INTRODUCTION The Santa Ana Workforce Development Board's goal is to create an integrated location and a unified structure and process of proactive, transparent, and effective job seeker and business services, orchestrated by a seamless collaboration of talent development and support agencies. The purpose of this MOU is to define the parameters within which education, workforce, economic development, and other Partner programs and entities operating within the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Ana create a seamless, customer -focused America's Job Center of California (AJCC) network that aligns service delivery across the board and enhances access to program services. By realizing AJCC opportunities together, partners are able to build community - benefiting bridges, rather than silos of programmatic isolation. These partnerships will increase customer access and performance outcomes. LOCAL/REGIONAL VISION STATEMENT, MISSION STATEMENT, AND GOALS Santa Ana's vision rests on integrating current and future resources through its WDB partners. Integration suggests more than partnering or assembling multiple funding sources. It means making certain that all elements of the workforce support system work together to create synergy for its target populations by offering inviting and seamless services, wherever a client enters the system. Santa Ana's vision also embraces the future, as all visions should. It spawns new industries and clusters and changes old ones. It generates fresh workforce opportunities in the process. The Santa Ana WDB's strategic plan rests not only on strengths of its current industrial base, but also the demands of emerging business and economic trends. Finally, Santa Ana's vision is sensitive to the needs of its unique demographics and regional mix. As a major supplier of workforce for surrounding communities, Santa Ana is firmly embedded in its regional and cluster matrix. Santa Ana's implementation of the vision entails enhancing business and 4 supports social and educational services and access to them, mostly though not exclusively through its AJCC and WDB. An effective efficient administration is necessary to deliver the services that make each of these strategies effective. The Santa Ana WDB's overall strategies: Identify regional clusters most likely to create new jobs in which Santa Ana's workforce can participate and the foundational requirements of such jobs; 2. Expand small business development support as a creator of new jobs and method for growing the local tax base; 3. Educate Santa Ana's current and future workforce through classroom pre -training and training activities, plus on-the-job training and workforce skill enhancement activities; 4. Offer career pathway programs for both unemployed and employed adults and youth; 5. Increase access to jobs for disconnected and underserved populations, especially youth; 6. Organize, integrate and support social and other services through the WDB's network of partnerships, volunteer organizations, and established institutional resources; and 7. Assure funding from all public, private, and other sources in support of its programs. SYSTEM STRUCTURE AMERICA'S JOB CENTERS OF CALIFORNIA The Santa Ana Workforce Board has one comprehensive AJCC in the City of Santa Ana which is designed to provide a full range of assistance to job seekers and businesses under one roof. Established under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and continued by the WIOA, the AJCC offers a comprehensive array of services designed to match talent with opportunities.

ADCC OPERATING BUDGET The purpose of this section is to establish a financial plan, including terms and conditions, to fund the services and operating costs of the local AJCC. The Parties to this MOU agree that joint funding is a necessary foundation for an integrated service delivery system. The goal of the operating budget is to develop a funding mechanism that: • Establishes and maintains the Local workforce delivery system at a level that meets the needs of the job seekers and businesses in the Local area; • Reduces duplication and maximizes program impact through the sharing of services, resources, and technologies among Partners (thereby improving each program's effectiveness); • Reduces overhead costs for any one partner by streamlining and sharing financial, procurement, and facility costs; and • Ensures that costs are appropriately shared by AJCC Partners by determining contributions based on the proportionate use of the AJCC centers and relative benefits received, and requiring that all funds are spent solely for allowable purposes in a manner consistent with the applicable authorizing statutes and all other applicable legal requirements, including the Uniform Guidance. The Partners consider this AJCC operating budget the master budget that is necessary to maintain the Local Board's high -standard AJCC. It includes the following cost categories, as required by WIOA and its implementing regulations: • Infrastructure costs (also separately outlined in the Infrastructure Funding Agreement (IFA)); • Career services; and • Shared services. All costs must be included in the MOU, allocated according to Partners' proportionate use and relative benefits received, and reconciled on a quarterly basis 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. 11 COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY Cost allocation is the process of assigning to two or more programs the costs of an item shared by the programs. The goal is to ensure that each program bears its fair share, and only its fair share, of the total cost of the item. A cost allocation plan is a written account of the methods used to allocate costs to the programs occupying the AJCC's. The requirement to allocate the costs of shared resources can be met by using logical and rational methods to ensure that each program is paying only its fair share of the cost of an item used in common, and that no program is subsidizing another. Generally, the methods used to allocate a shared cost should be the simplest, most straightforward way of allocating this type of cost fairly. Complex, highly detailed methods should be avoided when a simple one will achieve the objective. Methods, rules or formulas that use percentages or fractions of cost items are acceptable. Accordingly, shared costs will be based upon the square footage occupied in the AJCC. COMPREHENSIVE AJCC Santa Ana W/O/R/IC CENTER 1000 E. Santa Ana Blvd., Suite 200 & Suite 220 Santa Ana, CA 92701 AJCC Partners Co -located at the AJCC: Location of all partners is detailed in AJCC Partner's Location (Attachment 1). 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 other component of the AJCC operating budget consists of applicable career services, shared operating costs, and shared services, which are considered additional costs. While each of these components covers different cost categories, an operating budget would be incomplete if any of these cost categories were omitted, as all components are necessary to maintain a fully functioning and successful local AJCC delivery system. Therefore, the Local Boards, and AJCC partners negotiate the IFA, along with additional costs when developing the operating budget for the local AJCC system. The overall AJCC operating budget is included in this MOU Phase 1I (Attachment 3). IFAs are a mandatory component of the local MOU, described in WIOA sec. 121(c) and 20 CFR 678.500 and 678.755. Similar to MOUS, the Local Board may negotiate an umbrella IFA or individual IFAS for one or more of its AJCC. AJCC infrastructure costs are defined as non -personnel costs that are necessary for the general operation of the American Job Center, including, but not limited to: • Rental of the facilities; • Utilities and maintenance; • Equipment, including assessment -related products and assistive technology for individuals with disabilities; and • Technology to facilitate access to the American Job Center, including technology used for the center's planning and outreach activities. 12 Changes in the AJCC Partners or an appeal by an AJCC partner's infrastructure cost contributions will require a renewal of the MOU. [TEGL 17-16, RSA TAC 17-03, and OCTAE Program Memo 17-3, Infrastructure Funding of the One -Stop Delivery System (pp. 17-18 and Attachment II)] FUNDING TYPES Cash Cash funds provided to the Local Board or its designee by AJCC Partners, either directly or by an interagency transfer, or by a third party. 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. Third -party In-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] Other AJCC Delivery System Costs The budget must include "applicable career services" as well as any other shared costs agreed upon by the AJCC partners (Attachment 3-1). The other system costs budget must be a consolidated budget that includes a line item for applicable career services. The signed Phase I MOU required identification of the career services that were applicable to each partner program. Accordingly, 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. Following is a Summary of career services applicable to each AJCC Delivery System Partner (Santa Ana AJCC Partner Service Matrix (Attachment 2)) CAREER SERVICES Career services include self-help service services requiring minimal staff assistance and services requiring more staff involvement generally provided to individuals unable to find employment through basic career services, and deemed to be in need of more concentrated services to obtain employment; or who are employed but deemed to be in need of more concentrated services like training to obtain or retain employment that allows for self-sufficiency. 1.

Common Identifier Costs COSTS FOR SANTA !$210,804 *RK,,CENTER 10 Proportionate Share infrastructure Costs Allocated to.Each eI­ e, CPartner The cost allocation methodology will be based upon a partner program's occupancy percentage of the AJCC (square footage). This method will ensure a fair and equitable distribution of cost. The initial proportionate share of infrastructure costs allocated to each partner based on the above methodology, each partner's estimated total contribution amount, and whether it will be provided through cash, non-cash (in-kind), and/or third -party in-kind contributions. This initial determination will be periodically reconciled against actual costs incurred and adjusted accordingly due to ADA improvements, new occupancy and/or execution of new lease. AJCC partners may provide cash or non-cash contributions to cover their proportionate share of infrastructure costs. If non-cash or in-kind contributions are used, they cannot include non - infrastructure costs (such as personnel), and they must be valued consistent with Uniform Guidance Section 200.306 to ensure they are fairly evaluated and meet the partner's proportionate share. Allocation of Propo rtionate Share of , InfrastructureI I Costs for Co -located Partners Co -located Partner Application of Allocated Amount: Amount: SER Methodology Initial Share Cash In -Kind Shared Infrastructure 2.53% $8,241.34 $8,241.34 Cost Attachment 3-1 APPLICABLE CAREER SERVICES Sharing Other One -Stop Delivery System Costs The budget must include "applicable career services" as well as any other shared costs agreed upon by the AJCC partners. While only co -located partners share infrastructure costs, all One - Stop partners must share in other system costs, including applicable career services. All partners that signed the Phase I MOU must also sign the Phase II MOU for the sharing of other system costs. Required Consolidated System Budget for "Applicable Career Services" Summary of Career Services Applicable to Each AJCC Partner (Phase I MOU) The agreed upon budget for other system costs aligns with the Phase I MOU agreement that outlined shared customers and services. The other system costs budget is a consolidated budget that includes applicable career services. The signed Phase I MOU required identification of the career services that were applicable to each partner program. Accordingly, this budget includes 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. Unlike infrastructure cost sharing, other system costs, including "Applicable Career Services" are not limited to the non -personnel costs and should include all costs related to the administration and delivery of those services.
