TOPIC: Community Workforce Agreement Oversight Funding Appropriation
AGENDA TITLE
Approve an Appropriation Adjustment to Recognize $100,000 of Estimated Revenues in
Fiscal Year 2020-21 from CIP Construction Permits
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve an appropriation adjustment to recognize an estimated $100,000 of receipts from
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) construction permit fees into the Public Works
Agency, CIP Construction Projects Permits revenue account and appropriate the same
amount into the Public Works Agency Services, Contract Services-PWA CIP Construction
Permits expenditure account for consultant services to provide labor oversight on the
Community Workforce Agreement for CIP construction projects.
DISCUSSION
In August 2017, the City of Santa Ana adopted a Community Workforce Agreement
(CWA). The purpose of the CWA is to increase employment opportunities for residents
of Santa Ana, and increase training and employment opportunities for the City’s
construction trade students through apprenticeships. A key goal of the CWA is for workers
residing in Santa Ana, Orange County, or veterans, regardless of where they reside, to
perform at least thirty percent of the total work hours on CIP construction projects under
this agreement. In September 2020, the City hired a consultant, The Solis Group, to
actively administer and enforce the obligations of the CWA, thereby ensuring the benefits
envisioned for our local community materialize.
To facilitate the implementation of the CWA, a Capital Improvement Program
Construction Permit was established in the FY 2020-21 Miscellaneous Fee Schedule.
The permit fee ranges from a minimum of $349.19 to 8.75 percent of the construction
contract amount and will be used to administer the CWA program. When the
Miscellaneous Fee Schedule was prepared, a specific account number had not been
identified. This City Council action recognizes $100,000 in FY 2020-21 permit fees into
the revenue account No. 05317002-51708 and appropriates the same amount into the
expenditure account No. 05317021-62340 for CWA administration expenditures. As the
CWA program continues, staff will include estimated CWA permit revenues and
expenditures in future budgets.
