All parties will meet and confer regarding replacement, acquisition, cleaning and maintenance of furnishings.

All costs contemplated must be included in the MOU, allocated according to the AJCC Partner's proportionate use and relative benefits received, reconciled every six (6) months against actual costs incurred, and adjusted accordingly.The AJCC operating budget is expected to be transparent and negotiated among Partners on an equitable basis to ensure costs are shared appropriately. All Partners must negotiate in good faith and seek to establish outcomes that are reasonable and fair. All Partners must adhere and reference the rules and regulations included in the executed Office Lease, attached hereto as Attachment 5 and incorporated herein by reference. 12)INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING AGREEMENT The Infrastructure Funding Agreement ("IFA") contains the infrastructure costs budget that is an integral component of the overall AJCC operating budget. The IFA is a mandatory component of the local MOU, described in WIOA sec. 121(c) and 20 CFR 678.500 and 678,755. The IFA contains the AJCC Comprehensive Infrastructure Budget, and Other System Cost Budget, included herein as Attachment 3 and incorporated herein by reference, that is an integral component of the overall AJCC operating budget.The other component of the IFA is the Applicable Career Services, attached herein as Attachment 3-1 and incorporated herein by reference,which includes the shared operating costs and shared services.

The AJCC Partner agrees that it will be charged on a monthly basis according to the following cost sharing methodology,and that monthly payment will be submitted within the first ten(10)calendar days of each month. 14)INFRASTRUCTURE COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY a. Rent Costs: Rent costs shall be based only on the base rent and common area maintenance (CAM charges). The base rent is derived from the total assigned square footage, calculating the percentage of usage by AJCC Partner and applying that percentage to the common area square footage. Assigned square footage plus the percentage of common area square footage equals total square footage for each AJCC Partner. Total square footage for each AJCC Partner multiplied by the base rent per square foot equals total base rent for each AJCC Partner as indicated in the AJCC Comprehensive Infrastructure Budget, and Other System Cost Budget and the Comprehensive Cost Allocation and Partner Contributions. The base rent has an annual increase of no more than 3% over the ten-year life of the Office Lease document (Attachment 5 attached herewith and incorporated herein by reference). b. Utilities. Maintenance and Services; This section includes telephone services, which includes voice-mail on AJCC Partners' phones. Costs for staff phones are charged based on the AJCC Partner's assigned space. Common area phones will be charged according to space allocation. Security guard services are also included in this section and are allocated based on the percentage of space usage. Security guard services will increase by approximately 4.5% annually. L. Equipment: Public computer are shared and available to all clients. These are allocated on the AJCC partner's assigned space percentage. d. Technol &and Internet Access Costs; Cost of printers and copiers for common use that are connected to the internet, and other technology that may become necessary for shared use are allocated based on the AJCC partners percentage of space usage. 15)INFRASTRUCTURE CONTRIBUTIONS The AJCC Partner may provide cash, non-cash(in- kind), and third-party in-kind contributions to cover its share of infrastructure costs. In-kind contributions cannot be used to fiend non- infrastructure costs (such as personnel), and must be valued consistent with Uniform Guidance Section 200.306 to ensure such contributions are fairly evaluated and qualify for the AJCC Partner's proportionate share. If third-party in-kind contributions are made to support the AJCC as a whole (such as facility space), that contribution will not count toward the AJCC Partner's proportionate share of the I infrastructure. Rather, the value of the contribution will be applied to the overall infrastructure budget prior to determining proportionate amounts and thereby reduce the contribution required for all AJCC Partners. a. Cash Cash funds provided to the SAWDB, or its designee, by AJCC Partners, either directly or by an interagency transfer, or by a third party. h. Non-Cash Expenditures incurred by AJCC Partners on behalf of the AJCC; and Non-cash contributions or goods or services contributed by a Partner program and used by the AJCC. c. Third partyln-kind Contributions of space, equipment, technology, non-personnel services, or other like items to support the infrastructure costs associated with AJCC operations, by a non-AJCC Partner to: Support the AJCC in general; or, Support the proportionate share of AJCC infrastructure costs of a specific Partner[20 CFR 678.720; 20 CFR 678.760; 34 CFR 361.720;34 CFR 361.760; 34 CFR 463.720; and 34 CFR 463.760]. 16)OTHER AJCC DELIVERY SYSTEM COSTS In compliance with WIOA Joint Rule Section 678.760, the AJCC Partners will use a portion of funds made available under their authorizing federal statute (or fairly evaluated in-kind contributions) to share the additional costs relating to the operation of the One-Stop delivery system.

As required by WSD1 8-12, the amount of fiends that the AJCC Partner has budgeted to expend on applicable career services and other shared services, which cumulatively with the other AJCC Partners budgeted amounts shall form the Comprehensive Cost Allocation and Partner Contributions. a. Career Services Applicable to the AJCC Partner The AJCC Partner shall provide applicable career services to clients as set forth in the Santa Ana AJCC Partner Services. The agreed upon Applicable Career Services Budget is set forth in Attachment 3-1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. This budget consists of the AJCC Partner's costs for the service delivery of each applicable career service indicated in the Santa Ana AJCC Partner Services. b. Required Consolidated Budget for the Delivery of"Applicable Career Services" The other system costs budget must be a consolidated budget for applicable career services. This budget must include each of the Partner's costs for the service delivery of each applicable career service and a consolidated system budget for career services applicable to more than one Partner as indicated in the Comprehensive Cost Allocation and Partner Contributions.
