DISCUSSION
The federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law on July 22,
2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and
support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers
they need to compete in the global economy. WIOA supersedes the Workforce Investment Act of
1998 and is the first legislative reform of the public workforce system in 15 years. The WIOA went
into effect on July 1, 2015 with the Department of Labor responsible for its implementation.
California is a direct recipient of WIOA funding and contracts with designated Local Workforce
Development Areas (LWDA) to address workforce needs of employers and the community.
The California Workforce Investment Board recommended approval that Santa Ana be
designated as a local workforce development area under WIOA. The Governor and Secretary of
the Labor and Workforce Development Agency concurred with the recommendation. The
designation is from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2017 and will be reviewed and evaluated every two
years against federal performance and compliance outcomes.

Appropriation Adjustment — WIOA Grant Funds FY 15 -16
March 1, 2016
Page 2
On August 18, 2015, City Council authorized the execution of a new sub -grant agreement with
the Workforce Services Division of the State Employment Development Department (EDD) and
approved an appropriation adjustment to recognize the $13,554 additional Youth funds that were
not anticipated at the time of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 -16 budget adoption.
EDD has disbursed additional program funds to the Santa Ana Local Workforce Board through
unilateral sub -grant modifications to the agreement. The final amounts of the WIOA funds
allocated to Santa Ana Local Workforce Board for Program Year 2015 -16 are shown in the table
below:
The WIOA regulations allows each LWDA to use ten percent of Adult, Dislocated Worker, and
Youth funds for administrative costs. Ten percent of the additional Adult and Dislocated Worker
funds is $2,021. The remaining Adult and Dislocated Worker funds will be utilized to provide
career and training services to participants in the community that need assistance. Rapid
Response funds will be used to plan for and respond to layoffs and dislocations, and preventing
or minimizing their impacts on workers and businesses.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of these items assists the City in meeting 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
The adopted FY 2015 -16 budget included the estimated $1,100,490, $702,725, and $173,260 in
WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Rapid Response grant funding, respectively. The final
program allocation total for these three programs is $104,529 greater than the original amount
budgeted. Approval of the appropriation adjustment will recognize $104,529 in revenue account
(no. 12318002 - 52001) and increase the FY 2015 -16 expenditure accounts in the Rapid
Response program budget by $84,303, and appropriate $20,226 for expenditure in FY 2016 -17
for the remaining programs as follows:
