Increase estimated revenue by $263,603 in account number 453-5055 ($360,000 was estimated in the 2000-01 budget) and appropriate in expenditure account 7446 per Exhibit A. Authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute any contract agreements, extensions, or change orders arising out of this program, subject to City Attorney approval. BACKGROUND In July 1998, the City of Santa Clarita entered into a formal partnership with the Antelope Valley Workforce Development Consortium to receive a Job Training Partnership Act Grant from the County of Los Angeles. The funding was used to establish a One -Stop Career Center in Santa Clarita. The One - Stop Career Center is co -located with the Santa Clarita Employment Development Department Branch and has assisted residents in finding employment. The One -Stop Career Center is currently staffed by one coordinator and two case managers. In 1998, the City won a competitive grant from the County of Los Angeles for federal employment and training funding. The grant has been extended for additional years, with the County of Los Angeles and Antelope Valley Workforce Development Consortium determining new allocation amounts. The City of Santa Clarita received $360,309 for a second year of grant funding for a Job Training Partnership Act Program (One -Stop Career Center). Staff continued to work with a local community collaborative to provide job training and employment services. New federal legislation has been enacted to replace the Job Training Partnership Act. The new program, the Workforce Investment Act, was implemented in the County of Los Nfinued To: Av*wow�t 050-ndp, Item: Angeles in July 2000. An additional $263,603, for a total grant award of $623,603, has been awarded to the City of Santa Clarita to implement the Workforce Investment Act. The funding amount was determined by the granting agency to expand services provided and to provide services to anyone interested, eliminating eligibility criteria. The increase in funding is to expand services provided at One -Stop Career Centers. Under the old program, core services (self-directed job search) were provided only for eligible clients. With the implementation of the Workforce Investment Act, core services will be expanded and made available to anyone, but must be tracked and staff assistance must be available. The new service necessitates additional staff to ensure client's needs are met. This staff will be temporary staff, hired through a temporary employment agency, and therefore has been budgeted in Professional Services. An increase in Contractual Services reflects additional space to be occupied by the new staff. The funding increase will enable the Santa Clarita One -Stop Career Center to expand services and assist more people. ALT—ERNATIVE ACTION Decline acceptance of funds Other direction as determined by City Council. FISCAL IMPAC The total cost of this program is estimated to be $623,603, to be offset completely by grant revenue. There is no City match required.
