MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING 1. LEGAL AUTHORITY The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act ("WIOA") sec. 121(c)(1) requires that each Local Workforce Development Area develop and enter into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with each America's Job Center of California ("AJCC") Partner, consistent with WIOA Sec. 121(c)(2). This requirement is further described in the WIOA; Joint Rule for Unified and Combined State Plans, Performance Accountability, and the AJCC System Joint Provisions: Final Rule at 20 CFR 678,500, 34 CFR 361.500, and 34 CFR 463.500, and in Federal guidance. Additionally, the sharing and allocation of infrastructure costs among AJCC Partners is governed by WIOA sec. 121(h), its implementing regulations, and the Federal Cost Principles contained in the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) at 2 CFR part 200. 2. PARTIES The parties to this MOU are the City Council of the City of Santa Ana, the Santa Ana Workforce Development Board ("SAWDB"), and the County of Orange Social Services Agency ("SSA"), a collocated one -stop AJCC Partner located at the Santa Ana WORK Center, 801 W. Civic Center Drive, Suite 200, Santa Ana, CA 92701. 3. PURPOSE The purpose of the MOU is consistent with the provisions of WIOA sec. 121(c)(1), to establish a cooperative working relationship between the SAWDB and SSA, the collocated AJCC Partner, and to define their respective roles and responsibilities concerning the operation of the AJCC as it relates to shared services and customers. It serves to establish the framework for providing services to employers, employees, job seekers and others needing workforce services. It also serves to establish a framework to support the established service delivery through the sharing of resources and costs. 4.

This MOU shall supersede and cancel the existing Phase I MOU between SSA, Orange County Development Board ("OCDB"), and SAWDB, executed June 28, 2016, and Phase II MOU between SSA, OCDB, and SAWDB, executed August 22, 2017.

This MOU will be reviewed not less than once every three years to ensure appropriate funding and delivery of services and to identify any substantial changes that require modification of this MOU.
