Background
Golden Sierra Job Training Agency (GSJTA) is the Local Workforce Investment Area (LWIA) administrative entity designated by the State of California to administer federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) services in Placer, El Dorado, and Alpine counties. GSJTA receives WIA funding from the California Employment Development Department and then allocates funding for each county within the LWIA. As an Area Partner Operator of the Golden Sierra Job Training Agency Consortium, the County of El Dorado uses the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funds to provide job training services, leverage additional federal and state funding, and help strengthen the One Stop system thereby ensuring the ability to meet the multiple needs of the County's unemployed individuals and businesses.
On July 23, 2013, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Chair to sign Contract K491016-01 with Golden Sierra Job Training Agency in the initial amount of $327,163 for the provision of Workforce Investment Act Program services during the term of July 1, 2013 through May 31, 2015 and also authorized the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee, to execute subsequent amendments increasing the total contract amount up to $926,198. On December 16, 2013, as authorized by the Board of Supervisors, the Chief Administrative Officer executed Modification 1 to Contract K491016-01 increasing the total contract amount by $315,478, from $327,163 to $642,641 with no change to the term.
Reason for Recommendation
Modification 2 to Contract K491016-01 increases funding for Adult services by $156,719, Dislocated Worker services by $174,325, and Youth services by $32,269 for a total contract increase of $363,313. The increase in funding includes the remainder of round 2 funding and the release of funds held by Golden Sierra in anticipation of federal sequestration reductions, which were less than expected. The Modification also extends the term end date for Youth services funding from May 31, 2014 to December 31, 2014. The total term of the contract remains unchanged and is July 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015.
Clerk of the Board Follow up Actions
Provide Health and Human Services at Briw Road, with two (2) copies of Modification 2 to Contract No. K491016-01 signed by the Chair.
