DISCUSSION
On October 3, 2005, the City Council approved the Santa Ana Workforce
Investment Board (WIB) recommendation to fund the youth service provider
contracts utilizing the Program Year 2005-06 Workforce Investment Act
(WIA) grant allocation and a portion of carry-over funds from 2004-05.
The services to be provided included comprehensive education and
employment preparation services for both In-School and Out-of-School
youth who are Santa Ana residents between the ages of 14 and 21. Under
the WIA, the Santa Ana WIB is required to procure and make funding
recommendations in order to provide required WIA services to local
qualified youth. On June 24, 2005, the Santa Ana WIB authorized the
release of a new Request for Proposal seeking providers of youth services
for the period of October 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006, utilizing
Program Year 2005-06 WIA youth funds.
Each of the service providers has expressed an interest in continuing to
provide youth education and employment services. The agreements will
ensure the continuation of these programs utilizing the WIA youth funding
for Program Year 2006-07.
