The <br />following year a full procurement process was conducted and the W/O/R/K Center was awarded a <br />Memorandum of Understanding in June 2001 as a comprehensive One-Stop operator. The <br />recommended action would extend this Memorandum of Understanding (Exhibit 1) for the current <br />Program Year (PY). <br />The Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board (WIB) is responsible for evaluating the performance of <br />the W/O/R/K Center to ensure its compliance with federal and state regulations and overall service <br />to the community on an annual basis. The performance results for the Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center <br />are reported to the WIB on an annual basis with quarterly updates provided as the data becomes <br />available throughout the year. The state has yet to release final performance data for PY 2012- <br />2013. The data below is as of third quarter ending March 31, 2013 with the W/O/R/K Center <br />exceeding five of the six state-mandated performance goals for PY 2012-2013: <br />25C-1
