DISCUSSION
The federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law on July 22,
2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and
support services to succeed in the labor market and match employers with the skilled workers
needed to compete in the global economy. WIOA supersedes the Workforce Investment Act of
1998 and the first legislative reform of the public workforce system in 15 years. The Act went into
effect on July 1, 2015 with the Department of Labor responsible for its implementation.
California is a direct recipient of WIOA funding and contracts with designated Local Workforce
Development Areas (LWDA) to address workforce needs of employers and the community.
The California Workforce Investment Board recommended approval that the City of Santa Ana be
designated as a local workforce development area under WIOA. The Governor and Secretary of
the Labor and Workforce Development Agency concurred with the recommendation. The

designation is from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2017, it will be reviewed and evaluated every two
years against federal performance and compliance outcomes.
On August 18, 2015 City Council authorized the execution of a new sub -grant agreement with the
Workforce Services Division of the State Employment Development Department (EDD) and
approved an appropriation adjustment to recognize the $13,554 additional Youth funds that were
not anticipated at the time of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 -16 budget adoption.
On March 1, 2016 City Council authorized the recognition of $104,529 in additional program
funds allocated by EDD through unilateral sub -grant modifications to the agreement. EDD has
released information notifying LWDAs that the U.S. Department of Labor has overturned the
0.2108 percent recession that was applied to the second round funding allotments. Therefore,
Santa Ana has been awarded additional grant funds for Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Rapid
Response as shown on the table below:
The WIOA regulations allow each LWDA to use ten percent of Adult, Dislocated Worker, and
Youth funds for administrative costs. Ten percent of the additional Adult and Dislocated Worker
funds are $343. The remaining Adult and Dislocated Worker funds will be utilized to provide
career and training services to participants in the community that need assistance. Rapid
Response funds generally have only a one year grant period. Therefore, the additional $596
must be expended before the end of the current fiscal year to respond to layoffs and dislocations,
and preventing or minimizing their impacts on workers and businesses.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of these items assists the City in meeting Goal #2 (Youth, Education, Recreation),
Objective #4 (Partner with groups and organization to promote education, senior services, job
training and development for all Santa Ana residents).
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the appropriation adjustment will recognize $4,030 in revenue account (no.
12318002- 52001) and appropriate $4,030 for expenditure as follows:
