RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing additional revenues from the California
Workforce Investment Board in the amount of $5,000 for Workforce Investment Act activities.
DISCUSSION
The California Workforce Investment Board (CWIB) is responsible for assisting the Governor in all
the functions outlined in the Workforce Investment Act. In 2008, the CWIB asked One-Stop
Employment Centers in California to pilot a new service model designed to employ job seekers
and increase their chances of retaining those jobs. The WORK Center was one of 12 One-Stop
employment centers across the State of California to adopt the new model.
On February 7, 2011, Cal State Northridge (CSUN) staff on behalf of the CWIB conducted an
onsite study of Santa Ana WORK Center services. Specifically, the CWIB measured the impact of
the WORK Center service model in order to compare it to others statewide. City staff assisted in
the gathering of data on the service model impact including volume and type of services delivered,
customer satisfaction, activity based cost accounting and federal outcomes. The CWIB will
reimburse the WORK Center for the staff time needed to prepare and collect the needed data.
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon approval of the appropriation adjustment, funds will be available in the One Stop Program
account (no. 12318751).
