It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors, as local elected officials, and as authorized in Section 107 (c)(1)(A) of the federal PL 113-128 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014, approve submittal of the required "Local Area Subsequent Designation and Local Board Recertification Application for Program Year 2021-23" to the State of California, and authorize the Board Chairperson to sign this Application.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The federal WIOA requires local elected officials to appoint a business-led Workforce Development Board for the local Governor-designated service area. A State-imposed deadline is in place for Solano County to submit a signed Local Area Subsequent Designation and Local Board Recertification Application for Program Year (PY) 2021-23 by June 30, 2021. Once approved, the WDB will be certified for two years (through June 2023).
Attachment A provides a full copy of the "Local Area Subsequent Designation and Local Board Recertification Application for Program Year 2021-23" form to be submitted to the State by June 30, 2021.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This action has no direct fiscal impact upon the County. The federal WIOA formula grant funds will continue to be allocated to the County of Solano as long as a membership-compliant WDB is appointed, and such a Board remains compliant across the life of the WIOA grant awards.
