RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Board of Supervisors Chair, and the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, on behalf of the Workforce Development Board and Employment and Human Services Department, and the Health Services Department and Probation Department Directors or designees, to sign the Memorandum of Understanding with all mandated partners of the America's Job Center of California for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Workforce Development Board (WDB) of Contra Costa County, under the umbrella of the Employment and Human Services Department. (EHSD), carries the lease and operational obligation of the Concord AJCC. The total cost of this monthly obligation is $30,812.07. WDB’s portion is $15,124.41, all of which is included in the FY 22-23 Adopted Budget. EDD’s portion is $15,687.66 with a corresponding revenue from the EDD sublease, all of which is already included in the FY 22-23 Adopted Budget.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

BACKGROUND:

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires Local Boards to develop Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with all AJCC required partners within their Local Workforce Development Area (Local Area).
The purpose of the MOU is to establish a cooperative working relationship between the parties and to define their respective roles and responsibilities in achieving the policy objectives. The MOU also serves to establish the framework for providing services to employers, employees, job seekers and others needing workforce services. The MOU is another opportunity for the WDB, AJCC and its partners to reiterate their commitment to equity, inclusion and diversity. All parties agree to review and update the MOU every three years and the contained Infrastructure Funding Agreement (IFA) annually. The cost sharing methodology is based on square footage occupied by each co-located partner. Currently the EDD is the only co-located partner and therefore the only one that shares infrastructure costs.


AJCC partners under this MOU are listed on pages two and three of the attached MOU. They include the Employment Development Department, California Department of Rehabilitation, Contra Costa County Housing Authority, Contra Costa County’s Employment and Human Services Department, Contra Costa County’s Health Services Department (H3), Contra Costa County’s Probation Department, the Contra Costa Office of Education, the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County, several local school districts/adult education entities, Self-Help for the Elderly, Job Corps, Scotts Valley Tribal TANF, and California Human Development.
There is a mutual indemnification provision amongst all parties in the MOU.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Cooperative working relationships and County America’s Job Center operational requirements could be jeopardized.
