WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD ACTION
At its regular meeting on May 16, 2019, by a vote of 13:0 (Alegre, Baetz, Korthuis, Smith absent),
the Workforce Development Board approved the recommended action.
DISCUSSION
The California Employment Development Department (EDD), released Directive WSD 18-14
outlining procedures regarding subsequent designation of Local Workforce Development Areas
(Local Areas) and recertification of Local Workforce Development Board's under the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
WIOA Section 106 required Local Areas to apply for initial designation and the Governor to
approve requests for Local Areas that had performed successfully and had sustained fiscal
integrity. After the period that a Local Area was initially designated, WIOA Section 106 calls for a
subsequent designation process and requires the Governor to approve a request for any
subsequent designation from a Local Area, if the area performed successfully, sustained fiscal
integrity, and engaged in the regional planning process as described in Section 106 (c)(1).
WIOA Section 107 provides criteria for the recertification of Local Boards. Specifically, it requires
the Governor to certify one Local Board for each Local Area in the state once every two years. It

states that, in order to W recertified, the Local Board must have met WIOA membership
requirements, met or exceeded performance accountability measures, and achieved sustained
fiscal integrity.
The City received initial designation as a Local Area and certification of its Workforce Development
Board by the California Workforce Development Board (State Board) in July 2016. Since then,
the City and its Workforce Development Board has fulfilled these requirements and are eligible to
submit an application for Subsequent Local Area Designation and Local Board Recertification
(Exhibit 1) under WIOA.
Acting under the authority of the Governor, the process for subsequent designation and
recertification of Local Boards under WIOA is overseen by the State Board and will be effective
from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2021 ensuring the continuation of WIOA funding and services
to Santa Ana residents and businesses.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's effort to meet Goal #2 - Youth, Education, Recreation,
Objective #4 (Partner with groups and organization to promote education, senior services, job
training and development for all Santa Ana residents).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
