AGENDA ITEM #4
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
TITLE: Role of the One-Stop Operator STRATETIC GOALS: Effective Utilization of Current and Timely Operational Intelligence for all Stakeholders POLICY/PLAN/LAW: Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA): Role of the One-Stop
Operator ACTION REQUESTED: Review and Approve the Role of the One-Stop Operator BACKGROUND: WIOA legislation requires a more integrated philosophy of service
delivery by requiring a clear separation between the one-stop operator responsibilities and the provider of adult and dislocated worker career services. WIOA requires local boards to define the one-stop operator’s responsibilities and to procure the one-stop operator. WIOA also requires a differentiated role of a One-Stop Operator whose main function is to serve as the coordinator of service delivery for all one stop required partners including Adult Education, Vocational Rehabilitation, Community Services Block Grant providers and the Division of Blind Services.
At the January 2017 CSRC Board of Directors meeting, the definition
and roles/responsibilities of the One-Stop Operator were approved. The Request for Proposal (RFP) to procure the One-Stop Operator was also approved by the Board and an RFP was issued March 1, 2017. Through CSRC’s competitive procurement process, a sub-recipient Agreement was awarded to Career and Technical Consultants, LLC for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2021 depending upon performance and to be renewed annually as approved by the Board.
The P&S Committee, after reviewing the One-Stop Operator
Performance Report for Program Year (PY) 2017-2018, approved the renewal of the One-Stop Operator Sub-Recipient Agreement with Career and Technical Consultants, LLC for PY 2018-2019. At their June 6, 2018 meeting, the CSRC full Board approved the renewal.
On January 7, 2019, Career and Technical Consultants, LLC submitted a
letter of resignation to the CSRC President/CEO to become effective June 30, 2019. For compliance under WIOA, CSRC must complete the process of competitively procuring another One-Stop Operator. Through lessons learned and updated WIOA guidance, staff has updated the definition of the roles and responsibilities of the CSRC One-Stop Operator.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Role of the One-Stop Operator. SUPPORTING MATERIALS: CSRC Staff’s updated definition of the roles and responsibilities of the One-Stop Operator for CSRC. BOARD STAFF: Glenda Harden, Senior Vice President of Operations [email protected] (866) 482-4473 x. 427

A. ESTABLISHMENT OF LOCAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARDS
1. Formation of Local Workforce Development Boards
The Governor, in partnership with CSF—the State Workforce Investment Board—establishes
criteria for use by the Chief Elected Official in the appointment of members to the LWDBs. [§
107(b), WIOA, and § 445.007, Fla. Stat.] The Chief Elected Official shall be the appointing
authority for the members of the LWDBs. [§ 107(c), WIOA, § 445.007(1), Fla. Stat.]
In a case in which a LWDA includes more than one unit of general local government, the Chief
Elected Officials of such units may execute an agreement that specifies the respective roles
of the individual Chief Elected Officials with regard to:
The appointment of the LWDB members from the individuals nominated or
recommended; and
The carrying out of any other responsibilities assigned to such officials by federal or state
law.
If, after a reasonable effort, the Chief Elected Officials are unable to reach such an agreement,
the Governor may appoint the LWDB members from individuals nominated or recommended.
[§ 107(c)(1)(B)(3), WIOA]
Chief Elected Officials shall develop a process for soliciting LWDB nominations and for selecting LWDB members, consistent with federal and state law and this Administrative Policy. Documentation supporting the nomination/selection process, including names of nominating organizations and names of all candidates and their qualifications, must be retained for not less than five years.
An individual may be appointed as a representative of more than one entity if the individual
meets all criteria for such representation. An individual who represents more than one area
must be appropriately nominated by the organizations or entities they will represent, must
have optimum policy making authority and must be able to speak affirmatively on behalf of
each entity represented.
Members of the board shall represent diverse geographic areas within the local area; and the
importance of minority and gender representation shall be considered when making
appointments to the board. [§ 107(b)(5), WIOA, § 445.007(1), Fla. Stat.]

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
TITLE: Subsequent Local Workforce Development Area Designation POLICY/PLAN/LAW: CareerSource Florida Administrative Policy # 94 ACTION REQUIRED: Review Subsequent Local Workforce Development Area Designation BACKGROUND: Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (Pub. L. 113-128),
the Governor must designate local workforce development areas after consultation with the State Workforce Board (SWB), local chief elected officials (CEO) and LWDBs.
WIOA requires that the Governor approve a request for initial designation as a local workforce development area from any area that was designated as a local workforce development area for purposes of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 for the two-year period preceding the enactment of WIOA, provided the area performed successfully and sustained fiscal integrity. Local workforce development areas that receive an initial designation shall be granted a subsequent designation if, for the two most recent program years, the local workforce development area performed successfully and sustained fiscal integrity, and in the case of a local workforce development area in a planning region, met the region planning requirements as described in WIOA Sec. 106(c)(1).

I. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this policy is to outline the process for new and subsequent area designation
for local workforce development boards (LWDBs) under the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA).
II. BACKGROUND
Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (Pub. L. 113-128), the Governor must
designate local workforce development areas after consultation with the State Workforce
Board (SWB), local chief elected officials (CEO) and LWDBs.
WIOA requires that the Governor approve a request for initial designation as a local workforce
development area from any area that was designated as a local workforce development area

IV. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The purpose of the local workforce development area is to serve as the jurisdiction for the
administration of workforce development activities using Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth
funds allocated by the State and to coordinate efforts related to the other core programs at a
community level. The Governor shall approve a request for designation of an area from a unit
of general local government as a local workforce development area in accordance with the
process and considerations outlined in WIOA Section 106b(1)(A) and (B).
Under the authority granted to states in WIOA Section 106(b)(2), each of Florida’s existing
local workforce investment areas that were operating in accordance with WIA were
automatically granted an initial designation as a local workforce development area. This initial
designation became effective July 1, 2015 and will expire on June 30, 2017.
1. New Area Designation
The Governor may approve a request at any time for designation as a local workforce
development area from any unit of general local government, including a combination of such
units, if the SWB recommends designation after determining that the area:
a. Is consistent with local labor market areas;
b. Has a common economic development area; and
c. Has the Federal and non-Federal resources, including appropriate education and
training institutions, to administer activities under WIOA subtitle B.
If local representatives have concluded that a new local workforce development area is needed,
the CEOs shall make a request to the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and
CareerSource Florida. The new designation request requires the following steps:
a. A completed request that addresses the required designation criteria as described in
WIOA Section 106:
i. Consistency with local labor market areas.
ii. Has a common economic development area.
36 of 64
DESIGNATION OF LOCAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AREA UNDER WIOA
Page 3 of 6
iii. Has the federal and non-federal resources, including appropriate education and
training institutions, to administer activities under the Youth, Adult and
Dislocated Worker formula programs.
b. The request must contain the signature of all of the CEOs of the units of local
government that will make up the new local workforce development area, to
demonstrate that the request is the consensus of all the units of local government
involved.
c. A statement of how the proposed new area designation will impact those other
workforce areas from which it is withdrawing. It should be understood by any county,
city or combination of such seeking designation, that the new area will only secure the
formula allocated funds for each WIOA funding stream based on the formula factors
as defined by WIOA.
d. CareerSource Florida will review all public comments received and include those
comments in the recommendation packet for approval or disapproval of local
workforce development area designations to the Governor.
e. CareerSource Florida will submit its recommendation to the Governor within ten
business days of CareerSource Florida decision.
f. The final decision rests with the Governor (or designee) and shall be made no later than
six weeks prior to the beginning of the new program year (July 1st).
Additionally, the Governor may re-designate a local workforce development area if the re-
designation has been requested by a local workforce development area and the Governor
approves the request.
2. Subsequent Designation
Local workforce development areas that receive an initial designation shall be granted a
subsequent designation if, for the two most recent program years, the local workforce
development area performed successfully and sustained fiscal integrity, and in the case of
a local workforce development area in a planning region, met the regional planning
requirements as described in WIOA Sec. 106(c)(1). The process for a local area to submit
a subsequent designation request is outlined below:
a. The CEOs must submit a request for subsequent designation (Attachment A) to
CareerSource Florida and DEO every two years beginning July 1, 2017. The completed
form must be submitted via email to: [email protected]. The application to
request subsequent designation is due by April 15 of the renewal year.
b. DEO and CareerSource Florida will review the request submitted to verify that the
stated requirements were met. The submissions will be made available for public
review at www.careersourceflorida.com/wioa for a period not to exceed ten days.
37 of 64
DESIGNATION OF LOCAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AREA UNDER WIOA
Page 4 of 6
c. After the receipt and review of public comment, CareerSource Florida will review the
submissions along with any public comments received, and make recommendations to
the Governor regarding the local workforce development area’s subsequent
designation.
d. Each local workforce development area will be notified of the Governor’s designation
decision within ten business days of receipt by DEO and CareerSource Florida.
The Governor may review a local workforce development area at any time to evaluate
whether that area continues to meet the requirements for subsequent designation.
Additionally, the Governor must review a local workforce development area before
submitting the State Plan during each four-year State planning cycle to evaluate whether
the area continues to meet the requirements for subsequent designation.
3. Performed Successfully
For the purpose of determining subsequent local workforce development area designation,
the term ‘‘performed successfully” means the local workforce development area met or
exceeded the adjusted levels of performance for primary indicators of performance for the
last two consecutive years for which data are available, and that the local area has not failed
the same measure for the last two consecutive program years.
4. Sustained Fiscal Integrity
Sustained Fiscal Integrity for all program years means the Secretary of the United States
Department of Labor has not made a formal determination that either the grant recipient or
the administrative entity of the area misexpended funds due to willful disregard of the
requirements of the provision involved, gross negligence or failure to comply with accepted
standards of administration for the two-year period preceding the determination.
V. APPEAL PROCEDURES FOR DENIAL OR OTHER ADVERSE ACTION(S)
PERTAINING TO LOCAL WIOA AREA DESIGNATION
If the Governor denies a local area designation or makes a decision related to designation that
adversely affects an area, the unit of general local government or grant recipient may submit
an appeal to CareerSource Florida. The appeal procedures are as follows:
1. State Appeal Procedures
a. The request for appeal must be sent by certified mail, return receipt to the President,

AGENDA ITEM #9
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
TITLE: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Summer Youth Program STRATETIC GOALS: Clear, Credible and Trustworthy Commitments and Projects for all Stakeholders POLICY/PLAN/LAW: TANF State Plan, DEO Summer Youth Program Guide ACTION: CSRC staff provided the Programs & Services (P&S) Committee with
information and asked for feedback regarding the issuance of a Request for Quote (RFQ) for a Summer Youth Program sponsored with TANF funds. CSRC staff is requesting the Executive Committee review and provide any feedback of the RFQ as presented.
BACKGROUND: The TANF program requires work in exchange for time-limited public
assistance and provides support for moving families from welfare to work. Federal and State TANF funds must be spent on programs reasonably designed to accomplish at least one of the four purposes of TANF. TANF funds are allowed for summer youth programs that accomplish the following: (1) Assist needy families so that children can be cared for in their own homes or (2) Reduce the dependency of needy parents by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage or (3) Preventing out-of-wedlock pregnancies or (4) Encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families.
CSRC has funded summer youth programs in the past when there was
sufficient TANF funding to be utilized. In 2014, TANF funding was utilized to provide summer youth funding for TANF purpose (3). Under the current DEO Summer Youth Program Guide, programs designed for purpose (3) are no longer allowable. Therefore, CSRC staff is recommending the use of available TANF funding, in the amount of $60,000, to be awarded to youth serving organizations in Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties who provide summer programming that meets TANF purpose (2).
A formal Request for Quote will be issued and invite quotes from youth
service providers that provide tuition-based, off-the-shelf summer activities that promotes job preparation and employment for low-income youth ages 14 – 18. A quote consisting of a cost per student will be required. Vendor contract(s) will be awarded based on the effectiveness of the youth provider in their delivery of comparable services for this age group based on demonstrated performance, cost and quality of training.

BACKGROUND AND GENERAL INFORMATION The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program requires work in exchange for time-limited public assistance and provides support for families moving from welfare to work. Federal TANF funds and state funds may be spent on summer youth programs reasonably designed to accomplish the following purpose of TANF: To end the dependence of needy families by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage. CSRC, Local Workforce Development Board which includes the counties of Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River, is responsible for the delivery of workforce, welfare, and employment support services locally. The TANF funds can be used by CSRC for youth-related activities and services that assist with ending the dependence of needy families by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage. Through the use of TANF funds, CSRC has $60,000 available and is proposing to sponsor a summer activity program(s) for low-income youth ages 14-18. The purpose of this summer activity program is to provide youth, during the summer break from school, opportunities for career exploration, skill development, academic and occupational education.

Priority will be given to organizations currently providing these types of activities for this age group.
All youth must reside in Indian River, Martin, and/or St. Lucie Counties, Florida. The contracts will be for May 1, 2019 through August 9, 2019. This quote package is to be used by Youth Service Provider(s)interested in providing activities for youth ages 14-18 according to the Statement of Work.
