RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, and the Workforce Development Board (WDB) to jointly submit the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Strategic Local Plan Modification for Program Year (PY) 2008-2009 for Title I of the Workforce Investment Act to the State of California Employment Development Department and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, to sign the Local Plan Modification.
(#18-156-2)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County cost.

BACKGROUND:

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) was implemented in the State of California in the year 2000. At that time, the State requested that each local area submit a five-year strategic plan. Each following year, the State has directed local areas to update the initial plan through submittal of a Modification. The Modification is to go to the local Workforce Development Board (WDB) for review and approval, then be available for 30 days for public review. Any comments are to be attached to the Modification and the final Modification document, following the approval by the County Board of Supervisors (BOS), sent to the State of California Employment Development Department. Receipt of the Modification by the State of California Employment Development Department ensures the award of the formula allocation(s) to the local areas.

As in prior years, the State of California Employment Development Department has requested that the Five-Year Plan be modified. The WDB Executive Committee authorized the distribution of the Modification for the required 30-day public review. As no public imput was received, WDB requests the Chair, Board of Supervisors, sign the Local Plan Modification.
