WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and match employers with the skilled workers needed to compete in the global economy. WIOA supersedes the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and the first legislative reform of the public workforce system in 15 years. The Act 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 the City of 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 20A -1 Appropriation Adjustment — WIOA Grant Funds Fiscal Year 2015 -2016 May 17, 2016 Page 2 designation is from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2017, it will be reviewed and evaluated every two years against federal performance and compliance outcomes. 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. On March 1, 2016 City Council authorized the recognition of $104,529 in additional program funds allocated by EDD through unilateral sub -grant modifications to the agreement. EDD has released information notifying LWDAs that the U.S. Department of Labor has overturned the 0.2108 percent recession that was applied to the second round funding allotments. Therefore, Santa Ana has been awarded additional grant funds for Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Rapid Response as shown on the table below: The WIOA regulations allow 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 are $343. 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 generally have only a one year grant period. Therefore, the additional $596 must be expended before the end of the current fiscal year to 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 Approval of the appropriation adjustment will recognize $4,030 in revenue account (no. 12318002- 52001) and appropriate $4,030 for expenditure as follows: 20A -2 Adult Dislocated Worker Rapid Response Totals Final Allocation Amounts $1,112,927 $713,948 $258,159 $2,085,034 Appropriated Amounts FY to Date $1,110,771 $712,670 $257,563 $2,081,004 Difference $ 2,156 $ 1,278 $ 596 $ 4,030 The WIOA regulations allow each LWDA to use ten percent of Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth funds for administrative costs.
