The City of Santa Ana was designated as a LWIA and <br />administrative entity on January 28, 2000, by the State Workforce Investment Board. Santa Ana <br />has received WIA funds to operate job-training programs since July 1, 2000, which the City has <br />used as an economic development tool to assist residents and businesses alike. <br />A new sub-grant agreement is required at the beginning of each program year in order to receive <br />WIA funds as allocated by the state. Upon execution and submission of this sub-grant agreement, <br />the City will receive $1,231,373 in WIA Youth funds. This current sub-grant agreement must be <br />on file with the State before it will disburse Santa Ana's $1,181,097 in Adult and $807,310 in WIA <br />Dislocated Worker funds. The Adult and Dislocated Worker funds disbursement will be <br />accomplished through a unilateral modification by the State, with no further action required by the <br />City to receive the final allocations. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds have been appropriated in the FY 2013-2014 budget and are available in the Workforce <br />Investment Act Fund (account no. 123-various). <br />Sandra D.
