RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25590 to reassign one (1) One-Stop Career Center Case Manager (X7WC) (represented) position number 11689 and incumbent from Workforce Services (Dept. 0504) to Workforce Development Board (Dept 0583) in the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD).

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this department change within EHSD will result in a net County cost (NCC) decrease of $6,323 annually for Workforce Services (WFS) (Dept. 0504). There will be no increase in NCC for Workforce Development Board (WDB) (Dept. 0583) since the position will be funded with 95% Federal and 5% State funds.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In FY 2018-2019, due to a decrease in funding, the WDB procured out service delivery for the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) mandated America’s Job Center of California (AJCC) and Adult and Dislocated Worker career services. This resulted in the closure of 3 AJCCs and the elimination of 18 positions.

As an integral partner with WIOA, EHSD-Workforce Services Bureau agreed to support a transitional One-Stop Case Manager position with limited fraud incentive funding for FY 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. This position supported the transition of the service delivery from internal county staff to a contractor, with a specific emphasis on connecting CalWORKS participants to WIOA funded employment and training services.

With the anticipated proposed changes to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) pertaining to Employment and Training (E&T), which would require local workforce boards to coordinate with local SNAP and E&T programs, this position will be more critical than ever. The WDB seeks to support the One-Stop Case Manager position held by Veronica Ramos, which can no longer be funded under the WFS fraud incentive funds. This Board action is to move this position under the direct charge of the WDB, to be funded with available WIOA funds. This position will continue to support the connection between CalWORKS as well as SNAP E&T, to ensure that participants are provided the opportunity to find meaningful training and employment opportunities that will lead to self-sufficiency and less reliance on public benefits.
