MEMO

DATE: November 17, 2014 TO: Elaine Lytle Cc Lisa, Vincent, Maggie Campbell, Angelina Veal FROM: Gary Pelfrey SUBJECT: WIB Meeting Statistical Wrap Up

The following information contains my wrap up regarding the latest WIB meeting in November along with recommendations to discuss in the next Executive Meeting. There is also an attachment of meeting measurements. Summary: We did achieve a quorum but it took a significant amount of time to achieve enough members and used three different people to do this. A lot of the time expended will not be repeated as I was setting up new infrastructure we will now reuse. We also took the opportunity to clean up any problem contact information. Maggie Campbell and Angelina Veal were very responsive and worked hard to support me along with Cyndi Sechler and Lisa Vincent. My sense is this will become more efficient once we use the same methods consistently over a period of time and members become accustomed to the different process. At the same time it has been a good way in getting to know the members better. We are working with volunteers who, for the most part, leave their regular jobs and assignments to participate in WIB business. We will always need a high level of communication to keep attendance where we would like it. Keeping the meeting interesting and positive for members will assist in this greatly. I see having a worthwhile meeting an obligation to both the member who takes the time to show up and participate along with the employer who is kind enough to loan us their employee. Concerns: We had a reasonable amount of people at 5 decline attending the meeting in advance. We then had 4 people not show up after confirming they would. Combined together with members who were completely unresponsive to any method of communication at 2, we had a total of 11 members out of 33 (33%) which is significant placing us at risk in achieving a consistent quorum as we move through 2015, Recommendations to Discuss

Review the current roster and after the next meeting results are in reduce where possible to obtain a larger cushion for a quorum or change out members to those who can participate.

WIB look at purchasing Constant Contact the program I use. It’s reasonable in cost plus there are other good programs out there. The benefit being I can train who you assign on your end with Constant Contact. I imagine it is a tool that has other WIB uses.

Discuss committees in further detail as members are expressing an interest in serving in one.

10

Look at what we would like to accomplish during a meeting tempered with what is required. My sense is one hour is not enough with a couple of speaker/presenters combined with giving members time to interact. I don’t think six hours per year is sufficient to have to have a productive and well received meeting. At least fifteen minutes more is recommended at a minimum per meeting.

Favorable Observations:

Good comments on survey even though some confusion on ratings. Some training during meeting will be needed.

Members very polite when we followed up with them to attend.

Three people volunteered to do the next member presentation.

Two people who didn’t attend sent a message post meeting either apologizing or committing to be at the next meeting.

We have a very good and professional group I’m pleased to part of.

TO: Members of the Workforce Investment Board Executive Committee FROM: Elaine Lytle, WIB/Executive Director DATE: December 3, 2014 SUBJECT: REAPPOINTMENT OF WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD (WIB)

MEMBER RECOMMENDED ACTION

Recommend the reappointment of Denice Seals to a three (3) year term on the WIB. FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact to this action. REASON FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION

Denice’s term expired on October 11, 2014. BACKGROUND Denice represents two required WIB categories; business and economic development. Her reappointment will provide continuity for the Yolo County Workforce Investment Board as the WIB focuses on building a responsive system to meet the workforce and economic development needs of the local area. Experienced dedicated members give stability and historical perspective. WIB membership as created by WIA requires a majority of business representatives as well representatives from economic development. The WIB By-laws state, in part, that subsequent to the initial terms specified, all terms shall be for three (3) years. AGENCY COORDINATION If recommended by the Executive Committee of the Workforce Investment Board, the nomination for reappointment will be submitted to the Workforce Investment Board for ratification and the Yolo County Board of Supervisors for approval.

Yolo County

Workforce Investment Board

and Yolo Youth Opportunity Council Conference/Training Seminar Attendance and Travel Policy

Purpose We encourage Yolo County Workforce Investment Board (WIB)

and/or Yolo Youth Opportunity Council (YYOC) members to attend events that will enhance their knowledge of local and State WIA issues. Everyone can and should take advantage of the workshops and opportunities for networking to further their ability to contribute to the board's effectiveness.

The purpose of these guidelines is to give WIB and YYOC members an opportunity to attend regional, state, and national conferences and training seminars, as funds are available. The WIB chair will encourage and seek volunteers, approve requests, and make recommendations for participants with the concurrence and advice of the WIB Executive Committee.

Goals The purpose and goals of conference or training seminar attendance

include: • Opportunity for private sector members to meet colleagues • Facilitate effective participation in the statewide WIA system • Listen • Translate issues into policies for the WIB • Create and enhance partnerships • External Networking • Internal networking • Politicking • Collaborating

There are two types of activities:

1 - Conferences 2 - Training Usually sponsored by the California Workforce Association (CWA), United States Department of Labor (USDOL), or National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB)

Usually sponsored by California Employment Development Department (EDD), CWA, or the Regional Training Team.

1 July 24, 2013

21

Examples of conferences /trainings seminars that may be approved

♦ California Labor Federation’s Workforce and Economic Development Program Annual Building Workforce Partnerships

♦ CWA Annual Meeting of the Minds in Monterey ♦ CWA Annual Policy & Legislative Conference ♦ CWA Annual Spring Conference ♦ CWA Annual Youth Conference ♦ California Association for Local Economic Development

(CALED) ♦ California Workforce Services Network (CWSN) User Group ♦ Linking Education and Economic Development (LEED) ♦ USDOL – Employment and Training Administrative (ETA)

National Financial and Administrative Forum ♦ Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Regional

Forum ♦ NAWB Forum ♦ Next Economy/Capital Region Prosperity Plan ♦ Next Ed/Education for the next economy ♦ Northern California Rapid Response Roundtable ♦ Regional Workforce Investment Board/Sacramento, Yolo,

Golden Sierra, North Central Counties Consortium

Guidelines Conferences and training seminars should be attended that have a defined

benefit for the Yolo County WIB and/or Yolo Youth Opportunity Council (YYOC) regarding workforce issues. It is expected that community based organizations, economic development, education, labor, partner agencies, and private sector organizations fund their staff's attendance when it is to the agency/organization benefit. There may be occasions when sharing costs will be necessary particularly when agencies/organizations have a duality of purpose in the conference or training seminar. Members who represent agencies/organizations and who have training funds available should use those funds prior to asking for WIB or YYOC sponsorship. To encourage a broad participation, generally a member should be allowed one conference or training seminar per year and attendance at no two of the same conference or training seminar. However, there will be circumstances when the WIB or YYOC will benefit from a member attending consecutive conferences or training seminars.

Members must be listed on the WIB or YYOC Roster issued by the BOS and in good standing at the time of conference or training seminar registration as well as through the conference or training seminar date. Good standing is

2 July 24, 2013

22

defined as unexpired term and without three consecutive absences from the regular meetings preceding the conference or training seminar.

Each attendee or group of attendees will be encouraged to provide a written and/or an oral report with recommendations at the next WIB and/or YYOC meeting following the conference or training seminar.

Out of State travel to conferences or training seminars will generally be reserved for the Chair, Vice-Chair, or others as deemed appropriate by the Chair and WIB Executive Committee.

The Yolo County Department of Employment and Social Services (DESS) operating as the administrator of the Yolo County One-Stops as well as the provider of WIA Programs (Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth) will review and approve conference and training request submitted by staff.

3 July 24, 2013

Process for Handling WIB Member Travel Requests

Procedure for Conference Approval

A. WIB and YYOC members considering attending a conference or training seminar on behalf of the Workforce Investment Board must submit a written request to WIB staff at least 14 days prior to the next WIB Executive Committee meeting.

B. WIB and YYOC members are encouraged to submit requests well in advance of the actual event. Some conferences or training seminars require a lead time of at least 90 - 120 days for the most cost effective registration timing. Discounts are often offered for earliest registration.

C. WIB staff will contact the DESS Fiscal Unit to make a determination of availability of budgeted funds as well as verify membership in good standing prior to the WIB Executive Committee.

D. The request along with information regarding availability of funds and membership will be submitted to the WIB Executive Committee for consideration.

E. If WIB Executive Committee recommends the request be granted, DESS will finalize travel arrangements as the fiscal agent for WIA funds, based upon the funds available.

F. The conference attendee may obtain and submit a Travel/Training Request Form from WIB/DESS staff for assistance in arranging the most efficient travel date and to confirm airline and hotel reservations.

G. If the event is within driving distance; the Fiscal Agent will pay only the Conference registration for the duration of the event.

H. When the conference or training seminar is not within driving distance, generally participants will stay at the conference hotel. Arrangements will be made by WIB/DESS staff according to County administrative requirements regarding air travel, car rental, meals, lodging, etc. with the approval of the Assistant Director or Director of DESS.

I. DESS staff will, as appropriate, provide E-Ticket arrangements and reservation confirmation numbers.

J. Following the event, the participant will submit a completed Travel Claim form, along with receipts and mileage records to the Fiscal Division of DESS for reimbursement of costs incurred. Any questions can be directed to WIB/DESS staff.

Expiration Date: 2 yrs 1 mo 69:01:df:17218 TO: WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY SUBJECT: FUNDING LIMITS AND REPORTING FOR WIOA TRANSITIONAL

ACTIVITIES This Information Notice provides guidance to the workforce development community regarding the funding limits and reporting of Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Program Year (PY) 2014 funds for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) transitional activities. Section 503(g) (2) of WIOA, states that two percent of each of the PY 2014 WIA formula allotments for Youth, Adult, and Dislocated Worker funding streams, is available to states for transition activities related to WIOA, and of that amount, no less than 50 percent shall be provided to Local Workforce Investment Areas (local areas) for their transitional activities. On October 28, 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration released Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 12-14, which provides guidance to states and other recipients of funds under Title I of WIA on the use and reporting of PY 2014 funds for the planning and implementation activities associated with the transition to WIOA. It also describes the methodology for calculating transitional funding limits to the states. The amounts available based on the methodology described in TEGL 12-14 for California and the total amounts available to the local areas are provided in the chart below.

California PY 2014

Allotment Levels Total Transition Amounts up to 2% of Allotments

At least 50% of Total Transition Amounts to Local Areas

Adult $114, 093,268 $2,281,865.36 $1,140,932.68

Youth $157,301,135 $3,146,022.70 $1,573,011.35

Dislocated Worker $119,122,833 $2,382,456.66 $1,191,228.33 Calculation of WIA Funding Limits for Transitional Activities to Local Areas The State has calculated a maximum total of funds available by program for each local area. The funding limits for each local area were calculated by using their relative share of the total allotment for each program. For example, if a local area received 1.8

39

http://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/attach/TEGL/TEGL-12-14_Acc.pdf

of 4

percent ($1,873,982) of the total WIA Adult formula allocation ($104,110,108), then they were allotted 1.8 percent ($20,537) of the total local area transition funding allotment ($1,140,933) for WIA Adult formula. The amounts available for each local area by program are shown on the Attachment. Financial Reporting Transition funding will not be subject to WIA or WIOA’s administrative cost limitations and local areas may blend WIA Youth, Adult, and Dislocated Worker formula funds that are used for transition purposes. However, for tracking purposes, the funds must be reported to the State under the program where expenditures were incurred. For example, a local area may choose to exhaust their Youth allotment for transition activities first before using their Adult and Dislocated Worker portions. In this case the costs associated with transition activities that were paid for with Youth funds should be reported and tracked under Youth until the limit is reached. Costs related to transition activities will be reported under Section VII, Miscellaneous Items, line 2 - State Mandated Match, of the WIA Summary of Expenditures Report in CalJOBSSM. The State Mandated Match line-item on the WIA Summary of Expenditures Report will be used as a temporary method for tracking costs related to transition activities. These costs should be traceable through the local area’s accounting system. We suggest that local areas use a unique identifier for these expenses for tracking and reporting purposes.

Any costs incurred for transitional activities must be reasonable, allowable, and allocable to WIOA authorized program activities and supported through sufficient documentation for monitoring and auditing purposes. All funds must be used for a WIOA authorized purpose. Funds may not be spent on activities prohibited under WIA or WIOA, such as purchase of real property.

For additional information and guidance regarding WIOA transition activities, allowable and prohibited use of WIA transition funds, as well as high priority activities refer to TEGL 12-14 or consult with your Regional Advisor regarding specific questions about allowable transition costs. If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact Viviana Neet at [email protected] or 916-653-9150. JOSÉ LUIS MÁRQUEZ, Chief Central Office Workforce Services Division Attachment
