Pqe w-ber -2-
The Inland Empire Economic Council (IEEC), through its Inland Empire
Small Business Assistance Group (IESBAG), has pursued and made
commitments to TRW to assist them in their efforts. To do this. they
have identified specific needs, such as project management, staff,
travel and marketing expenses required to develop an integrated program
model and business plan. Upon completion of those Objectives, the
IESBAG modeled project will be operated under the auspices of TRW. the
Center for Environmental Technology at University of California at
Riverside (UCR), State and local job training agencies.
The IEEC has pursued a grant in the amount of $42,500 from the State
Employment Development Department (EDD) to provide partial and interim
finanCing for the program outlined above. The EDD. however. has
requested, in an effort to facilitate approval of the grant, that the
City of San Bernardino serve as the applicant in lieu of the IEEC.
Staff reasons the request is reasonable and urges its approval.
Upon the Mayor and Common Council's review and approval. staff will
prepare a grant application in the amount of $42.500 which represents
IEEC's original anticipated grant request.
In an effort to comply with general accounting and administrative
procedures. it is recommended that a "simple" disbursement and use
agreement be created and signed between the IEEC and the City of San
Bernardino for the use of said funds.
Staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
