Authorize the Executive Director and Recording Secretary to execute a Memorandum <br />of Understanding with the Santa Ana Workforce Development Board which outlines <br />the sharing of resources and expenses associated with the operations of a <br />comprehensive one stop center for a one-year term expiring June 30, 2023 and <br />payment to the City of Santa Ana in an estimated amount of $8,054 subject to non- <br />substantive changes approved by the Executive Director and Authority General <br />Council. <br />2. Authorize the Executive Director and Recording Secretary to execute non-substantive <br />amendments such as adjustment of shared operational expenses during the term of <br />the Memorandum of Understanding. <br />DISCUSSION <br />At the May 25, 2022 special meeting of the Workforce Development Board by a vote of <br />13:0 (Gail Araujo, David Elliott and Robert Ruiz absent), the Board recommended the <br />above action for council approval. <br />In order to establish a high quality America’s Job Centers of California (AJCC) delivery <br />system and enhance collaboration among partner programs, Workforce Innovation and <br />Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires Local Workforce Boards to develop Memorandum of <br />Understanding (MOU’s) with a list of AJCC required partners within the Local Workforce <br />Area. These MOU’s will serve as a functional tool as well as a plan for how the Local <br />Board and AJCC partners will work together to create a unified service delivery system <br />that best meets the needs of their shared customers. WIOA does not require all partners <br />to be physically co-located at the AJCC but those that do co-locate they are required to <br />share in the operational costs.
