Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Execute an extension of the One-Stop Operator Memorandum of Understanding with the Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center as the Comprehensive One-Stop Operator for Program Year 2013-2014. WIB EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION At its special meeting of October 8, 2013, by a vote of 5:0 (McMurtray, Claudio, Korthuis absent), the Workforce Investment Board Executive Committee recommended that City Council execute an extension of the One Stop Operator Memorandum of Understanding with the Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center as the Comprehensive One Stop Operator for Program Year 2013-2014. DISCUSSION In June 2000, the Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center was grand-fathered in as Santa Ana's comprehensive One-Stop provider under implementation of new federal legislation called the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), which replaced the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). The following year a full procurement process was conducted and the W/O/R/K Center was awarded a Memorandum of Understanding in June 2001 as a comprehensive One-Stop operator. The recommended action would extend this Memorandum of Understanding (Exhibit 1) for the current Program Year (PY). The Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board (WIB) is responsible for evaluating the performance of the W/O/R/K Center to ensure its compliance with federal and state regulations and overall service to the community on an annual basis. The performance results for the Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center are reported to the WIB on an annual basis with quarterly updates provided as the data becomes available throughout the year. The state has yet to release final performance data for PY 2012- 2013. The data below is as of third quarter ending March 31, 2013 with the W/O/R/K Center exceeding five of the six state-mandated performance goals for PY 2012-2013: 25C-1 One Stop Operator PY 2013-2014 October 21, 2013 Page 2 Adults Entered Employment Rate Retention Rate Average Earnings Dislocated Workers Entered Employment Rate Retention Rate Average Earnings 2012 - 2013 Negotiated 2012 - 2013 Performance Performance Level Actual Success Rate 61.1% 70.00% 114.56% 75.5% 80.20% 106.25% $11,800 $11,116 94.20% 2012 - 2013 Negotiated 2012 - 20 13 Performance Performance Level Actual Success Rate 58.9% 63.19% 107.28% 83.0% 88.46% 106.58% $14,000 $14,162 101.16% The City's total WIA allocation for PY 2013-2014 is $3,219,780, comprised of $1,181,097 for Adults, $807,310 for Dislocated Workers, and $1,231,373 for Youth programs. Additionally, the City received $193,792 in Rapid Response funds to serve Santa Ana businesses who are laying off or have announced plant closures. The PY 2013-2014 allocation is a 12.74 percent decrease from the previous year's allocation with sequestration being 9 percent of the overall reduction. A participant plan and budget for PY 2013-2014 are attached for your review as Exhibits 2 and 3.
