Approve Application for Mendocino County Local Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Local Area Recertification; and authorize Chair to sign same.
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On May 19, 2015, the LWDA local area designation determined by the Board; and, on March 1, 2016, the Board approved a resolution formally designating the Workforce Development Board (WDB).
Summary of Request:
The WIOA was signed into law by President Barack Obama on July 22, 2014. On May 19, 2015, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors approved the submission of an application for Initial Local Board Certification for Program Year 2015-16 on behalf of the Mendocino County WDB. The WDB then submitted the request to the California Workforce Development Board for review, and subsequently received local board certification for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. The WIOA Section 107 provided the criteria for the recertification of local boards. The recertification process requires the Governor to certify one Local Board for each Local Area in the state once every two years. The period for recertification is July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018. The Governor shall approve a request made for local board recertification by any local area if the area did the following during Program Year(s) 2013-2014 and 2014-2015: 1.) Met WIOA membership requirements; 2.) Performed successfully; and, 3.) Sustained fiscal integrity. Local Boards requesting recertification must also provide a status update that outlines progress made towards implementation of key WIOA provisions. The Mendocino County LWDA meets the criteria for recertification and, at the April 10, 2016 meeting the WDB approved the recertification request. A signature of the Chairperson of the Board of Supervisors is also required by June 23, 2016 to make the request effective. Approval of the attached Local Board Recertification Request and submission to the California State Workforce Investment Board and the California State Employment Development Department will ensure that workforce development services continue to be provided to Mendocino County local area residents.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not sign the application and direct staff to begin looking for other local workforce developments areas to merge with. This alternative may delay local receipt of WIOA funding and cause delay in related services.
