamiestheat waves, produced another 20congressional co-sponsors to add to

Peter Kenney, chair, PublicLands Steering Committee

the 48 already on the bill.In addition, at least three more

senators were added to the counter-

part bill in the Senate, S. 140. Thatbill was introduced by Senators

Timothy Wirth (D-Colo.) and PeteDomenici (R-N.M.). There are

now 45 co-sponsors in the Senate.

Peter Kenney, chair of NACo'sPublic Lands Steering Committee,who led the effort, said, "In a shorttwo days we picked up 20 newcommitments on HX. 1495 and

were able to educate more than 100representatives from across thenation as to why PILT is importantto county governments. Ourlobbying teams did an outstandingjob and covered a lot of territory."

The effort was kicked offat the

NACo headquarters when Rep.Williams addressed the officialsand executives about the need for a

strong effort to convince Congressthat now is the time to restore thePILTProgram to fullvalue. He said

that the cost ofservices provided bycounties to public lands areas isinvaluable. However, the federal

government has not adjusted thepayments to counties in 14 years,resulting in a PILTProgram whosevalue is less than half of whenenacted in 1976.

Over two days, two-memberlobbying teams talked tocongressmen and their staffs andleft each congressional office witha packet of information on HX.1495. In addition, current co-sponsors'ffices were visited tothank them for their support.

Kenney, Pete Coleman,presi-'ent

of the Western InterstateRegion from rJtah, and WIR Boardmember, George Enneking fromIdaho, also met. with representa-tives of Interior Secretary ManuelLujan's office to explain the PILTissue and ask for the Administra-tion's support. They also visitedBureau of Land Management Di-rector, Cy Jamison, who expressed

sympathy for bringing the program

'j Leader's Forum,,'";"„"'..;, What we'e learned —a repertory

of things that workBy D. Michael Stewart

NACo president

y~:,''.: One optimistic view oflife is that there is a remedyfor everything ifman couldjust find it. Ifwe experimentlong enough, it is assumedthat solutions for acommunity or nation's illswill surface and everythingwillbe all right.

For more officials ingovernment the luxury ofexperimenting is notavailable. Time, abundantfinancial resources andconstituent patience are noton their side. Consequently,the best advice for them is to rely on others'xperience until youcan afford to experiment!

What have we learned in the last several decades that reallyworks to lift the level of life, government and outlook for acommunity?

There are 11 practices of programs that work and go beyondthe realm of experimentation. Experience is on their side.

~Fir Form a business and government alliance to seek andsolve on a continuing basis issues and problems of governmentand the community.

Second: Seek collaboration among entities of governmentsuch as schools, service districts, municipalities, states andcounties who rely on tax dollars.

~Thir Communicate remdarlv throueh conferences andtrainina nromams with your counterparts. Someone always hasa better way or idea.

Fourth: Use technoloav. Whether it's processing parkingtickets, credit card integrated human services, or road base, it'a resource saver.

F~if Call for volunteers. Regular citizen service whereresidents spend four to fivehours a week in an advisory or servicedelivery capacity has maintained service, saved money, andbrought a spirit of community to government.

5iixh Job trainine oromams are among the best economicdevelopment and human resource generating opportunitiesavailable.

Seventh: Head Start nroerams demonstrate a startling returnon youth investment —so startling that they willlikelynever bereduced, only expanded.

Eiahth: Alternatives to incarceration work. Bricks, bars andbail are the back-end of the justice system. Diversion to otherprograms is front-end. Restitution in lieu of incarceration,electronic monitoring and home sentencing are cost-effective.

5iinh Neighborhood Watch nroerams (eye and ears) are to acommunity what a deadbolt is to a door.

~Tn Mentors. a trusted advisor to a youth, someone introuble or even someone new on the job is a human resourcewhich spares untold financial resources.

Eleventh: Invest in prevention rather than picking up thepieces. Its only shortcoming is that by investing inprevention onenever knows what he preventedl

Twelfth: Do all the above!There are no easy solutions to the difficulties of doing the

public's business, no best ointment to salve every rash. A publicofficialcan make a lotofmistakes before he or she gets a chanceto succeed. Using the above tools raises the likelihood of successin office. They are axiomatic, accepted as ger ral truths. Whilemuch is left to trial and error these experiments have worked andare in the category of good experience.

There is no royal road to doing government, but these arepaving stones and milestones to make the way easier. These area bag oftricks, a repertory, indeed a recipe forbetter government.

Congress takes first step towardreauthorizing highway program

systems, and other eligibleprojects. The federal match wouldbe 80-20 in most cases. Each statewould receive a share equal to thepercent of federal highway funds itreceived from 1987-91 (other thaninterstate construction andsubstitution programs).

In dividing up this money withina state,75 percent would be dividedbetween areas of a state withpopulations over 250,000 and non-attainment areas with populationsover 50,000 and all other areas withpopulations below that level inproportion to their relative share ofthe population.

The remaining 25 percent wouldbe spent by the state in any area itchose. Decisions on projects andproject funding would be made bythe state and metropolitan planningorganizations in urbanized areasand by the states in non~etro-politan areas. The new programalso removes many of the federaldesign and construction standards.

~ Bridge Program —Thisprogram is continued at anincreased funding level of $2.4billion, up from the current level of$ 1.6 billion and increasing to $3.0billion in 1996. The federal match,in most cases, willbe 80-20. Whilethe bill continues to allow up to 35percent of the bridge funds to bespent off-system, it eliminates themandatory 15 percent minimumoff-system requirement. Also, alevel of service formula replacesthe sufficiency rating system as abasis forapportioning bridge funds.

~ Congestion Mitigation andAir Quality ImprovementProgram —This program isdesigned to help areas over 50,000population comply with the CleanAir Act. It is funded at $ 1 billionannually for five years for projectswhich achieve the goal of reducing

pollution. The federal match is20 and is apportioned to s

based on their non-attainmentpopulation, adjusted forseverity of the non-attainmproblem.

~ Interstate maintenanceThis program replacesInterstate 4-R Program, althouglwould prohibit the widening,existing interstate highways, tail I

it was for HOV lanes. Fun '!would be $2.5 billion in 1% I

increasing to $ 3.3 billionin 1991I

~ Interstate constructionOver five years, $ 1.8 billiannually would be be provided I

By Bob Fogelassociate legislative director

The Senate Environment andPublic.Works Committee, on May22, adopted by a 15-1 vote ahighway reauthorization bill. Thisis Congress'irst step inreauthorizing the federal SurfaceTransportation Program.

S. 965 is a fairly dramaticdeparture from the current federal-aid highway program. It does awaywith many of the existingcategorical programs and providesa great. deal of flexibility to thestates and, to an extent, to localgovernments in terms ofwhat typesof transportation projects will befunded.

The legislation provides a total of$89 billionin funding over the five-year authorization period 1992-96.It differs from the president'ssurface transportation proposal,most pointedly, by not including a150,000-mile national highway-system and by not reducing thefederal, match to 60-40 as thepresident has requested formany ofthe federal programs.

The following -are the mainfeatures of the Senate bill:

~ Surface Transportation,Program —This .is the keycomponent in the legislation. Itwould receive 50 percent of thefunds authorized over the next fiveyears, ranging from $7.3 billion in1992 to $ 12.3 billion in 1996. Thisprogram essentially replaces theprimary, secondary and urbanprograms.,

The funds could be used forhighways, on- and off-systembridges, and mass transit, as well asfor commuter rail, high occupancyvehicle (HOV), lanes, carpoolprograms, magnetic levitation

Congress approves budget,begins allocating FY92 funds

By Kathy Grampbudget analyst

Congress sharpened its focus onthe FY92 budget, approving both a

concurrent budget resolution and

House appropriation "allocations"on May 22.

Two spending bills immediatelywent to the House floor, withappropriations for Energy andWater passing on May 29, and

MilitaryConstruction on May 30.On the surface, the resolution

and House allocations have muchin common. They propose the same

amounts for discretionaryprograms, adhering to the caps inlast year's budget agreement.

Lawmakers left the "pay-as-you-go" rules for entitlementsintact, rejecting a Senate proposalthat would have barred taxes as a

source of financing for newinitiatives.

Both blueprints assign toppriority to areas important tocounty governments, but to varyingdegrees.

House appropriators temperedthe proposed surge in spending forthe departments of Labor, Healthand Human Services (HHS) and

Education, allowing a five percentrise over FY91, compared to aboutseven percent in the resolution.Redistributing the increasesallowed the committee to spreadthe growth more evenly.

The ease with which Congress„.drew up these plans belies the

difficulties ahead.

While the cap on domesticdiscretionary spending allowsbudget authority to keep pace withinflation, the outlay cap falls about$4 billion short of inflation-adjusted "baseline" needs.

The budget resolution couldskirt this issue by assumingunspecified cuts, but the spendingbills approved by theappropriations committees mustreflect the more sobering bottomline.

Appropriators that handlecounty programs will see theeffects of this outlay squeeze.

Budget authority allocated to

/'he

Veterans Affairs (VA)Housing and Urban Development(HUD) Subcommittee exceedsinflation needs by $ 1 billion;Labor-HHS by $700 million;Commerce-Justice by $400million; and Transportation and

Agriculture by $200 millioneach.

Yet in all of these areas, the

outlay allocations cannot support"baseline" spending, let aloneincreases for new initiatives.

For Labor and HHS, allowableoutlays are $ 1.3 billion (or twopercent) below baseline needs.

Tight money will force toughtradeoffs.

The necessity to free up funds

fornew housing and environmentalinitiatives resulted in the VA-HUDsubcommittee halting funding forNASA's space station project.

Lawmakers also made steep

cuts in the request for the atom

smashing superconductingsupercollider in order to stay withinthe limits for the Energy and Waterbill.

Montrose County, Colo. cuts innovative financing dealdropped. In addition, the schooldistrict has agreed to transferownership of an elementary. school

to the county and city for future

governmental use.The package, which raises $ 12

million for the school district,results in a savings of interest of$ 8.2 million compared to a

20-year bond. In addition, it shifts

$27.5 million of school, city and

county financing from propertytaxes to sales taxes over the next 15

years."We think the plan is really

innovative," says Reed. "We'esure nothing like it has been doneelsewhere in Colorado."

By Jill Conleystaff writer

For 17 years, the RE-1J School

District in Montrose County, Colo.

was unable to persuade voters to

approve a bond issue for school

facility improvements. Allof that

changed a few months ago when

voters overwhelmingly approved

an innovative financing package

that will provide for necessary

school improvements and for the

construction and operation of a

criminal justice complex.After seven months of

negotiation, Montrose County, the

City of Montrose and the localboard of education signed an

intergovernmental agreement to

present a three-part package whichincluded a one percent city sales tax

increase, a one percent county sales

tax increase and a $4 millionschool

bond issue to the voters.In a special election in

February, 47 percent of theregistered voters turned out to

approve the package by a three-to-

one margin."Our success in getting voters

to approve the plan was largely a

matter of really going out into the

community and finding out what

was on voters'inds and then

structuring something that wouldaccommodate the vast majority ofpeople," says J. David Reed, a local

attorney who headed up the citizenscommittee that developed whatwas labeled "Three Ways to Win-The Cooperative Solution."

Established a year ago by the

local Rotary Club, the committee,to which the city council, countycommission and school districtappointed two members each,charged itself with finding a

solution that voters would support.It began its mission by holding a

series of public hearings designed

to find out what was onresidents'inds

and to educate the public

"is that people are willing tosupport things ifthey don't feel that

they have to bear a disproportionateshare of the burden." The com-

mittee also found that althoughcitizens saw the need for the im-

The NACo DeferredCompensation Program's newvariable annuity option —called

NACoVA—is being implemented

July I, 1991. At the same time, a

new fund—Putnam Voyager —is

being included in the NACoVA.Since the program was first

offered to member counties in1980, it has featured NationwideLife Insurance, Company'sDeferred Compensation VariableAnnuityknown as the DCVA. TheNACoVA also is provided byNationwide Life, exclusively forNACo's Deferred CompensationProgram.

Putnam Voyager is anaggressive growth fund, seeking

capital appreciation throughcommon stocks. The fund has a

two-tiered investment strategy:~ It seeks smaller companies

that are growing, characterized bystrong management teams andbalance sheets. These companies

have demonstrated potential forrapid growth and capitalappreciation.

~ It targets large companiesmarked by turnaround situations,

new product development andrevitalized management teams.Such companies also showincreased earnings potential and

improving profitability.Putnam Voyager outperformed

97 percent of the funds in itscategory for the five years ended

12/31/89 and ranked No. 2 amongall 74 capital appreciation fundstracked by Lipper AnalyticalServices.

Jack McHugh, chairman ofNACo's Deferred CompensationAdvisory Committee, said thatexcept for the addition of Putnam

Voyager, the NACoVA through1991 will offer the same funds as

are now included in the DCVA.Beginning Jan. 1, 1992, each

fund in the NACoVA will be

reviewed annually and monitoredon the basis of performance,administrative requirements and

other factors.Based on that monitoring

process, said McHugh, "NACowillbe able to put certain funds on

probation or even replace them, as

our analysis may dictate. Makingthis switch to the new variableannuity," he added, "will giveNACo greater flexibilityand more

control over the mutual fundswhich comprise the NACoVA."

McHugh said that new fundscan be added to the NACoVAonly if they meet qualifyingguidelines. If a county wants torecommend that a certainfund or funds be added to theNACoVA,the county should writeto: Lee Ruck, general counsel,

NACo, 440 First St., N.W.,Washington, DC 20001, andinclude the reasons why this fund is

being recommended.

When cost-cutting time comes,Evans characterizes local officialsas either enforcers, those that playstrictly by the rules, oraccommodators, those that are

more flexible. "You need to beaccommodators and you don'thaveto pay more money for it."

Other methods he recommendsinclude:

~ Re-examine the fundamentalsof what is being done.

~ Understand that countygovernment is a labor-intensivebusiness —significantimprovements will come fromfinding ways to get all the workdone with fewer people; this does

not necessarily require layoffs, butperhaps managed attrition.

~ It is important to treatemployees with care and i. Spect,

but the county government shouldbe run primarily for the citizens itscrvcs.

~ Challenge long-hek, beliefs.~ Conunissioners, supervisors

but not be bullied by them.~ Use the "blank sheet ofpaper"

approach, and the conceptual, notthe consensus method.

Demographically, America'"baby boom" generation representsone-third of the general populationand one-half of the working

As a result of the "baby bust,"

However, he feels the increase inimmigrants will fill the void."These people are making a majorcontribution."

said, and topping the list are placesin the West.

The Navajo nation is spreadover one millionacres in the West.Part of the tribe has been in San

Juan County, Utah since 1300 AD,said Mark -Maryboy,commissioner, San Juan County,Utah, himself a Navajo.

At Friday's workshop on"Native American/NativeHawaiian Issues andIntergovernmental Cooperation,"

Maryboy described therelationship between the Navajosand the government.

Since the arrival of the pioneersin the 1800s, governmentaljurisdiction has been a problem.Reservations are nations, he said,

yet Indians are also citizens of the

county, the state and the UnitedStates, and are entitled to financialhelp from the government.

problem is getting the federalgovernment to -"right what wasdone" when the United Statesannexed the republic of Hawaii in1898 and took control oftwo-thirdsof the land. "Itwas sheer robbery,"he said.

The federal government defines"substandard dwelling" as thoseliving without substantial waterand electricity. "That means 80percent of my people arehomeless."

The discovery of oil on thereservation in 1956 has been moreof a burden than a blessing, hecontinued.

'The wells generate about $700million a year, yet my people aresuffering.... I don't think the oilcompanies really care for theNavajos."

Over the past two years, thecounty has been working with thetribal elders to make changes, hesaid, and they'e had the mostsuccess through the JusticeDepartment. "We'e convinced thefederal government to establishprograms to help."

Maryboy believes the long-termsolution lies in a coalition ofcounties to work out the problemsas well as cooperativegovernmental funding. "It's the

only way we'e going to survive....When our country is donatingmoney to Third World countries, Iknow we can help the Navajos."

Bill Redd, Maryboy'scounterpart on the board ofcommissioners, feels the county is

trying to accommodate the tribe.For example, he said, 69 percent

of the county's voting electorateparticipated in the 1982 election,but the tribal leaders felt theirpeople weren't well represented.By order ofthe Justice Department,the county spent almost $80,000 torectify the situation, but the nextelection's participation rateremained around 65 percent.

As a result, itcantake longer for older people toprocess information, such asdirectional signs on roadways,when they'e driving. Prosch-Jensen suggested the concept of"positive guidance" as a potentialsolution, including larger andbrighter signs, well-maintainedpavement markings and simplifiedintersections.

She noted that the state of NewYork recently tested larger stopsigns at high frequency accidentsites. The tests resulted in a 27percent reduction in injuryaccidents —a 33 percent reductionin total accidents.

Discover "Jeeping Capital of the World" in UtahBy Nannette Larsen

(Ed. Note: This is the fourth in aseries of articles on recreationalopportunities in Utah for thoseattending Annual Conference.)

Southeastern Utah is nicknamedthe "Jeeping Capital of the World."People come from all over theworld to marvel at the red rockscenery or conquer jeeping hills thelikes of Wipe Out, White Knuckle,Steel Bender and CliffHanger.

Whether people bring their ownjeep, rent a vehicle or ride with aprofessional tour operator, theyoften return again and again toUtah's Canyonlands country andits two national parks.

Dan Mick, president of the Rcd

Rock 4-Wheelers Club in Moab,says, "About one-half of the mem-bers of our club first came to Moabby jeep and later decided to retirehere." The Red Rock 4-Wheelerssponsor the famed annual MoabJeep Safari which attracts morethan 600 jeeps from all over theUnited States during Easter Week.

Red Rock 4-Wheelers VicePresident Ber Knight and his wifelived in New Jersey for 30 yearsuntil they vacationed in Moab."There are a lot of differentapproaches to jeeping," explainsKnight. "It's a way to get to placesthat are impractical otherwise. ButI'd belying ifIdidn' say that Ialsoget a kick out of climbing to the topof some of those really rough hills.

"About 10 percent of the people

who tryWipe Out Hillcan get to thetop," says Knight. He thinks one ofthe most challenging jeeping areasis Behind the Rocks near Moab.

Most of all, Knight and his wifelike to explore beautiful

, southeastern Utah. When asked forhis favorite spot, he replied, "Iloveitall.... You never run out ofplacestogo. Youcangoalldayonalotoftrails and never see anyone."

Lyn Ottinger, who started thefirst commercial tours in Moab 30years ago, lived in Oregon beforecoming to Utah. "Ijust happened tobe passing through and I decided tostay until I saw itall and the more Isee the more there is to see."

Canyonlands country hasthousands of miles of jeep roads.Most were originally made by

prospectors or mimng compamesin search ofminerals. Inmost cases,evidence of mining has long sincevanished. Yet, 4-wheel drive roadsremain to take wanderers into thevast recesses of red rock canyonsand mountains, where sandstonearches and pinnacles, and forgottenIndian ruins lie hidden.

A large portion of land insoutheastern Utah is administeredby the Bureau of Land Manage-ment. It's generally open to vehicletravel and has no fences.

Jeeping providesmore thanspectacular scenery and ruggedjeeping challenges. Former pros-pector Lyn Ottinger has discovered

everything from fossils and flying'eptiletracks to the bones of a

dinosaur now named after him.Eguandondon Ottingeri, displayedat the Monte L. Bean Museum at

Brigham Young University, wa<the first Eguandondon dinosaurfound on the American continent.Ottinger decided to become a touroperator when people keptfollowing him around to see forthemselves his amazing finds.

Whether discovering dinosaursor Indian ruins, photographingmagnificent scenery or experi-encing the thrill of climbing WipeOut Hill,there is no other place likesoutheastern Utah for jeeping.

actually subsidizing the war against themselves, according to Sheriff John

goes straight into our war chest," says Fox. "It is used to increase ourforces, purchase equipment and to fund drug awareness education

initiallyas patrol dogs, while being cross-trained in narcotics detection.

School for judges: The environment demands itA fresh rush of publicity

surrounds federal judges as theyadjudicate environmental lawsuitsfrom the Everglades to PrinceWilliam Sound. Some of the mostthorny, technologically complexcases ever thrown into the courtsare being decided in the ExxonValdez and Boston Harbor suitsand in the legal dispute that istearing the Pacific Northwest apart

Northern Spo//ed Owl vs.Manuel Lujan.

But for sheer numbers in the newwave of environmental cases, lookto the states. State jurists are alsobeing swamped with new andcomplex issues. Their problem is sosevere that judges from the six NewEngland states met for the first-everenvironmental-law training sessionat Westford, Mass., in April.

Instead of probate and propertyclaims, their honors suddenlyfound themselves wrestling withbasic hydrology and geology, site-evaluation issues, wetlands and site

remediation —subjects, if ever,taught when today's judges were inlaw school.

So far just the leading edge ofsuch cases has hit the courts. Manymore are likelysoon, as the nation'slegislatures enact allmanner ofnew,environmental laws.

"Allofthis legislation) willendup in the courts," notes AndrewSavitz, former general counsel toMassachusetts'ffice ofEnvironmental Affairs and anorganizer of the jurists'rainingsession in Westford. "New lawsmean new remedies, new lawsuits—a tidal wave before the courts.And judges have to deal with it."

The subjects jurists will begrappling with, U.S. Appeals JudgeJames Oakes has suggested, haveexpanded to "global warming, theozone layer, the greenhouse effect,acid rain, and hazardous, toxic andnonbiodegradable wastes on landand in the sea."

Is there a realistic chance

(I: fa'. 4, i ax':i i 3."=.lily a

thousands ofjudges across 50 stateswillrise to the level of knowledgeand sophistication that toughenvironmental cases pose? It'easy to be pessimistic.

Fortunately, many highlycompetent people are appointed tojudgeships. And given theextraordinary stakes for societythat environmental cases present,shouldn't we anticipate that thejudiciary will put in extraordinaryeffort?

That means many judges willhave to reorient their thinking, andlearn how other jurists are man-aging environmental cases. Everyjudge at the New England confer-ence said afterwards that he or shewould recommend the same train-ing opportunity to their colleagues.

Interest for similar training inother regions is now pouring in,according to the conference organ-izers —the Flaschner JudicialInstitute of Boston and the Wash-ington, D.C.-based Environmental

Law Institute. Upcoming coursesare likely in the Midwest, Cali-fornia and the South. The Ameri-can Bar Association is interested inpicking up on the idea, too.

How do you train judges, withbusy schedules who've grownaccustomed to laying down the lawforothers? Lectures may not be thebest method, suggests Mel L.Greenberg of the MassachusettsAppeals Court, one of 48 judgesattending the conference.

Abetter way, Greenberg says, isputting on mock trials andexperimenting with new hands-onapplications on complicatedprincipals. One of the big successesof the New England conferencewas a case based on a hypotheticalenvironmental crimedesecration through toxicdischarges of a valuable wetland.

Conference sponsors acted outroles —as landowner, plaintiff,attorneys forall the sides. And thenthe judges assembled, in state

groups, to see how they'd decide.Judges tended to reflect their

states'asic attitudes on thcenvironment —tough in some

cases, permissive in others.Whatever their ideological

predilections, state courts may have

to reorganize, fast, to handle thc

torrent of environmental laws.States may have to experimcu

with resolving cases by mediatioaor arbitration. Or develop selective

groups of judges responsible fcx

environmental cases. Chicago ha)

one judge who handles the asbestoicases. Vermont recently created ihc

nation's first environmental court,One thing is certain: Whethci

the judges are prepared or not, envi.

ronmental lawyers willbe waitit)Itopounce. Over20,000arenowrc.portedly at work, responding to

what they see as swelling marketdemand. Their business is lawsuiu.The judges better get ready to hca(

IntroductionDuring 1991, Congress and the

Department of Labor (DOL) are

expected to seriously consideramendments to the Job TrainingPartnership Act (JTPA). This"whitepaper" presents the views ofcounty elected officials andadministrators in the job trainingcommunity.

It was developed by the NationalAssociation of County Trainingaud Employment Professionals andNACo's Employment SteeringCommittee. It represents theconsensus view ofsome ofthe mostactive job training administratorsand local elected officials withinthe job training community.

OverviewSince passed into law in 1982,

JTPA has been the preeminentfederally sponsored second chance

job training program for thenation's economicallydisadvantaged. Over the past eightyears, locally operated JTPApmgrams have trained between750,000 and 1 millionpersons each

year in various occupations. Forsome individuals, JTPA has meantthe difference between dependenceand independence.

For others, the training hasenabled them to build self-esteemb'y becoming meaningfulcontributors to society.

Since 1988, numerous effortshave been undertaken to amendJTPA. During the 101st Congress,these efforts culminated in the

the community needs of electedofficials.

Job training for the nation's poorand under-skilled is critical toAmerican competitiveness inhemisphere and world markets. Awell trained workforce is necessary

ifthe United States is to remain an

economic leader. Two things are

certain: 1) No one benefits Irom anunder-skilled and under-utilizedwork force; and 2) Productivity and

creativity in the workplace must beencouraged if we are to maintainthe current American standard ofliving.

Policy issues andrecommendations

This paper identifies eight issueareas that county officials believeare important, and NACo urgesDOL and Congress to keep them inmind as various proposals areconsidered for changing JTPA.They are: program design; costcategories and limitations onspending; fiscal integrity; clienteligibility; the summer youthemployment and training program;program set-asides; on-the-jobtraining; and the sunset provision.Policy recommendations presentedfor each are followed by supportingrationale.

I. Program designProposed changes that wttuld

better ensure the assessment ofclient needs and the provision ofbasic and occupational training andsupportive services arecommendable. However,Congress should avoid adoptingoverly prescriptive mandates thatspecifically dictate how localprograms must be designed.

Overly prescriptive mandateswill hamper the local decisionmaking process in designingprograms to meet the unique needsof local clients. Programs shouldbe designed with the overall needsofclients in focus, which should bethe determining factor in assigningcosts.

passage of amendments in theSenate and House ofRepresentatives. But Congress was

II. Cost categories andlimitations on spending

The current 15 percent limitationon administrative costs isinadequate, considering theincreased fiscal burdens placed onlocal programs by increasedreporting, management, client

unable to reach agreement on acompromise bill, andconsequently, final amendmentswere never adopted. Now that thefirst session of the 102nd Congressis well under way, momentum isbuilding to consider JTPA reformsagain.

NACo supports legislative andadministrative efforts to improveJTPA. County officialsbelieve thatperiodic changes are necessary iflocal job training programs are toremain responsive to the job

follow-up and audit requirements.NACo supports raising thelimitation to 20 percent ofthe fundsavailable to service delivery areas.

Limitations on categoricalexpenditures should be structuredso that effective job training andsupport services may be provided

,to-,participants, Ideally., spo,most-categories-should-be-established:

,training,- needs:.o4- - -clients, .theemploymentneedswf business and--

management (20 percent ofavailable funds) and training (80percent of available funds). Iftwocategories are not adopted,activities charged to training undercurrent law and regulations must bemaintained, with the exception thatall costs related to work experienceand counseling should be charged

to ffalliilg.

IH. Fiscal integrityThe need to improve fiscal

integrity of the JTPA Program is

evidenced jn numerous reportspublished over the past few years.Efforts by the Department ofLaborand the Office of the InspectorGeneral to ensure fiscal integrityamong JTPA programs shouldfocus on the adoption andimplementation of stronger rulesand accountability statements, and

on defining such terms as"reasonable and necessary" costs

and profits.Fixed unit price contracts, as

defined in DOL's March 1989

policy guidance letter, should bemaintained. Problems identified inthis area, due largely to the lack offederal guidance on procurementsand the use of excess revenues,have been addressed in the March1989 guidance.

IV.Client eligibilityWith limited resources in JTPA,

NACo recognizes the need to givepriority for services to those whoare most in need. Legislationshould be enacted that would givepriority for services toeconomically disadvantagedindividuals who exhibit skilldeficiencies, have poor workhistories and have limited Englishlanguage proficiency, although nospecific percentages should beassigned to any of thesecharacteristics.

Moreover, local job trainingprograms should be permitted totarget services to 'specific groupsdesignated by local officials.

In addition, support is also urgedfor increasing, from 10 to 15

percent, the eligibilitywindow ( theability to serve individuals withbarriers to employment who are not'economically disadvantaged) foradult and youth Title IIApafticlpailts.

V. Summer YouthEmployment and TrainingProgram

A separate summer youth title isimperative and must be retained.Service Delivery Areas (SDAs)should retain the authority tocombine the summer youth

. program with in-school and other', youth aqtivitie's','under 'JTPA'o',address 'the em'plbyment anti

training needs of youth in a

comprehensive manner.

VI.Program set-asidesAs SDAs are required to target

services to the most needy,Congress must recognize the need

for additional funds to pay thehigher cost associated with trainingthose with greater needs. Toincrease the percentage of fundsavailable to local service deliveryareas, funds set aside in the stateallotment for older workers and

education programs should bepassed from the states to servicedelivery areas for coordinationgmnts. These grants should beawarded by SDAs, according todistribution formulas determined

by local officials, to local education

agencies, veterans organizations,unions and community-basedorganizations. The six percent set-

aside for incentive grants is an

effective way of encouragingimproved performance and must bemaintained as written under currentlaw.

VII.On-the-job-trainingDue to the lack ofguidance in on-

the-job training (OJT), the length ofOJT contracts have been excessivein some cases. To address thisproblem, NACo supports limitingOJTto sixmonths. ToruneffectiveOJT programs, local discretion indetermining the length of trainingfor each participant should be based

on . client assessments,employability plans andreferences, such as the "DictionaryofOccupational Titles". BrokeredOJTs (when the SDA uses a thirdparty to arrange on-the-job trainingfor participants) should bemaintained.

VIII.Sunset provisionJTPA's permanent authorization

must be maintained. The need forjob training services will exist as

long as there are economicallydisadvantaged individuals.

To deny them access to trainingand job placements will prolongtheir dependency in federalentitlement and other welfareprograms.

ConclusionNACo feels very strongly that

reforms to JTPA must be done withgreat care. The reason has less todo with the perpetuation of theJTPA system, and more to d<vwith-the continued availability of this El~

program for the nation'seconomically disadvantaged andunderskilled.

As we move through the lastdecade of the 20th century, thepreeminent economic position ofthe United States is being severelychallenged by Germany and Japan.As the U.S. manufacturing baseshrinks, those of Germany and

Japan are expected to grow. AsAmerican productivity declines,that of Japan and Germariy isexpected to increase. And as ourability to compete on worldmarkets diminishes, that ofGermany and Japan is expected tobe enhanced.

Increasingly, we hear about thefailure of our schools to properlyeducate our youth, about theinability of the vocationaleducation system to properly trainour young people for the workworld, and about the lack ofschool-to-work transition programs.

We also hear about the presenceof very effective school-to-worktransition programs throughoutEurope and Japan and about a

sophisticated vocational educationsystem in Europe and Japan basedon the premise that not everyonewill go to college, and that thosewho do not should be brought intoan apprentice-type program.

If we are to retain our currentstandard of living, we mustconfront these and relatedproblems.

The Job Training Partnership Actis a second chance program thatgives people the workplace skillsthey lack and helps them to becomeproductive citizens rather thanindividuals dependent on welfareand other transfer payments.

With the help of Congress andDOL, JTPA programs can beimproved to play a fundamentalrole in the nation's effort tomaintain a viable national andglobal economy.
