WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and <br />support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers <br />they need to compete in the global economy. WIOA supersedes the Workforce Investment Act <br />of 1998 and is the first legislative reform of the public workforce system in 15 years. <br />California is a direct recipient of WIOA funding and contracts with the City of Santa Ana as a <br />designated Local Workforce Development Area (LWDA) to address workforce needs of <br />employers and the community. On July 17, 2018, the City Council adopted a resolution <br />authorizing the City Manager to execute a new sub -grant agreement (Exhibit 1) with the State of <br />California, Employment Development Department (EDD) to receive WIOA funds through <br />program year 2021. <br />The adoption of FY 2018-19 budget included estimated amounts for each of the four formula <br />funding sources; Adult, Dislocated Worker, Youth, and Rapid Response. Rapid Response is the <br />only program in which the total allocation from EDD for program year 2018-19 exceeds the total <br />budgeted for this program in the City's budget. The notification from EDD was received after the <br />adoption of the budget, and therefore, an appropriation adjustment is needed to recognize the <br />20B-1 <br />
