Authorize the Executive Director and Recording Secretary to execute non- substantive amendments such as adjustment of shared operational expenses during the term of the Memorandum of Understanding. DISCUSSION At the May 25, 2022 special meeting of the Workforce Development Board by a vote of 13:0 (Gail Araujo, David Elliott and Robert Ruiz absent), the Board recommended the above action for City Council approval. In order to establish a high quality America’s Job Centers of California (AJCC) delivery system and enhance collaboration among partner programs, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires Local Workforce Boards to develop Memorandum of Understanding (MOU’s) with a list of AJCC required partners within the Local Workforce Area. These MOU’s will serve as a functional tool as well as a plan for how the Local Board and AJCC partners will work together to create a unified service delivery system that best meets the needs of their shared customers. WIOA does not require all partners to be physically co-located at the AJCC, but those that do co-locate are required to share in the operational costs. Currently, the City, Employment Development Department, Department of Rehabilitation, SER Jobs for Progress, County of Orange Social Services Agency, and Santa Ana Housing Authority are co-located at the Santa Ana WORK Center and share the operational costs that are calculated based on square footage of occupancy by each agency and is outlined in Attachment 3 of the MOU agreement. The current partner MOUs will expire at the end of this fiscal year. Typically, the term would be for three years, but because the master AJCC office lease expires next year, the City Attorney’s Office advised a one-year term. When the new lease details are finalized, the MOU exhibits will be updated to reflect the shared costs of the one-stop system and then return to the City Council for approval (Exhibit 1 and 2). The programs and services the WDB is required to have an MOU with are as follows: Program Organization WIOA Title I – Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth City of Santa Ana WORK Center WIOA Title II – Adult Education and Literacy Santa Ana College/Rancho Santiago Community College District WIOA Wagner-Peyser, Veterans, Trade Adjustment Assistance Act California Employment Development Department WIOA Title IV Vocational Rehabilitation California Department of Rehabilitation Carl Perkins Career Technical Education Santa Ana College/Rancho Santiago Community College District Memorandum of Understanding with Required WIOA Partners June 21, 2022 Page 3 2 7 6 9 Title V Older Americans Act SER – Jobs for Progress Job Corps Long Beach Job Corps Native American Programs – Section 166 United American Indian Involvement, Inc.
