3. Public Comment
       a. Guest: Luis Luciano from Youth Working for Change
           Luis gave an overview of the county program of internships for 16 – 22 year olds who are
           interested in learning about working as a county employee. He is taking applications for the
           program which is a paid internship Monday – Thursday at a County of Marin Department with
           Fridays spent on career exploration with Luis. Career exploration workshops include lessons on
           cultural competency, workplace diversity, women in leadership, resume preparation and
           interview skills. Luis reviews the applications to create a 25 person candidate pool for the
           departments to identify individuals for interviews. The county departments select candidates for
their positions and interview candidates in a panel format. The goal of the program is to create a
                   path to County of Marin employment.

       4. Action and Discussion Items
              a. COLA ($57,290) allocated to members OR COLA held in a fund for be used for members and/or
                 community partners.
              b. Members discussed options for the COLA. Motion was made and seconded to put the COLA,
                 $57,290, into a fund for future distribution to members. This fund will be held by the College of
                 Marin, fiscal agent. VOTED M/S/P, unanimous agreement on the motion.
              c. All members signed on to NOVA at the meeting, Bob Raines by email, to approve the CFAD on-
                 line.
              d. Open discussion was held on developing a process for requesting funds for 2018 – 19
                 programming. It was agreed that a proposal rubric be developed for each member to present at
                 a future allocation determination meeting. Requests should be based on need, filling gaps, and
                 serving the seven program areas. Discussion was held on considering program proposals from
                 community partners who are working in the seven AEBG areas. Each member briefly described
                 program goals for 2018 – 19 with accompanying total budget needs. Details will be outlined by
                 each member in the proposal rubric.
              e. It was noted that the NOVA systems will track expenditures in 18 – 19 to ensure members are
                 spending funds in a timely manner. Target spending of 15% in Q1, 30% in Q2, 45% in Q3, and
                 60% in Q4 will be applied per recent AEBG webinar. If a member is not meeting these targets, a
                 corrective action narrative will be required in NOVA.
              f. Tam Adult and SRCS presented summer programming which require funding through sub-
                 contracting from members. Tam Adult would like $5,000 for summer Pearson Vue testing hours
                 and SRCS would like $8,000 for summer GED prep in Spanish for the social studies exam. Both
                 members will present a proposal rubric for consideration by consortium members.
       4. Information Reports
                 a. Jaemi Naish distributed flyers about summer session at Tam Adult School, certification as a
                     Google educator, Pearson Vue testing at Tam Adult School, and the Community Job Fair on

Re:                             Expanding Pearson Vue Test Center Hours in 2018-2019

Summary:
Due to increased enrollment and programming at Tamalpais Adult School, there is an increased need to expand Pearson Vue
testing hours at Tamalpais Adult School’s Larkspur location. Exams are offered Fridays between 9-5pm. Most Fridays,
between 15-21 examinees are in attendance. The test center is completely filled three weeks in advance. The closest
Pearson Vue test centers offering scheduled examinations are Berkeley Adult School, Santa Rosa Junior College and Fairfield
Suisan Adult School. There have been many requests by examinees to extend testing hours in Larkspur.

  Rationale:

Tamalpais Adult School enrollment, programming and test center foot traffic has steadily increased since implementing the
test center in January 2014. Students without transportation (a car) are unable to bus between Marin County and either
Santa Rosa or Fairfield seamlessly. Expanding testing hours and days will allow a greater number of Marin County residents t
access industry examinations needed for post-secondary education and employment.

              January 2018 to December 2018                                                                                                      500

 To increase test center hours at Tamalpais Adult School in July and August of 2018-19, $5000 in additional funding is
required to employ two certified Pearson Vue proctors. To further expand Pearson Vue hours beyond July/August and
outside of normally scheduled Friday testing, Tam Adult School estimates an additional $5000 in funding is required. Tam

Adult School does not have this additional funding available in its 2018-19 operating budget.

    Net Annual Cost of Proposal for 2018-19: $10,000.00
Current cost of 2 Pearson Vue employees for July and August 2018: $5000.00

Current cost of 2 Pearson Vue employees for continued expansion in 2018: $5000.00
