BACKGROUND
In July 1998, the City of Santa Clarita entered into a subcontract with the Antelope Valley
Workforce Development Consortium to receive the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) grant for
Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs from the Los Angeles County Department of Community
and Senior Services. Since then, the City has been receiving annual WIA funding for the
operation of the Santa Clarita WorkSource Center.
The Santa Clarita WorkSource Center offers year-round services for job seekers, including
computer access, the ability to research and pursue job leads, and workshops to improve job
search skills and marketability. The funding also allows the Center to offer business services,
such as providing space and coordination for employee recruitments and interviews,
pre-screening, and workshops for the Santa Clarita Enterprise Zone program. The Center has
provided individualized recruitment services in the past for Valley Produce Market, Pacific Lock,

and Westfield Valencia Town Center's "Shops at the Patios," among other new and existing
businesses in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Total funding for this year's WIA Program is $358,264. This represents a decrease from last
year's program funding level of $462,057. The decrease is due in part because last year the City
received additional funding for this program from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA). That additional funding is no longer available and therefore the City will only receive
the base allocation from Los Angeles County this year.
In accepting this funding, the City agrees to provide Core A WIA Services including access to
the Computer Resource Center, referrals to EDD, and workshops as well as Core B WIA
Services including staff assisted job development, job placement, enrollment, and follow-up for
one year from the exiting program.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Decline acceptance of funds.
2. Other direction as determined by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of this program is estimated at $35.8,264, to be offset completely by grant revenue.
There is no City match required.
