RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Interlocal Agreement between Santa Rosa Board of Commissioners and Escambia County Board of Commissioners and Workforce Escarosa, Inc., dba CareerSource Escarosa - Tonya Gant, Neighborhood & Human Services Department Director

That the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the Interlocal Agreement between the Santa Rosa County Board of Commissioners, Escambia County Board of Commissioners, and Workforce Escarosa, Inc., dba Career Source Escarosa. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) provides that when a local workforce board represents multiple units of local governments within a local area, the respective local governments may execute an Agreement specifying means by which 1) local board members are appointed and 2) local government units will carry out the other responsibilities assigned to them under WOIA. Consistent with WIOA, the proposed Interlocal Agreement addresses the appointment of CareerSource Escarosa board members and the counties' respective responsibilities under WIOA.

BACKGROUND:

The United States Congress amended the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) on which the current interlocal agreement dated March 1, 2012, is based. The new Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) established new requirements and conditions relating to grant recipients and local workforce development boards. The proposed Interlocal Agreement addresses these new requirements and conditions.

The proposed Interlocal Agreement replaces the current 2012 agreement which expires on June 30, 2017. The proposed Interlocal Agreement continues for a three-year term and renews automatically for an additional two-year period unless either party exercises its option for nonrenewal.
