Contract No. K178658-05 allocates $877,073 to El Dorado County for continued provision of Workforce Investment Act Program activities. Allocated revenues are budgeted for FY 2010-11 and are expected to cover all anticipated Program costs.
Background:
On September 7, 2005, the Golden Sierra Governing Board approved the establishment of El Dorado County as the first Consortium Operator under the Local Workforce Investment Act Program, effective July 1, 2006. On November 8, 2005, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 339-2005 authorizing an Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for Golden Sierra Job Training Agency(GSJTA), including a provision giving the JPA the ability to pass El Dorado County’s share of funds to the County to enable the County to provide job training services. The Golden Sierra Workforce Investment Board and their Governing Board approved the El Dorado/Alpine County Local Operator Business Plan on April 24, 2006 and April 26, 2006 respectively. On June 20, 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved establishment of a budget and approved Human Services staffing for implementation of Workforce Investment Act Program activities effective July 1, 2006, and job training activities have been ongoing since that time.

Upon execution, the contract is retroactive to July 1, 2010. It was received from GSJTA on August 24, 2010, and processing was expedited.
