www.hireyouth.org
Thank you for the opportunity to revise our original proposal for Youth Services to the Santa Ana
Workforce Investment Board Youth Council.
The Orange County Conservation Corps proposes to enroll an additional eight participants, and
increase our initial funding request by $95,539. This will lower our cost-per-participant by $262.
Additionally, the increased funding will enable the OCOCto expand the scope of work for the fiscal
year to include habitat restoration at Santiago Creek, as well as two new community gardens in the
City of Santa Ana.
The OCCC has a long and positive history with the City of Santa Ana. I am confident that the Orange
County Conservation Corps can utilize the additional funding to make an even greater impact on the
various communities within Santa Ana, especially those most in need of our services.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at 888.641.2677 or
mcarter@hireyouth.org.
Sincerely,

PROPOSAL NARRATIVE FOR YSPN MEMBERSHIP
1. About the Program
The Orange County Conservation Corps is a nonprofit, certified local conservation corps, one of
twelve certified local conservation corps in California. As a certified local conservation corps, the
Orange County Conservation Corp operates under the California Public Resources Code which
mandates several program components, including paid work experience, job training, education,
life skills and pre-employment training. The Corp must maintain its certification each year
through an annual certification review.
The Orange County Conservation Corps incorporates a variety of youth and workforce
development best practices into its program design; and the Corp has been recognized by two
national youth serving organizations for incorporating best practices into their programs. The
Orange County Conservation Corps was one of 14 organizations to be recognized in 2002 for
"Excellence in Corps Operations" by The Corps Network (TCN). This was a four year award
from 2001-2005 and it was recently renewed for 2006-2010.
In 2003 the Corps was recognized by the National Youth Employment Coalition and was
selected as a PEP Net Awardee for 2003-2007 for "Demonstrating
Effective Practices in the Field of Youth Employment and Development".
The OCCC mission is: The Orange County Conservation Corps serves young, at-risk
adults through employment, training and educational programs that build self-sufficiency
and benefit the community through conservation-related projects.
Currently, the Orange County Conservation Corps administers an employment, education and
training program and will enroll more than 200 youth/young adults from throughout Orange
County. The youth/young adults enrolled in the Corp are designated as Corpsmembers.
As a part of their training, Corpsmembers are placed in work experience training for on-the-job
training, and they are paid for the work they do. These paid work experience placements have
been developed by the Corp to assist local cities, county agencies, and other nonprofit agencies
with their conservation needs. The Orange County Conservation Corps work projects are
environmentally-based and benefit the community, such as:
• Beverage container recycling
• Green construction, such as solar panel installation
• Water conservation efforts, including synthetic turf installation
• Fuel load reduction and reforestation
• Urban tree planting and environment enhancement
• Transportation enhancement and other infrastructure projects
• Construction and maintenance of park facilities
• Energy conservation and alternative energy retrofits

Orange County Conservation Corps
Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board - The Youth Service Provider Network
Request for Proposal
PY 2010/2011
Funding for these work projects are provided through the California Department of Resources
Recycling and Recovery Division of Recycling, National Emergency Grants, as well as individual
and corporate contributions, contracts with the Orange County, Anaheim and Santa Ana WIBs,
and social enterprise projects such as the Irvine Recycling Center. The Orange County
Conservation Corps serves as the employer of record and has years of experience handling the
payroll for the Corpsmembers.
Paid work experience is a major component of Orange County Conservation Corps; and the
funding agencies require accurate accounting for all expenditures as well as documentation of
skill achievement. On-the-job training allows the Corpsmembers to earn an income and at the
same time they are trained in new work skills, develop a work ethic, learn responsibility and
demonstrate leadership skills.
The educational component provided by the Corps is made possible through an affiliation with
the John Muir Charter School, which is chartered and administered California, Superintendent of
Schools. This affiliation allows the Orange County Conservation Corps to generate monies
through Average Daily Attendance (ADA) from the State of California, Department of Education.
Also, through this affiliation, Corpsmembers are provided with the opportunity to earning a high
school diploma or a GED as well as receiving instruction targeted toward passing the California
High School Exit Exam. Lastly, in order to transition into future employment and explore further
career opportunities, the Corp provides Corpsmembers with career transition and exploration
via their Corps-2-Career instruction.
Once a participant joins the Corps, they are also required to enroll in the Orange County
Conservation educational program component. The intent of the educational component is to
not only encourage the Corpsmembers to further their formal education but to also help them
link their OJT training to the academics required for the job. Corpsmembers who do not have a
high school diploma or a GED can earn high school credits to meet the requirements necessary
to earn a degree. Those Corpsmembers who do have their high school diploma at the time of
enrollment into the program are required to enroll in some form of post-secondary education,
such as: community college, Regional Occupation Programs (ROP), or local trade schools for
advanced training. If they earn their high school diploma and/or earn a GED after enrollment
into the Corp, they are also required to further their education via additional training.
The Orange County Conservation Corps primarily enrolls, trains, and employs the hardest-to-
reach and neediest segment of our youth population. These are the 18-25 year old out-of-
school youth who are primarily high school dropouts, the youth who are or have been homeless
and/or runaways, the youth in foster care, the youth who are court involved, and the youth who
have had incarcerated parents. They are the youth that fit the description of "at-greater-risk" as
defined by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
However, the Orange County Conservation Corps is not a court mandated program. Youth
come to the Orange County Conservation Corps of their own free-will because they need to
work and want to earn their high school diploma. Almost all are low-income, basic skills
deficient, and have multiple barriers to employment and to furthering their education, such as is
exemplified by the most recent demographics of youth served by the Corps displayed below:
142 young adults enrolled in the PY 2008-2009

PY 201012011
• Average age of those enrolled was 19.8 years
• 84% had not completed high school at the time of entry
• 32% live within the Santa Ana WIB boundaries
• 65% are or have been court-involved, including on probation/parole
• 28% are parents
• 12% are or have been in foster care
• 42% are or have been gang-affiliated
• 32% had incarcerated parents during childhood years
Corpsmembers may remain at the Orange County Conservation Corps for up to two years to
earn... learn... and serve. This gives Corpsmembers the time necessary to develop the skills to
enter the workforce; and the OCCC program provides an opportunity for Corpsmembers to eam
a living through paid work experience, learn job skills and further their education, while they
serve the public by completing work projects. The OCCC considers these three elements tools
to green the future.
But the Corps cannot do all this alone..... To assist corpsmembers in overcoming the barriers
they have to maintaining their employment and/or achieving their educational goals, the Orange
County Conservation Corps also offers support services which are critical to help ensure that
the Corpsmembers are able to obtain and maintain employment post-Corp. The Orange County
Conservation Corps' program design is comprehensive and coordinates services for at-risk
youth through an extensive network of community partners who provide services as in-kind
support.
A. Executive Summary
1. Which WIA population will the program recruit and serve?
For PY 2010-11, the Orange County Conservation Corps proposes to serve Out-of-School WIA
eligible youth who are Santa Ana residents with the legal right to work; are low-income; a high
school dropout; or, a high school graduate/GED recipient that is basic skills deficient, or is
unemployed/underemployed. While Out-of-School youth may be between the ages of 14-21,
the Corps will also recruit and serve older Out-of-School youth primarily between the ages of
18-21. This population will most benefit from the Corps' program design that combines work
and school in a structured, supervised, forty-two (42) hour work/school week.
The Orange County Conservation Corps recruits and serves the neediest youth population that
the Santa Ana Youth Council is committed to serving as identified by the DOUETA New
Strategic Vision for the Delivery of Youth Services Under the Workforce Investment Act ; out-of-
school youth who are primarily high school dropouts, youth who are or have been homeless
and/or runaways, in foster care, are court involved, and had incarcerated parents.
2. Indicate how many participants will be served.
For PY 2010-11, the Orange County Conservation Corps will serve 15 Santa Ana WIA eligible
youth enrolled during the 12-month contract period for this RFP, July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011.

3. Describe how this program fits in with programs currently being offered by your
agency.
The Orange County Conservation Corp has incorporated a variety of best practices from various
state and national models for youth and workforce development to serve this population. The
Corps' basic program design has been in place since 1995; and has expanded and enhanced
its WIA program services since the inception of WIA funding in 1998. The Corps' program
design provides comprehensive and coordinated activities for at-risk youth to meet and exceed
planned expected outcomes in literacy and numeracy gains, attainment of a degree or
certificate and placement in employment or post-secondary education.
• Participants will have an opportunity to receive classroom tutoring to improve basic
reading and math skill levels, if found to be basic skills deficient.
• Participants without a high school diploma will be enrolled into the Corps' John Muir
Charter School to obtain their high school diploma.
• The Corps-2-Career class will help participants to explore future employment, career
and educational opportunities.
• The Orange County Conservation Corps will provide follow-up services to ensure
participants are working towards higher employment earnings and employment retention
services in a variety of venues and settings throughout the county.
4. Indicate which of the 10 WIA elements the program will offer.
The Orange County Conservation Corps program design provides the following WIA elements:
1. Tutoring, study skills training, and instruction leading to completion of secondary school,
including drop-out strategies;
2. Alternative secondary school services;
3. Paid and unpaid work experience;
4. Occupational skill training;
5. Leadership development opportunities;
6. Supportive services;
7. Adult mentoring;
8. Follow up services for a minimum of 12 months after completion;
9. Referrals for comprehensive guidance and counseling (i.e. substance abuse, legal,
medical, family)
The Corps is an open entry and open exit, year round program that normally takes six months to
a year to complete. While youth may be hired during the summer, the Orange County
Conservation Corps does not technically offer the remaining WIA element - summer
employment opportunities.
5. Indicate planned outcomes.
The Orange County Conservation Corps will meet or exceed established WIA outcomes as
follows:

Measurements
Out-of-School Youth 17-21 15 Entered Employment/Education TBD TBD
Attainment of Credential TBD TBD

The Orange County Conservation Corps' program design allows for participants to meet and
exceed planned expected outcomes. All participants enrolled will have an opportunity to receive
classroom tutoring to improve basic reading and math skill levels, if found to be basic skills
deficient. During this time participants without a high school diploma will be enrolled into school
to obtain their high school diploma. The school curriculum includes the Corps-2-Career
transition class to explore future employment, life skills, and career and educational
opportunities. This additional class will allow participants to advance into post-secondary
training and/or higher-earning employment. The Orange County Conservation Corps will
provide follow-up services to ensure participants are working towards higher employment
earnings and employment retention.
6. Describe the basic program approach (workshop/classroom/in the community).
The Orange County Conservation Program is a transitional work/school program that combines
work and school daily in a structured, supervised 42-hour per week program. Corpsmembers
are normally scheduled to work for 32 paid hours per week and attend ten hours of education
(unpaid) each week. Corpsmembers work eight hours (paid) per day Monday through Thursday.
They attend education (unpaid) for two hours after work Monday through Thursday, and for two
hours on Friday.
The Corps uses a variety of approaches to effectively deliver its program components and meet
the various learning styles of its Corpsmembers. Services for out-of-school youth, who have
generally dropped out of school, must be varied and interesting in order to engage them in the
program. Therefore activities must be planned that are not just classroom based, but
incorporate a variety of venues and methods to ensure training and instruction is interesting and
most important applicable to their needs.
The Corps integrates field training with classroom instruction to connect academic skills with
occupational skills. Instruction, both academic and occupational, is designed and delivered
knowing that most Corpsmembers' basic academic skills are below the 81h grade level.
Instruction may be classroom-based, field-based, on-line, individual, small/large group, crew
based, using demonstrations, lectures, packets, guest speakers, and individual research.
The Orange County Conservation Program utilizes the following approaches:
In the community.
• the Corps has work projects;
• educational field trips; work related field trainings;
• participation in community events and youth oriented groups, meetings, events to
instill a sense of community service and pride;
In the Classroom:

• the Orange County Conservation Corps' charter high school; new Corpsmember
orientation,
• vocational and occupational skills training; life skills, pre-employment skills, etc;
• specialized trainings (CPR/First Aid, Forklift, Chainsaw certification, etc.);
• safety demonstrations, leadership development, support services and
educational topics (health, substance abuse, financial literacy, etc.).
7. Describe how you will conduct outreach and recruitment. Include how 75% of the
enrollment goal will be met by the second quarter of the contract.
The Orange County Conservation Corps recruitment plan is as follows:
Months: Jul- Se 2010 Oct-Dec 2010 Jan-Mar 2011 Apr-Jun 2011 Totals
Enrollments: 6 6 3 0 15
The Orange County Conservation Corps will recruit and enroll twelve (12) WIA eligible
participants before the end of the second quarter of the program year. The remaining three (3)
youth will be enrolled before the end of the third quarter of the program year. Under this plan
the Corps will have recruited and served 80% (12 of 15) of the total youth to be served for the
program year by the end of the second quarter, allowing sufficient time for youth to be served
during the program year.
The outreach and recruitment plan for this program will target youth most in need and will be
recruited through the following:
• Outreach to local organizations such as Boy & Girls Club, YMCA
• Local school districts and alternative schools
• County alternative schools
• Probation officers
• Youth and Family Resource Center
• Word-of-mouth (family, friends)
• Job fairs/presentations
In addition to the normal recruitment strategies of job fairs, partner networks, and presentations
to and referrals from local groups and organizations, the OCCC will employ "street outreach" to
recruit the WIA participants. Street outreach entails handing out flyers with the Corp's toll-free
telephone number (888.641.2677) and website address (www.hireyouth.org); and interacting
with youth where youth "hang out" in parks, malls, food courts, week-end community events,
and even walking local neighborhoods. Historically the Corp's most effective recruitment
strategy has been referrals from former and current Corpsmembers, their family, and friends, as
well as through advertisements in such periodicals as the PennySaver.
8. Describe collaborations/partnerships that will assist in recruitment.
The Orange County Conservation Corps participates in more than thirty community events each
year and attends a variety of ongoing partner meetings with various agencies county-wide such
as the Orange County Workforce Investment Board, the Santa Ana WIA Providers Network and
the-Youth Leadership Academy. Other agencies include, but are not limited to, Corrections, ___
page 6 of 23
EXHIBIT A
orange County Conservation Corps
Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board - The Youth Service Provider Network
Request for Proposal
PY 201012011
Probation, and various Social Services agencies, both public and nonprofit, such as Olive Crest.
Therefore any staff member attending a meeting with other agencies or provider networks (i.e.
Corrections, Probation, Social Services Agency) in other parts of the county will be recruiting for
all Orange County Conservation Corps programs, including Santa Ana WIA. It is not
uncommon to get a referral from someone who attended an event or meeting outside of Santa
Ana but passes the information on to family/friends/co-workers that live in Santa Ana.
B. Main Purpose of Program
1. Indicate what the program will accomplish and how it fits in with WIA goals
The Orange County Conservation Corps' Organizational Purpose is to empower youth and
young adults to become self-sufficient members of their community. The Corps accomplishes
this by offering various programs that provide opportunities for educational, professional, and
personal development that will provide the necessary skills to develop and maintain a positive
work ethic and provide a lasting foundation to enable youth to enter the workforce and be
successful, productive, members of society.
The Orange County Conservation Corps' approach to employability teaches teamwork,
cooperation, and a positive work ethic by utilizing work projects that are beneficial to the
community and the environment. The approach also creates an atmosphere where
Corpsmembers have the chance to develop on an educational, professional, and personal level.
This long term, holistic approach to working with youth, assists them in overcoming the multiple
barriers that most at-risk youth have in their lives. Without a holistic approach, youth may
complete a short term training course, earn a valuable certificate to get a job, but not be able to
maintain that job due to their inability to deal with personal issues that cause them to have poor
attendance and/or not be productive in the workplace. While short term training programs and
workshops have a place in youth and workforce development, a more long term, holistic
approach is needed by many, and especially the neediest, youth to ensure that they have the
time and support to overcome the multiple barriers they face to becoming lifelong learners,
trainable, employable, and self-sufficient members of society.
The Orange County Conservation Corps will enroll into this program the neediest at-risk youth
as designated by the Santa Ana Youth Council, those who need to learn how to work and go to
school. For various reasons these youth have not been able to stay in school and/or maintain
employment; and the Corps might offer them their first opportunity for their first job. The Corps
is not a short term, quick fix; instead it is a six to twelve month comprehensive program with
various components and strategies designed to guide and support youth into being employable,
trainable, self-sufficient adults. The program's support services and paid work experience help
will help the youth to stabilize their lives and help them deal with the many issues they face on a
daily basis so they can first maintain their employment and education program. Once the youth
become stable and are able to maintain employment and education, they can then focus on
furthering their education, improving their work skills, and seeking better employment post-
corps.
With this philosophy, the Orange County Conservation Corps' program will accomplish the
following:
page 7 of 23

• Provide jobs for fifteen Santa Ana youth as they are hired by the Corps to complete
various work projects;
• Meettexceed the WIA outcomes for entered employment or education, credential
attainment, and skill gains as outlined by the Santa Ana Youth Council;
• Youth who are unemployed and out of school will become enrolled at the Corps and
enrolled in the Orange County Conservation Corps' Charter School to earn their high
school diploma or GED;
• Provide "soft" and "hard" occupational skills training needed to complete Orange County
Conservation Corps' work projects (i.e. landscaping, construction, recycling);
• Youth will learn to apply these "soft" and "hard" skills training to other work and school
opportunities post- Orange County Conservation Corps;
• Provide multiple work and educational experiences that will allow youth to seek a variety
of career and educational choices and opportunities post- Orange County Conservation
Corps;
• Provide paid work experience, trainings, and certificates to develop and/or improve their
resumes for future employment;
• Develop and maintain a portfolio that highlights their work/school/credential
accomplishments to use in seeking employment post- Orange County Conservation
Corps;
• Complete high school credits to earn a high school diploma through the Orange County
Conservation Corps' Charter School;
• Improve basic skills and improve at least at least two grade levels on a standardized
tests (i.e., STAR, TABE);
• Practice and prepare to pass the CA High School Exit Exam;
• Earn scholarships for post-secondary instruction;
• Develop leadership skills through various crew based and individual trainings;
• Transition successfully from the Corps' program into employment and/or post-secondary
instruction;
• Complete work projects that benefit our local communities and instill a sense of
community service and pride in their communities.
2. What is the length of the program, i.e., how much time will a youth need to be in this
program to get the full benefits of each component offered?
The Orange County Conservation Corps' program is an open entry, open exit program; and
youth may be recruited and enter the program at any time. They may also exit the program at
anytime based on individual needs, accomplishments, and abilities. Youth may work for the
Corps for a maximum of 24 months as long as they receive satisfactory work/school evaluations
and are making progress towards completing individual work and education goals.
All program components are ongoing and available on a year round basis. Specialized trainings
and workshops are offered at least quarterly. Any youth who stays with the Corps for six
months will be able to participate in the full array of services and programs offered by the
Orange County Conservation Corps.

3. How often will the WIA participant need to attend the program and how often are
specific activities offered (daily/weekly/monthly)?
WIA participants will attend the program daily, five days a week. All Corpsmembers, including
WIA participants, will be scheduled for 42 hours of work/school each week; 32 hours of paid
work experience and ten hours unpaid of education/class time.
The WIA Corpsmembers will be scheduled to work eight hours per day Monday through
Thursday. Orange County Conservation Corps' charter school classes will be scheduled daily
for two hours after work Monday through Thursday and for two hours on Friday. Week-end or
evening activities and events will be scheduled as needed. These activities or events will offer
opportunities to volunteer and/or work in the community.
Additional activities will include regularly scheduled Alcohol and Narcotic cessation meetings
("AA" or "NA"); workshops to provide financial, emotional, and medical instruction and advice
(i.e., financial literacy, anger management, tobacco cessation); and educational field trips.
4. What is the frequency of staff interaction with the participant? Will other non-WIA
agency staff be providing elements of the program?
Various Orange County Conservation Corps staff members will meet daily with WIA
Corpsmembers to deliver program components. WIA Corpsmembers will be assigned to work
in a crew which will be supervised by a Crew Supervisor. The Crew Supervisor will work
Monday-Thursday with WIA Corpsmembers to complete assigned work projects. The Orange
County Conservation Corps' charter school teachers will also interact with WIA Corpsmembers
on a daily basis as they attend class five days a week, Monday-Friday. Week-end work/school
activities will be scheduled as needed and appropriate. The WIA Program Specialist (case
manager) will meet weekly/daily to monitor the participant's progress in meeting their Individual
Service Strategy goals, and other work/school/personal issues that may arise. Other Corps
staff or interns meet with WIA Corpsmembers as needed for specialized trainings, workshops,
or individualized follow up regarding work/school/personal issues that may arise.
Other organizations such as social services, counseling centers, probation/parole, etc., may be
providing outside support services as in-kind support for this proposal. Many WIA participants
may come to the Corps already involved in such services while others may be referred. The
Corps strongly believes in the All Youth, One System concept which promotes networking with
many outside entities to ensure all WIA Corpsmembers are linked to a variety of support
services in the community.
5. What services will be offered after youth exits the program? How will program keep in
touch with youth who have existed?
WIA Corpsmembers will obtain services from the Corps after they separate from the program as
needed. These services include:
• Support services; referrals for legal, medical, substance abuse, health, housing,
family/personal guidance and counseling; help with tools, books, clothing, other items
needed for interviews, job requirements, advanced training, etc.

C. Goals / Objectives and Performance Levels
1. How will services to be provided aid in meeting the WIA performance goals?
The Orange County Conservation Corps program design teaches youth how to work and go to
school. The Corps follows all applicable labor and charter school laws, regulations, policies and
procedures California employers and charter schools must follow. In order to remain enrolled in
the Orange County Conservation Corps, the WIA Corpsmembers must follow and abide by the
Corps policies and procedures for work and school. To work at the Corps the WIA participants
must also have an educational goal and be making satisfactory progress towards that goal to
remain employed. Therefore, the Program Specialist meets with WIA Corpsmembers on a
regular basis to review their progress and develop a dropout prevention plan. By learning
employer expectations and following standard work rules and procedures, WIA Corpsmembers
will be prepared to both enter and maintain employment. If a WIA Corpsmember has chronic
attendance problems and has exhausted all forms of progressive discipline, they will be referred
to partnering agencies that may be more for suitable for their needs.
The following current services will meet the needs of WIA performance standards:
• 32 hours each week of paid work experience;
• "Soft" and "hard" occupational skills training (habitat/park/trail restoration, construction,
recycling, facility maintenance, office skills);
• Tutoring, study skills, instruction leading to a high school diploma and to meet literacy
and numeracy gains;
• Drop-out prevention strategies (for both work and school);
• Orange County Conservation Corps staff as adults mentors;
• Crew-based and individual leadership development (crew leader training);
• Alternative secondary school - OCCC Charter high school that combines work and
school to facilitate completing secondary school;
• Support services; referrals for legal, medical, substance abuse, health, housing,
family/personal guidance and counseling; help with tools, books, clothing, other items
needed for interviews, job requirements, advanced training, etc.

work, educational, and career development. Program Specialist will meet with the Crew
Supervisor weekly and as needed to discuss participant's performance and or to identify
potential problems. Program Specialist will visit participant's work crew at least once a month to
show support and encouragement. During these on-site work crew visits, the Program
Specialist will also have the opportunity to work with the participant on their ISS (Individual
Service Strategy) to review and measure participant's progress and performance. The Program
Specialist will also meet with the participant's teacher at least once a month to review and
discuss participant's academic performance. If participant is found to be basic skill deficient and
involved in ongoing tutoring sessions, the Program Specialist will meet with the tutor monthly to
identify the participant's progress towards improving their basic skill levels. For participants who
are high school graduates and enrolled into the OCCC Corps-2-Career class, the Program
Specialist will ensure that the participant is making progress towards completing all required
components.
For participants who are lacking in any of the above components, the Program Specialist and
appropriate staff will meet to discuss and strategize a plan to help participants succeed. To
motivate and encourage participants to complete various components, the Corps will use
incentives/bonus plan which consist of quarterly merit raises, promotions, and quarterly
recognition events. The following policies have been implemented for program year 2010-2011
as tools in the management of performance:
Incentive Procedures:

3. Describe how program will deliver academic assistance to raise the skill level of youth
who are basic skill deficient.
The Orange County Conservation Corps will use a standardized tests (i.e., TABE, STAR) to
determine basic math and reading skill levels. All WIA participants enrolled into the John Muir
Charter School will be issued the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). The test
monitors progress towards meeting the high school exit criteria, academic progress, and literacy
and numeracy gains which are required by the charter school. If students fail the CAHSEE test,
they will be required to attend tutoring sessions once a week with a John Muir Charter School
page 12 of 23
EXHIBIT A
orange County Conservation Corps
Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board - The Youth Service Provider Network
Request for Proposal
PY 2010/2011
Staff and register with an online program (Skill Tutor) which allows students to self tutor and
improve math and reading skill levels.
WIA Corpsmembers will meet daily with certificated teachers for a total of ten hours per week of
in-class instruction and tutoring to deliver academic assistance to raise the skill level of basic
skills deficient youth. The Orange County Conservation Corps' John Muir Charter School
delivers its academic instruction knowing that most WIA corpsmembers' basic academic skills
are below the 81h grade. In addition to classroom instruction, other assistance provided may be:
field based, on-line, individual, small/large group, crew-based, using demonstrations, lectures,
packets, guest speakers, and individual research.
4. Will the participant receive a certificate of completion or accomplishment for
participation? Will the certificate count for WIA credential attainment rate?
The Orange County Conservation Corps WIA Corpsmembers may receive several certificates of
completion or accomplishment for participation as follows:
• California high school diploma;
• AmeriCorps Education Award (scholarship);
• Forklift, Chainsaw, Red Cross CPR/First Aid Certifications;
• Corpsmember Bonus Plan awards include a certificate plus a cash bonus.
A high school diploma is a state-recognized certificate that can count in the WIA credential rate.
A CPR/First Aide or Forklift certification can count as a credential if participant chooses to use
this credential as a condition to employment elsewhere. Both certifications come in the form of
a state-recognized license which can count in WIA credential rate. Other certificates come
internally from the OCCC and are not necessarily state recognized.
5. How will continuous improvement be measured and conducted?
The Orange County Conservation Corps is committed to continuous improvement and will utilize
the following strategies and activities:
• WIA Corpsmember satisfaction surveys;
• WIA Corpsmember community meetings monthly that involve all staff and
corpsmembers;
• Work sponsor survey evaluation when a work project is completed
• Weekly or semi-monthly internal monitoring meetings for program
compliance/performance;
• Two (2) staff development days for full staff that relate to program evaluation, mission,
planning, etc;
• Multiple program/grant site reviews and audits for program/grant compliance;
• Annual corps certification review;
• Annual independent financial audit;
• Annual program evaluations by corpsmembers, staff, and Board members;
• An annual Board of Directors planning day;
• An annual Executive Director workplan that is monitored by the Board;
• A three-year OCCC Strategic Plan;

• Membership with organizations and conference attendance that promote continuous
improvement.
6. Describe how adequate staffing will be maintained to ensure success of this program.
Two full-time Corps staff members will be responsible for recruiting Santa Ana youth. The
Recruiter will be responsible for recruiting and will allocate a portion of their time to specifically
recruit Santa Ana youth. The Program Specialist (case manager) assigned to the Santa Ana
WIA contract will be responsible for ensuring enrollment goals are met and will also allocate a
portion of their time to recruitment. Selected Santa Ana corpsmembers will be trained to
accompany staff and provide "peer recruitment" to assist staff with street outreach and help
organize and manage the Corps' booths at the various Santa Ana job fairs and community
events. Other Corps staff may also provide recruitment through ongoing collaborations and
networking with other agencies county-wide as in-kind support of this proposal.

3. Describe how training and employment services lead to occupations in high
growth/high demand industries.
Employment services that are provided through the Corps-2-Career class lead to occupations in
high growth/high demand industries. WIA Corpsmembers in the Carps-2-Career class use the
O*NET Interest ProfilerTM compatible with Holland's R-1-A-S-E-C Interest Structure (Holland,
1985) to assess their career occupational interest. Based on the obtained results, the WIA
Corpsmembers research the jobs on O*NET to obtain expected job growth, wages and
educational requirements. Subsequently, depending on the training that is needed,
page 16 of 23
EXHIBIT A
Jrange County Conservation Corps

Corpsmembers are referred to ROP, Community Colleges, Apprenticeship Programs and
Technical Schools. Additionally, presenters are scheduled from a variety of high-demand
industries including green jobs, medical careers, etc.
4. Describe how training and services result in career paths that lead youth towards self-
sufficiency. Please provide Labor Market Information if training is provided.
The Orange County Conservation Corps will provide the WIA Corpsmembers with hard skills
(on the job training, certifications, etc.) and soft skills (responsibility, discipline, punctuality,
uniform standards, etc.) which lead to job retention. The WIA Corpsmembers will be exposed to
presentations, workshops, and fieldtrips to assist them in developing career paths. The Corps-
2-Career Specialist will work individually with the WIA Corpsmembers to develop personalized
goals (post-secondary education, job placement, and career development) that lead them to
self-sufficiency. Specific Labor Markets include Green Building Operations, Solar Panel
Installation, and Water Treatment.
D. Facilities

2. How long has your organization been serving Santa Ana youth?
The Orange County Conservation Corps has been serving Santa Ana youth for the last twelve
years.
3. What kind of impact has your services made to the youth in the community?
Santa Ana corpsmembers have:
• Graduated with a high school diploma from the Orange County Conservation Corps
John Muir charter school;
• Earned scholarships for post-secondary instruction;
• Transitioned to full-time employment, gone on to advanced training, and/or are attending
some form of post-secondary instruction;
• Volunteered and participated in numerous Santa Ana community events; neighborhood
clean-ups, Youth Expo, charity events, etc.
• Participated at the local and state level to represent youth; Santa Ana Youth Council,
CWA state conference, local and regional WIB meetings, local youth forums;
• Visited local legislators in Sacramento to advocate for youth.
The Orange County Conservation Corps has:
• Hired and employed more than 602 Santa Ana youth the last 10 years;
page 19 of 23

• Completed numerous work projects to improve and restore several Santa Ana parks
portions of Santiago Creek, and the Santa Ana Zoo;
• Repaired more than 20 low-income homes/apartments in Santa Ana.
B. Experience
1. Briefly outline all youth programs that your agency has operated during the last 2
years. Include discussion of past performance as related to W/A performance goals.
Organizations with no experience in providing WIA services should explain unique
advantages or value associated with their proposal.
While the Orange County Conservation Corps has previously added program components like
construction training & work experience, and programs like Youthbuild, the Orange County
Conservation Corps has operated the same award-winning youth program for the last 17 years
based on state and national models for conservation and youth service corps. Over the years,
the Corps has developed and improved on this basic model to provide a comprehensive,
structured program that provides a wide array of work experiences and services that meets the
needs of local Orange County youth. The program model stresses the importance of education,
occupational skills that lead to employment, leadership development, and post-program follow-
up.
2. What kind of experience do you have in incorporating parents, youth and employers
into your programs?
Since most Orange County Conservation Corps Corpsmembers are adults and many are
estranged from their parents for various reasons, the Corps does not have much experience
with incorporating parents into our program. Unfortunately, most parents of Orange County
Conservation Corps Corpsmembers either do not have the time or the desire to be involved with
the program. Nonetheless, Corpsmember success at the Corps often reunites the
Corpsmembers with their parent(s) as Corpsmembers become more responsible, stable, and
self-sufficient adults. The Orange County Conservation Corps does schedule events throughout
the year to involve family members, be it their parents, their wives/girlfriends,
husbands/boyfriends, and/or children to promote a sense of family and community into our
program.
The Orange County Conservation Corps has nearly 17 years of experience running the Corps'
program which, from the onset, has been designed to incorporate youth. Services have been
available and provided to youth since 1993, and as mentioned above, include paid, on-the-job
training, education through our on-site charter school, and case management services to
address the various and sundry barriers to successful employment and education.
The Orange County Conservation Corps has a long history of incorporating employers into the
Corps' program. Through on-going networking efforts, a dedicated Transition ("Corps-2-
Career') Specialist maintains relationships with employers to assist with post-Corps placement
of Corpsmembers in stable employment. Additionally, the Corps holds job fairs as needed to
place Corpsmembers who have completed the program, as well as inspire the Corpsmembers
still enrolled in the Orange County Conservation Corps John Muir Charter School. This includes
page 20 of 23
EXHIBIT A
orange County Conservation Corps
Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board - The Youth Service Provider Network
Request for Proposal
PY 2010/2011
employers that are considered "felony-friendly", as more than half of our participants are, or
have been, on parole and/or probation.
Furthermore, local employers and their staff participate on our Board of Directors, providing both
feedback from a business perspective, networking opportunities, and valuable contacts with
industry.
3. Describe how staff will receive training and ongoing staff development to increase
staff capacity and expertise in the field of youth development and employment.
All Orange County Conservation Corps staff are required to attend a minimum of 24 hours of
training each year. This includes a variety of topics, including safety, youth development,
leadership and technology. Training is provided through both internal sessions and attendance
at outsourced seminars and presentations. Outside workshops provide an excellent opportunity
for staff (and often Corpsmembers) to learn more about best practices in youth development,
such as the CWA and Gang Prevention & Intervention conferences. Attending such outside
events allows staff to network with other providers, and expands the availability of resources for
our participants. Furthermore, our certificated teaching staff receives a two-day annual "in-
service" training through the OCCC John Muir Charter School.
Staff Development Days are scheduled twice a year, and include team-building and
development exercises for the entire staff. Plus, the Orange County Conservation Corps
maintains an Education Reimbursement benefit for staff that choose to enroll in outside classes
that will have a direct benefit towards their position at the OCCC. Upon approval, tuition and
book expenses are reimbursed upon successful completion of the class.
4. List the positions dedicated to this proposal. Include a description of duties and time
allocation for each responsibility.
Following are the staff dedicated to this project with primary responsibility for providing services,
allocation of time dedicated to this proposal can be found in the attached budget:
• Ralph Jimenez, WIA Program Specialist: AS Public Safety & AA Liberal Arts; Certified
Firefighter; 6 years with the OCCC.

C. Fiscal Capacity
1. Describe the process used to capture and report fiscal data?
The Orange County Conservation Corps utilizes fund accounting to allocate, capture, and report
fiscal data. Since the Corps has multiple revenue streams (federal, state, and local), fund
accounting allows expenses to be tracked and allocated to individual funding sources using a
specific fund account and project code(s) for that fund account. The Santa Ana WIA contract
will be assigned a specific fund number and a specific project code(s). All allowable expenses
will be tracked using the assigned project code(s). Therefore, direct program costs such as staff
time, corpsmember stipends, employer taxes, and other expenses will be tracked using the
appropriate fund and project code(s) on time sheets. Costs for occupancy or transportation that
are not easily tracked with project codes will be allocated on a percentage basis of work hours
charged to the fund. For example, if the fund accounts for 10% of the total hours for that month,
the fund will be allocated 10% of the occupancy and transportation costs for that month. The
Corps captures and reports fiscal data to the Orange County Conservation Corps Board of
Directors monthly and invoices contracts on a monthly basis.
The Orange County Conservation Corps undergoes several program audits and an independent
financial audit each year. The Corps has not received any negative findings or management
letters as a result of these audits.
2. Attach a copy of the procurement policies and procedures.
Please see a copy of our attached procurement policy and procedure.
3. What systems are used to ensure fiscal accountability and appropriate expenditures,
and planned costs.
During the procurement procedure outlined above, the Orange County Conservation Corps
ensures accountability and that expenditures are appropriate and planned. In order for staff to
submit a purchase request, staff must first determine if the purchase is within budget and which
appropriate fund will be charged for the purchase. Budgets and line item accounts to track
expenses are maintained on a monthly basis for all OCCC contracts/grants/departments. All
purchase requests are reviewed by the Corps Director of Finance before payment is made. Any
Purchase Request that appears to be over budget or not planned will be flagged by the Director
of Finance and reviewed by the Executive Director for final approval. The Director of Finance
reviews monthly financials with the entire management team and with the Board of Directors
monthly.
Additionally, the most recent independent audit (FY 2008-2009) shows that 91 % of our funding
has gone to program expenses, a high mark when compared to the fact that 7 out of 10
charities average 76%.

Request for Proposal
PY 201012011
The Orange County Conservation Corps' normal procedure is to invoice between the 10th and
the 201n of each month for services provided in the previous month. Invoices are prepared by
the Director of Finance. All hours worked to provide services are entered along with all
allowable costs tracked by the appropriate fund and project code(s). Once all costs for the
month have been entered, an invoice is prepared. All supporting documentation required or
requested (copies of timesheets, receipts, etc.) for the invoice is attached. The invoice is then
submitted to the Executive Director for review and signature.
Staff assigned to the task include:
• Tai Tony Huynh, Director of Finance.
• Phiyen Pham, Staff Accountant
• Heather Brown, Office Coordinator
5. Describe how agency's financial stability is not dependent on W/A funds.
The funding from SA WIA accounts for approximately 2% of the OCCC annual budget. Almost
half of the Orange County Conservation Corps funding comes from grant sources that the Corps
has received annually for the past 11 years, and confidence is high that these grants will
continue to renew for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, an additional 11 % of funding comes
from fee-for-service contracts.
6. Submit most recent12 years of audited financial statements.
Copies of the OCCC's most recent independent audits for FY 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 are
attached.
C. Subcontracting
Subcontracting client services/activities is not permissible under this contract. However if
planning to subcontract non-client services, identify subcontracts role and estimated cost for
services.
The Orange County Conservation Corps will not subcontract non-client services. All services
will be provided by the Orange County Conservation Corps or by Orange County Conservation
Corps partners as in-kind support.

DRINKING WATERTREATMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OPERATORS
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OPERATORS Number 443
WHAT'STHE CALIFORNIA JOB OUTLOOK?
The following information is from the occupational
projections produced by the Employment
Development Department (EDD) Labor Market
Information Division (LMID) and represents the
broad occupational group Water and Liquid Waste
Treatment Plant and System Operators which
includes Drinking Water Treatment and
Distribution Operators and Wastewater Treatment
Plant Operators:
Water and Liquid Waste Treatment Plant and
System Operators
Estimated number of workers in 2002: 7,600
Estimated number of workers in 2012: 9,200
Projected Growth 2002-2012: 21.1%
Est. openings due to separations by 2012: 2,600
These figures do not include self-employment.
This occupation will grow at faster than average
rate compared to all occupations in California.
There will be an estimated total of 5,100 job
opportunities in this occupation from 2002 through
2012 or an average of 510 jobs a year. Some of
the opportunities will come from growth and the
rest from replacing those who retire or otherwise
permanently leave the field. The industry
association, California Water Environment
Association (CWEA), reports the occupation is
affected by large numbers of retirements creating
a need for new Operators.
The Department of Health Services reports 13,000
currently licensed Drinking Water Treatment and
Distribution Operators and the Stale Water
licensed Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators.
Trends
Federal regulation to ensure clean water for a
growing population will increase employment in
water and wastewater treatment. Water and
wastewater treatment are the only segments of the
utilities industry experiencing employment growth.
In addition to protecting water supplies from
environmental contaminants, water utilities now
employ security procedures to protect water from
deliberate contamination. More opportunities may
result from use of treated wastewater for irrigation
and groundwater recharge.

Education and Training
Entrance requirements vary somewhat, depending
on the employer. Some employers require
applicants to have an associate's or bachelor's
degree in water treatment technology. Other
employers hire applicants who have a high school
education or equivalent. Many employers hire
inexperienced but highly motivated applicants
and train them on-the-job. Some hire only
experienced, certified Operators. In some areas
of the State, the union and government may offer
a joint water treatment operators apprenticeship
program that normally takes four and one-half

1. Policy Statement
In carrying out the purpose of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), the City of Santa
Ana Local Workforce Investment Area (LWIA) will establish programs to prepare

activity shall be reported directly and immediately to the City of Santa Ana and the
Secretary of Labor."
General Procedures for Handling Non-Criminal Violations of the
Act
The following procedure is promulgated to meet the requirements of Title 20, of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Section 667.600 through 667.640 of the WIA regulations, and Section
- -181(c-)-of-the-Act-(Public Law 105..200. 29-U.S: Code-Sec. 2931-et-seq.) atthe-State-and-L-WIA-
EXHIBIT C
level for the receipt, investigation, hearing, and resolution of complaints by WIA participants,
sub recipients, applicants for participation, or financial assistance, labor unions, community
based organizations, or any other persons.
These procedures provide for resolution of non-criminal complaints arising from the operation of
the Santa Ana LWIA.
A complaint is defined here as a written expression by a party alleging a violation of the Act,
regulations promulgated under the Act, recipient grants, sub agreements, or other specific
agreements under the Act, including terms and conditions of employment of such
participants in employment training programs. All complaints, amendments and withdrawals
shall be in writing. These procedures are intended to resolve matters which concern policies,
procedures or action(s) arising in connection with WIA programs operated by each LWIA grant
recipient and sub recipient under the Act.
These procedures shall not be construed as affecting any other available legal remedy outside
of the WIA complaint process (i.e., disputes regarding terms and conditions of employment of
any employee who is not a participant), either separately or simultaneously, that a person may
wish to pursue in the resolution of a non-WIA complaint. Also, these procedures do not restrict
the LWIA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion
Procedures do not restrict the LWIA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion and
resolution of any problems outside of and without resort to the formal complaint procedure.
A. The following principles and rules apply to all complaints at all steps of the complaint
procedures:
All complaints must be made in writing within 180 days of the alleged occurrence,
except complaints alleging fraud or criminal activity.
2. All persons filing a complaint shall be free from restraint, coercion, reprisal, or
discrimination. Good faith efforts shall be made to informally resolve the complaint
prior to the scheduled hearing. Complainants have the right to withdraw their
complaints (in writing) at any time prior to the hearing. A complainant may amend
his/her complaint to correct technical deficiencies but not to add issues.
Complainants shall have the right to be represented at their own expense by
person(s) of their choosing at all levels of the complaint process.
4. Upon enrollment into employment or training, participants shall be provided with a
written description of these procedures, including notification of their right to file
complaints and instructions for filing.
An employer of participants, including private-for-profit employers of participants, may
use this or other complaint resolution procedures so long as the participant is
informed of the complaint resolution procedure they are to follow and the time frames
governing review of complaints are met. -
EXHIBIT C
A "participant", within the meaning of these procedures, is an individual who receives
employment-training services under a program funded by Santa Ana LWIA. The
Complaint Resolution Procedures contained herein (or the alternative procedures
which an employer may use) shall be available to participants to resolve disputes
regarding items and conditions of employment of such participants in employment
training programs. However, such procedures shall not be used to resolve disputes
regarding terms and conditions of employment of any employee who is not a
participant, as defined herein.
5. If a complaint does not receive a decision at the LWIA grant recipient level within 60
days of filing the complaint or receives an unsatisfactory decision, the complainant
then has a right to request a review of the complaint by the Governor.
6. Complainants must initially file and exhaust LWIA grant recipient/hearing procedures
prior to appealing to the State except where the State determines that the LWIA grant
recipient's procedures are not in compliance with the State's procedures.
Procedures for Handling Complaints at the LWIA Level
A. Receipt Complaints
Pursuant to the WIA regulations found at 20 CFR, Section 667.600, the LWIA administrative
entities have the responsibility to conduct hearings and resolve complaints made by
individuals about the administration of programs in the LWIA. "LWIA level" encompasses
LWIA administrative entity and employers to which the administrative entity has delegated
the complaint resolution process. The following comprise the guidelines for resolving issues
arising in connection with WIA programs operated by the Santa Ana LWIA including
resolutions of complaints arising from actions, such as audit disallowances or the imposition
of sanctions taken by the Governor with respect to audit findings, investigations or
monitoring reports.
1. Form and Filing of Compliant
Official filing date of the compliant is the date the written complaint is received. The filing
of the complaint with the Santa Ana LWIA Equal Employment Opportunity Officer shall
be considered as a request for hearing and a decision must be issued within 60 days.
The complaint must be in writing and must be signed and dated. The complaint should
also contain the following information:
a. Full name, telephone number, if any, and mailing address of the complainant;
b. Full name, telephone number, and mailing address of the agency involved (respondent);
c. Clear and concise statement of facts including dates constituting alleged violation;
EXHIBIT C
d. What provisions under the Act, regulations, grant or other agreements under the Act, are
believed to have been violated;
e. Remedy sought by the complainant; and
If the complainant is a private or public entity or corporation, and not a natural person,
the filing of the complaint must be duly authorized by the governing body of such entity
or corporation.
The absence of any of the requested information shall not be a basis for dismissing the
complaint.
A copy of the complaint must be sent to the respondent and both parties notified of the
opportunity for an informal resolution. At each step of the complaint process, the complainant
must be notified in writing of the next procedural step.
2. Informal Conference
Informal conferences will be utilized by the Santa Ana LWIA to resolve complaints;
however, such informal conferences shall not extend the time within which a decision
must be issued after receipt of a complaint. Attempts at informal resolution will
commence with two (2) weeks of the date of filing of the complaint.
a. The EEO Officer will review the case and ascertain facts prior to the conference so that
appropriate resolution can take place at the time of this meeting whenever possible.
b. Although the complainant should be encouraged to attend this conference, his/her failure
to do so should not preclude his/her right to request a hearing on the matter.
c. If mutually satisfactory resolution results and the Santa Ana LWIA concurs, the EEO
Officer will write a brief report for the file stating the issues and resolution. The matter
shall then be considered closed.
d. If resolution does not result, the complainant shall be provided the necessary information
and assistance to request a hearing if he/she so desires.
3. Request for Hearing
a. As in the case of the complaint, the request for a hearing should be put in writing and
be filed in person or by mail. A governing board resolution of authorization to appeal
should also be submitted when appropriate. The request should be filled with:
Anita Queen
Sr. Personnel Analyst - EEO Officer
20 Civic Center Drive, M-24
------ -Santa _Ana, CA-92701-
647-5157
(714)
EXHIBIT C
b. A hearing will be scheduled by the EEO Officer within thirty (30) days of the date of
filing of the complaint.
4. Notice of Hearing
Upon receipt of the request for hearing, the complainant and the respondent will be
notified in writing of the hearing ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the hearing.
The ten-day notice may be shortened with the written consent of the parties. A decision
will be issued by the Santa Ana LWIA within sixty (60) days of the date of filing of the
complaint.
The hearing notice shall be in writing and contain the following information:
a. The date of notice, name of the complainant, and the name of the party against whom
the complaint is filed.
b. The date, time and place of hearing before an impartial hearing officer.
c. A statement(s) of the alleged violation(s)
Advise as to where information or assistance may be obtained, and the name, address,
and telephone number of the Santa Ana LWIA Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO)
Officer who can answer inquiries.
B. Conduct of Hearing
The hearing shall be conducted in an informal manner with strict rules of evidence not
applicable. Unnecessary technicalities should be avoided. It should provide the flexibility to
enable adjustment to the circumstances presented.
The hearing officer shall have complete independence to obtain facts and make
decisions. The hearing officer shall be in a position to render impartial decisions and
thus should not be subordinate to the Santa Ana LWIA or its sub recipients. The hearing
officer will be selected from a list of names on file with the EEO Officer.
2. Full regard must be given to the requirements of due process to insure a fair and
impartial hearing.
3. The hearing office designated by the EEO Officer to function in a quasi-judicial capacity
should begin the hearing by summarizing the record and the issue and should explain
the manner in which the hearing will be conducted, making sure that everyone involved
understands the proceedings. Such explanations should be adapted to the needs of the
specific situation. The hearing officer might take testimony under oath or affirmation to
give some assurance of veracity to the hearing.
10
EXHIBIT C
4. The burden of proof should be reasonable and flexible, dependent upon the
circumstances of the case involved. The hearing officer determines the order of proof.
Generally, the party making the complaint has the obligation of establishing his or her
case and should be examined first.
5. The party involved should have the right to be represented (at their own expense) if
he/she so desires. Other he/she is limited to his/her own abilities and those to the
hearing officer in obtaining testimony in the case.
6. It is important that the hearing officer obtain the fullest information for the record. If the
parties involved, or their representatives, do not know how to ask the right or pertinent
questions in pursuing their right to due process, it shall be necessary for the hearing
officer to step in to have all the materials and relevant facts elicited.
7. The practice in informal hearings is generally not to apply strict rules of evidence in
obtaining facts. However, the quantity of evidence required to support a decision on an
issue should be sufficiently credible that the state (or other appropriate agency), upon
reviewing the decision, would conclude that the decision is supported by substantial
evidence.
8. The hearing officer should attempt to negotiate a resolution of the issue at any time prior
to the conclusion of the hearing.
9. Within ten (10) days of the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer will issue a
recommended decision to the LWIA for final determination. The recommended decision
shall be in writing and may be accepted, rejected or modified by the Santa Ana
Workforce Investment Board.
C. Issuance of Decision
Within sixty (60) calendar days of filing of the complaint, the Santa Ana LWIA shall issue a
written decision to all parties by first class mail. The final decision shall contain the following
information:
1. The name of the parties involved.
2. A statement of the alleged violation and issues related to the alleged violation.
3. A statement of the facts.
4. The decision and the reasons for the decision.
5. A statement of corrective action, if any, to be taken.
6. Notice of the right to request, within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the decision, a
review of the decision by the State Review Panel.
D.-Record-of-Hearing--- -_
si
EXHIBIT C
An administrative file containing support documents on the complaint resolution process
hearing conducted will be retained by the Santa Ana LWIA. The purpose of a record is to
serve as substantiation of the process followed by the Santa Ana LWIA on the resolution of
the issues and the results. This information would then be available for subsequent review
in the event the matter is raised with the State. Such records must be retained for a three-
year period after the grant has been officially closed out.
The Santa Ana LWIA's written decision will be included in the record. Evidence received at
the hearing, notes by the hearing officer, stenographer's notes and tape recordings may
also be used.
E. Establishment of Complaint Procedures
In accordance with Section 667.600, each employing agency including private-for-profit
employers of participants under the Act is required to establish a complaint procedure for
resolving matters relating to the terms and conditions of employment. Employers may
operate their own grievance system or may utilize the Santa Ana LWIA's established
procedures under Section 667.600. At a minimum these procedures must include:
Written notice, upon enrollment into employment training services, of the scope and
availability of such procedures. Employer's grievance procedures shall be set forth in a
written document and must meet the regulation mandate that a complaint will be
resolved with sixty (60) days from the date the complaint was filed. A copy of employer's
grievance procedure shall be provided to each participant upon enrollment in
employment training.
2. Written notice, at the time the grievance is filed, of the procedures under which the
grievance will be processed.
3. Written notification of the disposition of the grievance and a written decision shall be
issued within thirty (30) days of the filing of the grievance unless a present and long
established grievance specifically provides other limits; and
4. Written notification of the participant's right to request a review of the employer's
decision by the Santa Ana LWIA and the State Review Panel in accordance with Section
667.600.
IV. Procedures for Handling Complaints at the State Level

Governor to establish a State Review process of complaints filed at the LWIA grant recipient
level and of complaints initially filed at the State level.
Appeals of decisions issued at the LWIA level including audit disallowances and sanctions shall
be reviewed by the State Review Panel. The State Review Panel shall review the record
established at the LWIA level and shall issue a decision based on the information contained
