Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing additional revenues of $42,226 in Title I Dislocated Worker funds, $113,141 in Title I Youth funds, and a decrease in revenues of $15,401 in Title I Adult funds and $45,033 in Rapid Response funds from the State of California for the 2011-12 fiscal year allocation. DISCUSSION The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 provides funds to Local Workforce Investment Areas (LWIA) to operate job-training programs for adults, dislocated workers and youth who meet specific criteria as outlined in the Act. The City of Santa Ana was designated as a LWIA and administrative entity on January 28, 2000, by the State Workforce Investment Board. Santa Ana has received WIA funds to operate job-training programs since July 1, 2000. At the time the 2011-12 City budget was prepared, the allocation of funding from the State of California had not been received for WIA. As a result, estimated revenue figures were used. The State has since issued the final allocations for WIA funding for fiscal year 2011-12. This appropriation adjustment will reflect the increase in funding for the Dislocated Worker and Youth programs, and the decrease in funding for the Adult and Rapid Response programs. This appropriation adjustment will increase the WIA budget to reflect the actual amount received of $3,608,143. The appropriation also includes the allocation of 10% or $338,297 of the Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth program funds to be used for program administration as allowed by WIA regulations. 20A-1
