TO:

Honorable Board of Supervisors

FROM:

Maureen Borland, Director, Human Services Agency
Glen H. Brooks, Jr., Director, Central Region

SUBJECT:

A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE WORKFIRST AND ONE-STOP CAREER CENTER SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH OPPORTUNITIES INDUSTRIALIZATION CENTER WEST (OICW) FOR THE PROVISION OF REALLOCATION OF FUNDS FOR PROGRAM YEAR (PY) 01-02.

Recommendation

Adopt a resolution authorizing a second amendment to the Agreement with Opportunities

Industrialization Center West (OICW), to reallocate funds in the amount of $131,012 for

PY 01-02. This amendment reduces the funding from the One - Stop Career Center

Services in Menlo Park for Program Year 2001/2002 to support the expansion of the

PeninsulaWorks One-Stop system.

 

Background

On July 25, 2000 the Board approved an agreement with OICW to closeout activities of

the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA), and to provide Workfirst and One-Stop Career

Center services during the period of July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2002, for a total

amount of $1,415,612.

 

On November 28, 2000 the Board approved an Amendment to the Agreement to add September 30, 2002. An additional amount of $480,160, was added for a total contract

Comprehensive Year-Round Youth Services and extended the term of the Agreement to

September 30, 2002. An additional amount of $480,160, was added for a total contract

obligation of $1,895,772.

 

Discussion

July 19, 2001, the Workforce Investment Board (WIB) approved the certifications of the

PeninsulaWorks One-Stop Centers in Daly City, San Carlos and Menlo Park. The

PeninsulaWorks Redwood City was certified as a satellite One-Stop Center.

The Redwood City satellite office serves a distinct population who would benefit from

the services of a full service One-Stop Center. Therefore, the WIB would like to

designate PeninsulaWorks Redwood City as a full-service One-Stop Center, and has

directed the WIB staff, the Human Services Agency, to reallocate resources to support

expanding services to Redwood City.

 

Fiscal Impact

The amendment will reduce the funding for PeninsulaWorks One-Stop Center in Menlo

Park by $131,012 for Program Year 2001/2002. These funds are comprised entirely of

Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funds and will thus have no impact on the general

funds.

 

County Counsel has reviewed and approved the proposed amendment as to form.
