Action Agenda

5. Discussion/Action to approve contract extension of the Imperial Valley Regional Occupational

(IVROP) Program Project Connect for PY2019‐2020

Priscilla Lopez, Imperial County Workforce and Economic Development Director, introduced the item

and discussed the contract renewal of the WIOA Youth Program with IVROP. The proposed contract

amount totaled $1,501,363 for PY2019‐2020, which is an increase of approximately $79,000 compared

to PY2018‐2019 funding. IVROP Project Connect is proposing to continue to offer services to 265 eligible

youth between the ages of 14‐24 and all the proposed services and activities are aligned with the 14

youth program elements as mandated in WIOA Section 129(c)(2). IVROP provided additional details

regarding the program in the background of the agenda.

Ms. Lopez also discussed that a waiver has been submitted regarding the minimum requirement of

serving out‐of‐school youth, 75%. If the waiver is approved, it would allow 50% of youth be out‐of‐

school and 50% in‐school. The change would allow for IVROP to serve 300 eligible youth.

A motion was made by Roberto Rubio and seconded by Mark Gran to approve a contract renewal for

the WIOA Youth Program contract for PY2019‐2020 with IVROP Project Connect in an amount not to

exceed $1,501,363. Edwin Obergfell abstained from voting. Motion carried.

6. Discussion/Action to approve revisions to ICWDB Supportive Services Policy

Priscilla Lopez, introduced the item and overviewed the recommended revisions. The policy currently

stipulates that participants are eligible to receive up to $500 a year in supportive services and $1,000

during a lifetime. New programs that were approved last year required extra costs, such as books and

equipment, and it was determined that the $500 maximum per year was being hit very early on in

trainings and there was a need to revisit the policy.

To allow for more flexibility, the recommended changes included removing the yearly maximum and

increasing the lifetime max to $1,500 per participant. New language was also added regarding the

lifetime maximum could be exceeded only on a case by case bases based upon documented needs

assessment and approval by the ICWEDO Director. In addition, supportive services payment for actual

milage will coincide with the current Internal Revenue Service (IRS) authorized per mile rate. This

reimbursement rate will be updated as the IRS rate changes. Clients will be reimbursed round trip.

A question arose from Mark Gran, Board Member, regarding participants currently enrolled on whether

they would be eligible for the increase in the case they had already met the current yearly maximum.

Once the policy is approved, they would then become eligible to receive additional supportive service

funding, under the conditions of the revised policy.

A motion was made by Robert Rubio and seconded by Ruth Duarte to approve revised Supportive

Services Policy as presented. Motion carried.

7. Discussion/Action to approve ICWDB BYLAWS

ICWDB BYLAWS were discussed and reviewed. The recommended revision included removing the

appointment of the ICWDB Treasurer in order to make this an elected office by the ICWDB members.

Currently no member is appointed as ICWDB Treasurer.

A motion was made by Ruth Duarte and seconded by Robert Rubio to approve the ICWDB BYLAWS as

presented. Motion carried.

8. Discussion/Action to develop and approve the nomination slate of officers for Program Year 2019‐

2020

A motion was made by Roberto Rubio and seconded by Edwin Obergfell to develop and approve the

nomination slate of officers for Program Year 2019‐2020. Motion carried.

MEETING DATE: June 26, 2019 ITEM: 7 SUBJECT: Discussion/Action regarding selection process for AJCC

Operator in Imperial County FROM: Priscilla Lopez, ICWED Director RECOMMENDATION: ICWED Director recommends the release of Request for Proposals for AJCC Operator PY2019-2020. BACKGROUND: Per Workforce Services Directive 16-14 “Selection of AJCC Operators and Career Services Providers”, Local Boards must select their AJCC Operator through a competitive process at least once every four years (WIOA Section 121[d][2][A]). As part of that competitive process, Local Boards are required to clearly articulate the expected roles and responsibilities of the AJCC Operator (Title 20 CFR Section 678.620[a]). The role of the AJCC Operator includes the following:

Coordinating the service delivery of required AJCC partners and service providers.

Ensuring the implementation of partner responsibilities and contributions agreed upon in the AJCC Partner Memorandums of Understanding.

AJCC Operators may be a single public, private, or non-profit entity or consortium of entities. However, if a consortium of entities consists of AJCC partners, it must include a minimum of three of the required AJCC partners listed in WIOA Section 121(b)(1). The types of entities eligible to be an AJCC Operator includes the following (WIOA Section 121[d][2][B]):

An institution of higher education. An employment service state agency established under the Wagner-

Peyser Act. A community-based organization, nonprofit organization, or workforce

intermediary. A private for-profit entity.


42

A government agency. Another interested organization or entity, which may include a local

chamber of commerce or other business organization, or a labor organization.

Local Boards must ensure that, in carrying out WIOA programs and activities, AJCC Operators adhere to the following (Title 20 CFR Section 678.600):

Disclose any potential conflicts of interest arising from the relations of the AJCC Operator with particular training service providers or other service providers in accordance with Uniform Guidance Section 200.318.

Do not establish practices that create disincentives to providing services to individuals with barriers to employment who may require longer-term services, such as intensive employment, training, and education services.

Comply with federal regulations and procurement policies relating to the calculation and use of profits as outlined in Uniform Guidance.

Adhere to any applicable firewalls or internal controls. When selecting an AJCC Operator, Local Boards are required to fully adhere to the federal procurement standards outlined in Uniform Guidance Section 200.318-200.326, as well as their local procurement policies. Although the intent of WIOA is for all Local Boards to procure their AJCC Operators through a full and open competitive process, the Uniform Guidance allows for very limited instances in which alternate procurement methods may be allowed, if substantial justification is provided. The following are allowable procurement processes under Uniform Guidance:

Sealed Bid-Uniform Guidance Section 200.320(c) Competitive Proposals-Uniform Guidance Section 200.320(d) Sole Source-Uniform Guidance Section 200.320(f):

o The AJCC Operator services are only available from a single source.

o The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation.

o After solicitation from a number of sources, competition is determined to be inadequate.

FISCAL IMPACT: Not to exceed $50,000
