served by WDB. A core component of these services is the availability of occupational training. This allows the
Workforce Development Board, its One-Stop Career Centers and its youth providers to continue regular WIA training
services and to expand training services to eligible dislocated workers.
This Board Order authorizes the Director of the Employment and Human Services Department to increase the
contract payment limit to OPIC by $75,000 from $610,000 to a new payment limit of $685,000. The Workforce
Development Board budget modifications breakdown as follows: WIA Adult 237,500; WIA Dislocated Worker
237,500; WIA Youth 30,000; and National Emergency Grant On the Job Training (OJT) funds 180,000.
This Board Order is requesting Board approval to include a Mutual Indemnification clause in the contract with
Oakland Private Industry Council. (#18-020-25)
