APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment&Human Services Department Director, or designee, on
behalf of the Workforce Development Board, to ACCEPT the Title I Workforce Investment Act youth
allocation subgrant(#29-165-0) from the State of California Employment Development Department with a
funding limit of$1,481,721 for youth programs for the period April 1, 2004 through June 30, 2006.
FINANCIAL IMPACT!
$1,481,721: 100% funded by the Federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998. No County Cost.
RACK RDIINII!
The U.S. Department of Labor issued Workforce Investment Act(WIA) grant funding by formula to States for
distribution to local Workforce Investment Boards to fund employment and employment-related services,
including specific allocation for youth employment and occupational skills training. On March 7,2000, the
Board of Supervisors(Item 0.157) authorized the County Five-Year WIA Plan for submission to the Governor
in order to apply for the formula WIA fiends. The State of California Employment Development Department
recently provided notice to the Contra Costa County Workforce Development Board(WDB) of the availability
of up to $1, 481,721 in youth formula allocation funds under the Title I WIA subgrant for Program Year(PY)
2004/05. The Title I WIA subgrant also has an adult and dislocated worker formula allocation but that portion of
the subgrant has been delayed pending approval of the State's FY 2004-05 budget.
The County, through the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), serves as the fiduciary agent
for these funds. This action will enable EHSD to execute the subgrant agreement on behalf of the WDB in order
to receive the grant funds. The funds received through this subgrant will be used to provide a wide range of
educational, employment, occupational training and other supportive services to eligible youth in Contra Costa
County, excluding the City of Richmond, which receives its funding directly from the State.
