APPROVAL OF THE MARCH 5, 2015, MEETING MINUTES

Stacy Ferreira made a motion to approve the March 5, 2015, meeting minutes. Bryan Mathews seconded the motion. All Ayes. The motion carried.

Update on Program Year 2015-16 Funding Levels for National Farmworker Jobs Program and Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Adult, Dislocated Worker and Combined Programs

Anne Meert gave an update on the funding levels for the National Farmworker Jobs Program, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act adult, dislocated worker and combined programs for Program Year 2015-16. Anne stated that while transitioning from the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) the U.S. Department of Labor is requiring an orderly and seamless transition. Since the regulations are still in draft form and we are required to move forward, our Workforce Development Board approved a procurement exception to allow a one-year extension to fund contracts for contract for the period July 1, 20 l 5,

2

to June 30, 2016, under the National Farmworker Jobs Program and WIOA adult, dislocated worker and combined programs.

Information had been sent out to current providers asking for budget information and any changes that they thought needed to take place for the new program year. Anne stated that the dollar amounts are remaining almost level with the budget level given the previous year. The final dollar amounts and the funding stream for each contracted agency for Program Year 20 l 5-16 were shown on an attached spreadsheet. Anne explained that the youth programs had a separate procurement that is presented to the Youth Council. Anne asked that Members notice there is a change in the supportive service amount for Delano Farmworker clients.

PROGRAM YEAR 2015-16 FUNDING UPDATE

Grace Tran gave an update stating that Employers' Training Resource (ETR) has a $21.8 Million budget for Program Year 2015-16 which was approved by the Board of Supervisors during the August County Budget Hearings. Grace reported that Farmworker funds will remain the same but there was an increase in Formula Funds of nearly 6% and that Lhis is the first increase in six years.

Grace also reported that the budget was increased by $130,503 in September 2015 when ETR received unanticipated revenue from La Cooperativa Campesina de California for a National Dislocated Worker Drought Temporary Jobs Program.

Grace reviewed how the funding was distributed by reviewing the chart in the agenda packet.

DROUGHT TEMPORARY JOBS PROGRAM UPDATE

Anne Meert reported that ETR received $96,752.06 from La Cooperativa Campesina de California to operate a temporary jobs program providing jobs for workers or members of their family dislocated or w1deremployed because of the drought and workers who are long-term unemployed. Long-term unemployed is defined as being unemployed in 15 of the last 26 weeks. An amount of $33,750.79 is also available for supportive services for participants. The new program will run from July 1, 2015, through December 31 , 2016.

Anne stated that the agreement has an enrollment goal of 117 participants. The worksites must be public worksites or non-profit organizations. ETR has begun contracting with County departments. Currently, two participants are working with ETR, one with the Kem County Parks and Recreation Department and one with Public Works. Work must be drought mitigated and consistent with the core mission of the host agency. For example, a position could include removal of dead trees or damage caused by flooding of dry land.

Lydia Rogers added that the program currently has 45 positions and we have filled four with another four pending. There has been a media release and ETR is currently receiving phone calls from the general public about the program. ETR is also working with clients currently enrolled in other funding streams to determine if there are any currently any long-term unemployed participants that may qualify and benefit from this new program.

2...

ETR staff is currently outreaching to other County departments and those departments seem eager to begin hiring participants from this program and ETR is optimistic about being able to find 117 participants for this grant.

Leo Bautista asked if all participants have to be affected by the drought and Lydia stated that yes they have to be unemployed and affected by the drought or long-term unemployed in a drought affected area. This covers all of Kern county.

Anne stated that because this is special program, participants are not treated like ETR's regular work experience participants and just put at a site. Each participant must interview for the position and complete any pre-requisites such as drug screens and back ground checks prior to being employed. Participants are paid a wage equal to a regular employee with that agency. The only limitation to this is that each participant can make up to a maximum of$ 14,000.

Anne explained that ETR has a vital role in the administrative work. Some of the administrative work ETR does is: keep track of each participant's hours, supportive services issued, review time sheets, submit time sheets, and deliver checks to work sites. ETR wi ll be reaching out to other agencies and is currently working on an agreement for non-county agencies including Community Action Partnership to help provide water tanks with the self-help program.

Jeremy Tobias asked if these positions would be listed as a "hot job". Lydia stated that it is currently going to be on television and will also be listed on our website as well as listed at our weekly job squad meetings at the AJCC Southeast and Oildale locations. The locations of the jobs will not be listed so potential participants must follow the instructions on how to apply. Lydia also mentioned that at the last job squad meeting, seven potential participants were recruited.

Anne mentioned that our objective is to reach out to the employers first so that we have positions ready for eligible participants. The goal is to not have more eligible participants than job sites.

Bryan Mathews asked if there are any negotiations with any of the job sites to keep some of the participants after their time in this program has ended. Lydia stated that many of the county departments would like to keep some of the participants permanently and are using the interview as a starting point. Bryan said he would be interested to see how many of the 117 participants receive long-term employment after this program has ended and would like a report from ETR staff if possible.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Elaine Basham updated the Committee on the Fiscal Year 2016 appropriations. She stated that the appropriations are supposed to be finished by the start of the FiscaJ Year, October, 1, 2015, but this is not likely because many of the appropriation bills have not made it to either house of Congress to be voted on.

Elaine stated that the House Labor-Education-HHS will keep the WIOA adult, dislocated workers, and youth formula funding level at the same levels as last year. However, in order to do this, the National Emergency Grant has been reduced by more than 65 percent.

Elaine stated that effective July 1, 2015, the Kern, Inyo and Mono Local Workforce Investment Area and Board became the Local Workforce Development Area and Board. On August 7, 2015, the state granted initial Local Area Designation through June 30, 2017, and Board certification through June 30, 2016.

WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY ACT UPDATE

Elaine Basham updated the Committee about the five-year plan. She stated that under WIOA the State has to develop a new five-year plan which now must include the core partners. This includes partners with Title 1 funding - WIOA Adult. Dislocated Worker, and Youth funding. It would also be Wagner Peyser Employment Services, which is provided through the Employment Development Department (EDD). EDD receives the Title 1 funds and disperses them to the local areas.

Since there are no regulations in place at this time, the State has said that we can continue with our current five-year plan. Our five-year plan is a living document and can be adjusted as needed or as changes come up.

Roger Schmitt talked about the new performance standards. Magda Menendez wanted him to be sure he understood how those new performance standards are difficult to achieve and how it wi ll be forcing some training providers to drop off the Eligible Training Provider List. Roger understands this is a problem and at this time there is nothing we or he can do.

COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS

Eric Cooper (via conference phone) informed the Committee that the San Bernardino Board is dissolving as of December 2015. This was a decision made by their Board of Supervisors. Also, the Riverside Board was dissolved, as of July, 1, 2015, by their Board of Supervisors. The members of both Boards were given information on how to apply if interested in serving on the new Board.

MISCELLANEOUS FILINGS

The Committee received copies of the Fourth Quarter Enrollment Plan vs. Actual Report, Fourth Quarter Budget vs. Actual report and the Workforce Development Board and Committees Meeting Schedule for 20 15.

BOARD MEMBER TRAVEL POLICY

Anne Meert presented Members with a draft travel policy and a recommended travel budget of $4,000 budget. Anne explained that when WDB and Committee members have traveled in the past to trainings or conferences, the costs had been paid by the member' s employer, by the members themselves, or underwritten by Employers' Training Resource using non-Workforce Investment Act monies.

Anne explained that the WDB would approve a travel budget annually, members requesting cost reimbursement must be in good standing and if they represent an agency that could also benefit from this conference. they must request sponsorship or cost sharing from their employer first . She explained that the Initial approval will be sought by the Executive Committee, if time permits due to the meeting schedule or the WDB chairperson. Final approval must be granted by the County Administrative Office and the Kem County Board of Supervisors.

Anne explained that the allowed expenses would fo llow the County of Kern travel, meals, and lodging policies, which change from time to time, and that documentation of expenses is required. Employers' Training Resource (ETR) will assist in making conference registration and travel arrangements. She also stated that members that attend will be required to provide a report of that training or conference at the next scheduled WDB or Youth Council Meeting.

Anne also said that County Counsel is still reviewing the draft policy and she will let the WDB know if there are any changes or additions to what she is presenting.

Several members discussed concern that $4,000 per year did not seem like it would be enough.

Members decided that they would like to recommend $10,000 as the budget the first year.

BOARD MEMBER TRAVEL POLICY

Dear Board Member:

At your last meeting in May, your Board approved the recommendation to develop a Board Member Travel Policy. This policy would be applicable to both the Workforce Development Board (WDB) and the Youth Council (YC). Currently, on the occasion that members attend conferences or training, the associated costs are paid by the members themselves or their employers, or underwritten from a non-Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) account.

We realize the importance of having a well-informed and well-trained WDB and YC and wish to encourage members to participate in regional, state and national workforce training seminars and conferences. Participation in such events enable members to gain important knowledge and expertise through exposure to and sharing of best practices, trends and challenges with workforce development stakeholders. This is especially vital as the WTOA is the first legislative reform of the public workforce system in 15 years.

Many Boards have established travel policies and guidelines to document and justify the use of governmental funds to cover travel expenses. In looking at what other Workforce Development Areas have in place, and taking into consideration the County of Kern's rules and administrative procedures governing travel, the attached "Kem, Inyo, Mono Counties Consortium Workforce Development Board and Youth Council Travel Policy and Procedures" has been drafted.

Key items in the policy include the following:

• Members who represent agencies which benefit from the conference/ training must request sponsorship or cost sharing from their employer first. The response from their employer and the amount of any sponsorship must be provided along with the travel request.

• Travel requests must be submitted to Employers' Training Resource (ETR). Based on the recommendation of the ETR Director, initial approval will be sought by the Executive Committee (if time permits due to the meeting schedule) or the WDB Chairperson. Final approval must be granted by the County Administrative Office and the Kem County Board of Supervisors.

• ETR will communicate travel opportunities to members. Dates and locations for the three main California Workforce Association (CWA) conferences are provided below. While these are the more costly events, other opportunities for Board Member travel include the Day at the Capitol and one-day workshops.

• Priority will be for members whose costs will be shared, members more likely to benefit based on the conference/meeting topic, and officers of the WDB and YC.

• Allowed expenses will follow the County of Kern ' s travel, meals, and lodging policies and rates which change from time to time. Documentation of expenses is required. ETR will assist in making conference registration and travel arrangements.

• Members are required to provide a report on the conference/training at the next meeting of the WDB or YC.

The annual travel budget will be made up of the WlOA formula grant funds; however, training or conferences which are grant-specific will be charged to that grant. The number of members expected to be able to attend events wilJ depend on travel costs, cost sharing and sponsorships.

At its October 8, 2015 meeting, the Executive Committee reviewed the draft "Kern, Inyo, Mono Counties Consortium Workforce Development Board and Youth Council Travel Policy and Procedures." The Committee was infonned that the policy is currently being reviewed by County Counsel. The Executive Committee approved the policy, subject to changes, and recommended an annual travel budget of $10,000.

Therefore, it is recommended that your Board approve the ''Kem, Inyo, Mono Counties Consortium Workforce Development Board and Youth Council Travel Policy and Procedures," subject to changes made by your Board or the County of Kem, and the annual Board Member travel budget of $10,000.

KERN, INYO, MONO COUNTIES CONSORTIUM WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND YOUTH COUNCIL

TRAVEL POLICY AND PROCEDURES (Covering Conference/Training/Seminar Attendance and Travel)

[Draft - October 2015]

1. PURPOSE

The Governor of California has designated the Kern, Inyo, Mono Counties Consortium (KIM) as a Local Workforce Development Area under the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA). The Workforce Development Board (WDB) and Youth Council (YC) members are encouraged to attend events that will enhance their knowledge of local, State and Federal WIOA issues. Members can and should take advantage of the workshops and opportunities for networking to further their ability to contribute to the Board and Council's effectiveness.

In an effort to minimize any financial hardships service on the WDB or YC may cause its members and in order to sponsor and encourage member participation at conferences, training and seminars, WIOA funds may be used to reimburse members for authorized expenses incurred during service to the WDB and YC. This policy sets forth the guidelines for such spending and reimbursement and is based on the County of Kern's travel, meal and lodging policy which is changed from time to time.

As limited funding will be made available for WDB and YC members to travel (the amount to be approved by the WDB annually), the WDB Chairperson will encourage and seek volunteers, approve requests and make recommendations through the Executive Committee, as time permits. It is expected that nonbusiness members (e.g., those members representing community-based organizations, education, labor, partner agencies, etc.) seek funding from their own agencies/organizations first. There may be occasions when sharing costs will be considered particularly when agencies/organizations have a duality of purpose in the conference or training seminar. Members who represent agencies/organizations and who have WIOA or other workforce funds available should use those funds prior to asking for WDB sponsorship.

2. MEMBER ELIGIBILITY TO REQUEST TRAVEL AND PRIORITY OF SERVICE

In order for travel requests to be considered, the member must:

• Be listed on the KIM WDB or YC roster on file at the Kern County Board of Supervisors;

KIM Board Member Travel Policy Draft October 2015 1-,

• Be a member in good standing defined as unexpired term and meeting attendance requirements; and

• Have complied with the travel policy in the past, if applicable, including the requirement to provide a written and/or oral report at the next WDB or YC meeting following the conference or training seminar.

To encourage broad participation, generally a member will be considered for one conference or training seminar per year, and the number of attendees per event will be limited. Priority will be given to members whose costs will be shared by another entity, members more likely to benefit than other members (based on the training/seminar/conference topic}, and officers of the WDB and YC.

Events which involve no cost are not covered by this policy. Members are encouraged to attend local events, participate in free webinars, and leverage other resources to expand their workforce development knowledge and to network.

Only approved training/seminars/conferences will be considered under this policy. All expenses must be justified to demonstrate that they are necessary and reasonable. Examples of allowed events include the California Workforce Association (CWA) Annual Youth Conference, Spring Conference and Meeting of the Minds. Employers' Training Resource (ETR} staff will alert the WDB and YC of upcoming events. The Executive Committee and WDB Chairperson will have final approval as to which events will be considered allowable and which travel requests will be approved, based on the recommendation of the ETR Director. As the Executive Committee and WDB meet quarterly, to ensure timely travel reservations and meeting "early bird" or government discounts, the WDB Chairperson will be authorized to approve events and travel requests on behalf of the Executive Committee. These approvals will be reported at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Executive Committee and the WDB. The WDB Chairperson will resolve any conflicts that may arise regarding conference attendance. The Kern County Board of Supervisors has final approval of travel using WIOA or other County funds.

3. BOARD MEMBERNOUTH COUNCIL TRAVEL REQUEST FORM

Any member requesting travel reimbursement will complete a "Kern. Inyo, Mono Counties Consortium Workforce Development Board/Youth Council Member Travel Request Form" which will require the member to justify why it is in the interest of the WDB or YC for that member to attend the training, seminar or conference. All non-business members will have to provide verification that they have requested the agency or organization they represent to sponsor or partially sponsor their attendance at the training, seminar or conference; the agency or organization response; and the amount of sponsorship, if any.

2 KIM Board Member Travel Policy Draft October 2015

4. TRAVEL REQUESTS

Approved travel requests will be processed by ETR staff following the County of Kern's travel, meals, and lodging policy which changes from time to time.

5. ALLOWABLE EXPENSES

A. General Provisions

When possible, ETR staff will be responsible for all conference registration arrangements, hotel reservations, transportation reservations and trip logistics. Members who use WIOA/County funds to travel should do so in the most reasonable economic manner possible. This would include obtaining government rates or special conference rates at hotels, shopping for reasonable airfares, and using public transportation if available and reasonably convenient. Carpooling is encouraged but not required .

Once a member has been approved to travel, ETR staff will complete the necessary paperwork and submit to the ETR Director, the County Administrative Office, and the Kern County Board of Supervisors for processing/approval.

B. Expenses

Allowable expenses may include the following: • Conference/training registration fees • Hotel accommodations • Mileage • Intercity/state transportation • Toll charges • Parking • Meals (those not provided as part of the conference)

Rates for the above will be determined by the County of Kern's travel policy and/or verified receipts. Members will be required to submit receipts for hotel, parking, and other expenses along with a copy of the agenda or flyer for the event. If valet parking is the only service provided by the hotel for guests, the hotel is to provide a written statement confirming this parking arrangement. Meal per diem is based on location and departure/return times.

C. Automobile Insurance

The liability on any personal vehicle used for WDB or YC business must conform to the minimum requirements of the California Vehicle Code.


Members will not be reimbursed for mileage expenses unless proof of automobile insurance coverage or a Certificate of Insurance is on file with the County of Kern. Members should submit proof of such coverage to ETR staff prior to travel.

6. TRAVEL REQUEST APPROVAL

All travel requests are to be submitted to the ETR Director for review. Requests will be forwarded to the WDB Chairperson and the Executive Committee for consideration and approval. Requests approved will be processed by ETR staff and submitted to the County Administrative Office and the Kern County Board of Supervisors for approval. The member will be notified as soon as possible when the travel request has been finalized. The member may need to submit additional items to complete the travel claim process. Care should be taken to ensure that approved travel does not exceed the WDB/YC travel budget.

7. POST-CONFERENCE REPORT

Members who attend conferences and/or training sessions are expected to make a report to the WDB or YC at the next regular meeting of the WDB or YC following the conference and to contribute informational and training materials to the ETR resource library. This will be an agenda item.

Mr. Todd Yepez, Ms. Ngoc Pham, and Ms. Karen Blake have expressed an interest in serving on the Workforce Development Board Youth Council. Their Statements of Commitment for membership are attached.

Our Youth Council has been out of compliance with the requirement that at least one member be either a current or former youth participant or parent of a participant. Ms. Veronica Vega, a participant enrolled with the Kern High School District (KHSD), has expressed an interest in serving as a youth participant on the Youth Council.

Ms. Ngoc Pham is a Senior Accountant for Airstreams Renewables, Inc. She was a struggling, at-risk youth herself and was able to obtain a college degree and meaningful employment.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE AND LOCAL AREA AND BOARD DESIGNATION

Dear Board Member:

FISCAL YEAR 2016 APPROPRIATIONS

On September 30, 2015, Congress passed a stop-gap Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government until December 11th, in order to keep the federal government operating during the start of the 2016 Fiscal Year (FY) October 1, 2015. Since the CR lasts only a few weeks, this will likely involve more brinksmanship in the run-up to December. On October 2nd the President announced that he would not sign a second short term CR. At this time, the most likely funding amount in a long-term CR is funding at the 2015 level. However, without a vote to exclude sequestration included in the 2013 Budget Control Act, any long term CR will likely include those cuts.

Since your Board last met in May, the House and Senate Budget Committees each completed their appropriation Bills for FY 2016. Those versions of the appropriations, unlike in FY 2014 and 2015, have no agreement in place to reduce the impact of sequestration.

The House Labor Bill would keep Workforce Innovation and Opportunity (WIOA) formula funding level, at the expense of National Emergency Grant (NEG) funds. NEG is reduced by more than 65 percent in order to accommodate an overall reduction without impacting formula funding levels. NEG grants are awarded to states to address workforce needs above and beyond formula Dislocated Worker funds. Our Local Area currently has NEG funds from the State to address the needs of long-term unemployed job seekers.

The Senate Labor Bill would reduce WIOA Title I formula 5 percent with the NEG level down 9.4 percent. This Bill would put funding for these programs near FY 2013 post-sequester level.

CALIFORNIA UNDER THE WORKFORCE lNNOVA TJON AND OPPORTUNITY ACT UPDATE

On August 7, 2015, the state granted final approval to our application for initial Local Area designation through June 30, 2017, and Local Board certification through June 30, 2016. Staff recently commented on a draft directive issued by the State regarding subsequent Board certification. Effective July 1, 2015, the Kem, Inyo and Mono Local Workforce Investment Area and Board are now the Local Workforce Development Area/Board. Since the acronym WIB is now WDB most Areas are referring to them simply as the Local Area and the Local Board.

We will continue to keep your Committee informed of legislative actions including appropriations and changes under WiOA.

WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY ACT (WIOA) UPDATE AND LOCAL BOARD COMMITTEES

Dear Board Member:

TRANSITIONING THE 2013-2017 FrVE-YEAR LOCAL PLAN TO WIOA

Elements of WIOA are being implemented during a "transition" year from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. As we mentioned in the Legislation update, the Local Area and Local Board have been established under WIOA. The California Workforce Development Board (State Board) is currently drafting a unified state plan that now combines California's individual plans for 4 Core programs under WIOA ensuring that all State agency plans are collaborative. The State Board intends to issue the draft WIOA State Plan in October or November. The final approved plan is due to the Department of Labor (DOL) in March 2016. DOL then has 120 days to approve the State Plans and negotiate new performance indicators.

Once the State Board issues the unified plan for review, they will host regional forums for the local areas to comment, ask for clarification, and offer opinions on plan areas of concern to the local board.

The WIOA also requires that the Governor identify planning regions in the state. The purpose is to align workforce activities and resources within larger regional economic development areas, in order to provide coordinated and efficient services. ff the local area is part of a planning region, the local board will submit its local plan as part of the regional plan and will not submit a separate local plan. Although the State Board issued draft directive WSDD-118 in April proposing planning regions, that has not been finalized. Current information from the State is they are still considering having the local area draft a new plan under WIOA, to be followed the next program year with regional plans. This would be in lieu of initiating an entirely new regional planning process while local areas are still transitioning to WIOA.

W ORKFORCE D EVELOPMENT BOARD COMMITTEES UNDER WIOA

On May 21, 2015, your Board chose among a variety of options the composition of the Local Board moving forward under WIOA. One committee mentioned to your Board in May was a standing committee to assist with operational issues relating to the one-stop delivery system. which may include representatives of the one-stop partners. As we notified you in May, the only

One-Stop Partners mandated to be on the Local Board by WIOA are Vocational Rehabilitation and Wagner-Peyser Employer Services.

At that time, your Board chose not to remove any One-Stop Partner agency representatives from the existing Board composition. Instead your Board chose to add Business members in order to bring your Board back to the mandated Business majority. The Labor member was added in order to be in compliance with State law. At that time removing 3 non-business members would also have brought the Business majority into compliance. The Board required additional Business members due to an increase in non-business categories.

Under WIA, your Board had to have 2 community-based organizations (CBO). 2 Education and 1 Economic Development member. In May, the Board had an extra WlA member under: CBOs, Education and Economic Development. Under former State law we had to add Small Business Development Center (SBDC) as a One-Stop Partner agency under WIA, but somehow they got listed as Economic Development instead. In addition, the Perkins grantee, Kem Community College District (KCCD) was added under Education when instead it is a required One-Stop Partner agency. One of the CBO partners, Community Action Partnership of Kem (CAPK) is also a One-Stop Partner agency as the recipient of Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funds.

If your Board continues to desire the WIA Board composition, staff recommends that SBDC and KCCD be moved to One-Stop Partner from Economic Development and Education respectively. Also, we recommend that CAPK be listed as dual role - allowed by law and regulation - to count as a CBO and as a One-Stop Partner agency. There is precedent for this as for example the Employment Development Department represents (1) Wagner-Peyser Employer Services; (2) Unemployment Insurance; (3) Veterans; and ( 4) Trade Adjustment Assistance. Your Board would still be in compliance with WIOA.

Under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) the Board was required to form a Youth Council to advise the Board on policies and youth service providers. WIOA does not require a Youth Council nor any other committee or council. Instead WIOA lists examples of Standing Committees the Local Board may choose from In addition to the One-Stop Operations/Partner committee presented in May, other standing committees allowed under WIOA include:

./ A standing Youth committee to assist with planning, operational, and other issues relating to the provision of services to youth;

./ A standing committee to assist with operational and other issues relating to the provision of services to individuals with disabilities; and

./ The local board may designate standing committees in addition to the standing committees specified above.

Such standing committees shall be chaired by a member of the WDB, may include other members of the WDB, and shall include other individuals appointed by the local Board who are not members of the local Board and who the local Board determines have appropriate experience and expertise.

3

Therefore, staff recommends that you authorize: (1) SBDC and KCCD be moved to One-Stop Partner from Economic Development and Education memberships respectively; (2) that CAPK be listed in a dual role that is, CBO and as a One-Stop Partner agency; (3) accept the former Youth Council as a Standing Youth Committee; and (4) retain your Program and Business Services Committee and the Executive Committee as Standing WDB Committees under WIOA.

Sincerely,

DROUGHTTEMPORARYJOBSPROGRAM

Dear Board Member:

The Department of Labor (DOL) is providing up to $18 million in National Dislocated Worker Grant funding to California to provide jobs for workers dislocated by the drought and workers who are long-term unemployed. The grant term is July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016.

California's Employment Development Department (EDD) will run the program through two organizations - the Northern Rural Training and Employment Consortium in northern California and La Cooperativa Campesina de California in Central California. Through La Cooperativa, Employers' Training Resource (ETR) will receive $96,752.06 to operate the program in Kern County and $33,750.79 for supportive services for participants for a total not to exceed $130,502.85. ETR will be developing and monitoring temporary worksites; determining client eligibility and performing intakes; issuing supportive services; inputting client data and maintaining client files; tracking hours/wages, collecting/reporting payroll data and distributing paychecks; providing weekly and monthly reports to La Cooperativa; and other duties. The agreement has an enrollment goal of 117.

Work done by participants must be specific drought impact mitigation work along with other work consistent with the core mission of the host agency. Examples of the types of work include fire fuel removal. replacement of sod with drought resistant plants, maintenance and upkeep of public facilities and service to local drought relief agencies. Initial work sites will be developed with departments with the County of Kem, including ETR, then be expanded to other public or non-profit organizations. La Cooperativa will act as the employer of record and be responsible for payroll and worker's compensation, accident and medical insurance. Workers are limited to working no more than 1,040 hours or earning $14,000, whichever occurs first. Unemployment Insurance benefits will not be paid.

As workers and households whose incomes have been reduced due to unemployment or underemployment due to the drought and long term unemployed workers (defined as unemployed at time of application and unemployed 15 or more of the previous 26 weeks) are eligible for the grant, ETR is looking at currently enrolled Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)

clients to identify those interested and qualified for the temporary jobs. Outreach will also go beyond current clients to the general population in matching eligible workers to fill work site jobs.

We will keep your Committee updated on this grant.
