Approve an Appropriation Adjustment recognizing additional revenues of $166,930 in Title I Youth funds from the State of California for Workforce Investment Act youth programs. 2. Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents for the Workforce Investment Act sub-grant with the State of California, Workforce Investment Division. DISCUSSION The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 provides funds to Local Workforce Investment Areas (LWIA) to operate job-training programs allowable under the Act for adults, dislocated workers and youth who meet specific criteria as outlined in the Act. The City of Santa Ana was designated as an LWIA and administrative entity on January 28, 2000, by the State Workforce Investment Board. Santa Ana has received WIA funds to operate job-training programs since July 1, 2000. A new sub-grant is required at the beginning of each program year in order to avoid the commingling of funds from previous years. The submission of this sub-grant is the first step in the process enabling Santa Ana to receive these WIA funds as they are allocated by the State for program year 2006-07. By submitting this sub-grant agreement, the City will be eligible to receive $1,019,729 in WIA Youth funds for program year 2006-07. The City will also be eligible to receive additional funds for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs during the year by a unilateral modification from the State of California. 20B-1
