WDB Youth Council Committee - Regular Meeting

The City of Santa Ana Workforce Development Board Youth Council Committee held its regular meeting on October 27, 2026. The committee approved a motion directing staff to develop, finalize, and release an RFP for youth service providers. Staff described the solicitation as a one-year procurement for the current funding cycle, with a target release around December 1, proposal submissions in January, and evaluation expected in late January; the schedule is intended to support City Council consideration by June. New providers are expected to begin July 1, though the transcript’s stated end date is unclear. Committee members were asked to help score proposals, and three volunteers were identified. No contract amounts or vendor selections were reported.

The committee also approved the April 9, 2026 meeting minutes and re-elected the chair and vice chair for 2026–27. Staff and providers reported on youth enrollment, employment and education outcomes, work experience placements, and coordination among service providers, including training and referrals. No other purchasing decisions or budget allocations were identified.
