Board Member Nomination
Review and approve or deny Executive Committee’s recommendation for Board Membership.
Committee Request
The President has been formally notified of the resignations of Ann Luke (Wells Fargo) and Matt Chesnut (Space Coast Economic Development Commission) from the Brevard Workforce Board due to changes in their employment status. Both are pursuing other career opportunities that unfortunately do not align with Brevard Workforce’s bylaws for membership.
Background
The following nomination would fill the vacant business seat with a specific focus on small business ownership. Robert Jordan, President, Genesis VII, Inc. is recommended by the Executive Committee to fill a business seat. Genesis VII, Inc. is a varied company specializing in engineering – logistics and construction services; procurement services and contract management. Mr. Jordan is a very involved community member as a former School Board member, Vice Chair of Parrish Medical Center and board member for several community organizations including the EDC of Florida’s Space Coast. Mr. Jordan’s involvement with Brevard Workforce will be valuable due to his insight with small business workforce needs.
Action
Approve or deny the Executive Committee recommendation of Robert Jordan as Board Member to be sent to the County Commission for ratification.

FWDA Legislative Agenda
Every year the Florida Workforce Development Association (FWDA) establishes a legislative agenda (Attachment A) and asks each Regional Workforce Board to review the items and determine their level of support for the agenda. FWDA does hire a lobbyist who only lobbies on the agenda items that are agreed to by the FWDA membership.
Background
The President has been involved in establishing many of the items that are on the FWDA legislative agenda and fully supports it.
Recommendation
Review and approve or deny the FWDA legislative agenda for the 2012 Legislative Session.
Action
Florida Workforce Development Association Legislative Agenda 2012
Action requested: Full integration of Florida’s Unemployment system with Florida’s Employ Florida Marketplace and incentivizing the hiring of early UC claimants
Integration of Florida’s Unemployment System
Justification: • Fully integrating Florida’s UC system with the Employ Florida Marketplace will create a system where re-
employment efforts are recognized as the first step of the UC claims filing process and the collection of benefits the second step.
• The first step in claiming unemployment compensation should be to complete registration in Florida’s re- employment system.
• The two systems should communicate directly to decrease fraud and waste as well as improve the ability of the re-employment system to assist those seeking employment by providing more of an applicant’s employment history.
• Continuing to operate Florida’s UC as a standalone system costs the state more money than the integration into EFM in the long run.
Action requested: Require all state agencies, state supported education and training entities, and state contractors and organizations to post or provide for posting all their available jobs into EFM. Also, require all state funded post secondary educational institutions to transmit all information on the students and alumni that register with their respective career placement centers as part of graduation requirements to EFM, or require students to register into EFM as part of their school graduation requirements.
Creating Florida’s Central Talent System
Justification: • There is a lack of job seekers registered in EFM to fill some of the higher level jobs that many employers are
seeking. Many highly skilled applicants don’t have the perception that the state’s job matching system contains higher skilled jobs and therefore don’t utilize in EFM when looking for a job.
• Many employers who are seeking young graduates have no single resource to use. They must decide on “which” college, university or other post secondary institution to place their job listing with. Florida has a state of art job matching system. It is time that all partners put it to use as a central talent access point.
• The current method of students registering with the career placement offices of colleges and universities across Florida makes each student’s employment file available only to the employers who post job opportunities on that institution’s site. This method does not allow Florida’s businesses, most of which are small, an easy way to broadly seek the talent produced by our education system. This method is also not efficient in retaining Florida’s talent within our state; those whose education has been supported by their parents, and Florida’s taxpayers.
Action requested: Restore the Workforce TANF budget to its historic funding level of $100 million. TANF Fund Restoration to the Workforce System
Justification: • The local workforce system delivers the services that put welfare recipients into jobs, and works with them to
achieve self sufficiency. With cuts to the Dept. of Children and Families (DCF) and a subsequent closing of many of their offices, and the automation of both food stamp and cash assistance applications, one stop centers are serving more and more welfare recipients before they have ever visited a DCF office.
• Many TANF applicants are not work ready and need very intensive services to become work ready. Our current funding level causes competing priorities in serving TANF clients and thousands of unemployed Floridians and employers who depend upon the workforce system to help them get back to work and find the employees they need, respectively. Note: While the TANF allocation to the Workforce system has decreased, Florida’s TANF block grant allocation has not.

University of Central Florida (UCF) Training Vendor Agreement (Related Party Contract)
Background
Florida Statute 445.007 and WFI Policy concerning regional workforce board contracting states “for any contract exceeding $25,000 between a regional workforce board and a member of that board that has any relationship with the contracting vendor, unless the contract has been reviewed by the Agency for Workforce Innovation and Workforce Florida, Inc.” The WFI policy further states “No workforce board (Workforce Florida, Inc. or a regional workforce board) shall enter into a contract with one of its own board members, with an organization represented by its own board member or with any entity where a board member has any relationship with the contracting vendor.” The policy does allow however that at a board’s discretion when a contract with an agency (i.e. public schools, community colleges, state universities, etc.) is represented by a board member and said member does not personally benefit financially from such contracts, the agency may be exempted from the policy.
During the past year, Brevard Workforce in collaboration with Citrus, Levy, Marion Regional Workforce Development Board (CLM Board) and the Workforce Development Board of Flagler and Volusia Counties (FV Board), has reached an unprecedented agreement with UCF to enter into a single joint training agent agreement with the three regions to provide a broad range of educational and training services to eligible individuals from any of the Boards’ respective regions. This agreement extends to all UCF Regional Campuses, Colleges, Institutes, Incubators, Labs and Centers. UCF is not represented on either the CLM Board nor the FV Board however, UCF is a member of the BW Board therefore this agreement must now be ratified by the BW Board under the above exception for a not to exceed amount for Brevard Workforce [only]for the term of the agreement.
Staff recommends approval of the attached UCF Training Vendor agreement in an amount not to exceed $50,000 for the term of the five year agreement.
Recommendation
Approve or deny staff recommendation to approve the UCF Training Vendor agreement in an amount not to exceed $50,000 for the term of the five year agreement and for approval by D.E.O.
Action
On the Job Training (OJT) Contract with Board Member
Florida Statute 445.007 and WFI Policy concerning regional workforce board contracting states that any contract between a regional workforce board and a member of that board who may benefit financially or that has any relationship with the contracting vendor must be approved at Board level and reported to WFI, and if over $25,000 must be approved by WFI prior to executing the contract.
Background
Recognizing that the board convenes on a quarterly basis, and to be able to meet business needs in a timely and efficient manner, staff has worked closely with the employer listed below to identify their currently known and subsequently anticipated OJT, EWT and AWE training needs. Where there certainly may be other opportunities presented at future board meetings, by approving this request today, Brevard Workforce will be able to assist this business customer. Because this is the second OJT contract and the total of the two exceeds the $25,000 limit, this contract will be sent to Department of Economic Opportunity(DEO) staff for final approval. The contract will begin upon receipt of such approval.
Recommendation
Staff recommends Board approval of the following contract: Business Name: Coastal Steel Board Member: Dale Coxwell Total Not to Exceed: $24,050.00 OJT for the following position with a maximum reimbursement of $24,050.00: Mechanical Engineer
Action Approve or deny contract recommendation to DEO for Coastal Steel OJT for a mechanical Engineer.

Action Brief Individual Training Account Vendor Procurement
Background The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) requires interested training providers to participate in an evaluative procurement process to be placed on the Brevard Workforce list of training vendors. Training is provided through an Individual Training Account (ITA) or a pre-vocational training voucher. This process allows for WIA required customer choice for training vendors.
During the first quarter of PY 2011-2011, there were 7 vendors who submitted a total of 25 programs for evaluation. Of the vendors who requested evaluation, the corresponding number of programs reviewed included: Ultimate Medical Academy – 9; Stetson University – 7; Stetson University/Deland -1; Aerostar – 1; L.S. Coding – 1; National Business Institute – 1; and Academy of Cosmetology – 5. Each vendor and program is evaluated based on BW Policy PLN 02-03 “Selection of ITA Training Providers”. Programs not recommended are usually because the training vendor has not provided data to substantiate one or all of the following: 1.) Program does not address a targeted occupation on the TOL [Targeted Occupation List], 2.) Program has not been in place for 12 months or attended for 1 semester 3.) Vendor does not submit the letters verifying placements of graduates. 4. Vendor has used outdated forms or old application package format that does not have the required data necessary to evaluate.
The programs reviewed by the BWC at their October 6, 2011 meeting: National Business Institute of Florida’s (NBI) Commercial Truck Operator (CTO): NBI is a Florida training corporation established in 1989. NBI's Central Florida facilities are located at 4950 Recker Highway in Winter Haven, Florida, 33880. The campus includes a 2,000 sq. ft. training facility, an off-road driving range which includes track space for training on NBI's fleet of Freightliner tractor-trailers. Equipment integral to training is available and maintained at the campus. Academy of Cosmetology (AoC) Massage Therapy:
AoC is a training vendor licensed by the Florida Department of Education in 1990. The first of 3 sites (Merritt Island, Palm Bay and Melbourne) was purchased in 1986. The Merritt Island location is 10,000 sq. ft. facility located at 2088 N. Courtenay Parkway, Merritt Island, Florida, 32953. It is fully equipped and accommodates six massage bays, a classroom and scrub area.
The “Review Sheets for Proposed Training Programs” are attached. A rating team consisting of BW staff reviewed the package submitted by the vendors based on all the applicable evaluation criteria as established in BW Policy PLN 02-03 “Selection of ITA Training Providers”. Based on the Targeted Occupations Entry Level Wage of $11.54 for a Commercial Truck Operator, and Massage Therapists Entry Level Wage of $12.31, the cost of these programs fit in the “Bridge Tier” of $9.01-$14.00 which allows a maximum investment of up to $7,000. The program cost is

Page 28 of 80
It was recommended that ex-aerospace workers be surveyed and then videoed to show successes and to overcome employer reluctance to hire laid off aerospace workers because of the perception that local businesses cannot compete with the old salaries and therefore will be used as a stepping stone to a higher paid job. It was also recommended that employers be surveyed concerning their reluctance to hire the long-term unemployed and then address those perceptions in a video and outreach effort.

Janet Eastman is no longer a board member as she has been replaced as the President of the Brevard Federation of Teachers by Richard Smith. The AFL-CIO has nominated Tim Maitland, Business Manager/Secretary-Treasurer of International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 78 to fill the vacant Labor Union seat.
Board Member Nominations
New State level legislation has been passed that removes the requirement for three Labor Union seats on local Workforce Investment Boards. Therefore, Labor Union representation definition defaults to the Federal legislation requirement, which states “labor representatives’ thereby implying more than one is required on local Workforce Investment Boards. The impact of not having the third Labor Union seat was discussed noting that it reduces the amount of Business seats by 1.5 . Motion to recommend to the next meeting of the full Board of Directors that the Board should reduce Labor Union seats to two made by Mike Menyhart and seconded by Tim Yandell. Motion passed unanimously.

2011 Living Wage Study
Brevard Workforce (BW) staff has prepared a Living Wage Study in accordance with the
“Definition of the Local Living Wage” for the Brevard County area established in late 2000 and
early 2001 by staff of the Brevard Workforce, a special Living Wage ad hoc committee, and the
BWDB Better Jobs/Better Wages Committee. The definition developed by this committee is as
follows:
Background
“Living Wage is the hourly salary that must be earned in Brevard County to support a family at a level of self-sufficiency so that the family may meet their basic needs, and through progression, ultimately eliminate the need of any government assistance programs.”
In 2009 the definition and the elements included in the study were reviewed and revised where
necessary to reflect changing lifestyles and economies. The study attempts to update
information from previous studies completed by KOG and Associates, Inc. and BW staff in terms
of the cost of living in Brevard County and is updated every other year.
The following table demonstrates the comparison to past studies:
Year Annual Range Hourly Range % +/- from prior Year
2000 $23,428.20 to
2003 $26,734.61 to
2005 $32,870.52 to
Page 39 of 80
2011 $40,700.76 to
$86,132.80 $19.57 to $41.41 +3% to +13%
The amount for a Single Person in 2005 was $19,003.32 ($9.14 per hour), $25,101.00 ($12.07
per hour) in 2009, and $24,029.04 ($11.55 per hour) in 2011.
A more detailed summary of the 2011 study will be available at the Board meeting and the full
report can be supplied upon request.

Background
Under the Brevard Workforce Strategic Plan this committee has taken up Goal #2 – Strengthen Key Business Clusters
as its focus. One of the measures under that goal is to increase businesses use of Brevard Workforce. One of the tasks under that measure is to research and determine baseline data on businesses use of Brevard Workforce services to determine the appropriate goal for growth for the coming year. The Business Workforce Committee directed staff to bring this data for review on an annual basis to be used as a piece of the total analysis about the business use of the Brevard Workforce.
That data is contained in the attached tables and shows the number of unique businesses who received a service and also the number of services those businesses used. The number of services is a significantly higher number because each business can and does receive multiple services. The services are broken out as Job Order Service and Other Services. Other services can include but are not limited to reductions in force, salary information, labor market information, employed worker training, on the job training, job fairs, interview space, applicant pre-screening, etc. The first table contains the number of services utilized by companies within the key industries including the number of job orders placed within those industries. With the transition to the new Business Process Reengineering (BPR) model, which focuses on business as our primary customer, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of services being provided to businesses that Brevard Workforce touches. The second table shows the number of employers who placed job orders and received other services. While the number of businesses touched has also increased in all areas except construction, the data indicates that we have not seen the same dramatic increase in serving new businesses. This is most likely a direct effect of the economy and businesses that are not currently seeking employees.

Background:
On July 20, 2011, Brevard Workforce, BW, kicked off BizLaunch, a job-club like gathering specifically aimed at entrepreneurs and small business startups with a day-long event called the Entrepreneur Experience. (See Agenda Figure 1) The session was meant to introduce participants to what they could expect from weekly two hour meetings. The program consisted of a keynote speaker, Trox Austell, who has started eight businesses; an introduction to curriculum provided by The Heartland Institute; a panel of small business support organizations; and a panel of entrepreneurs. During the program, participants gave vital insight into what curriculum they are looking for to help them with their progression. With this information BW has created and solidified curriculum through the end of September, including four sessions presented by the Women’s Business Center at FIT. Sessions will cover: using personal strengths to create a viable business model, an introduction to “The Guided Business Plan”, social media marketing, and a success story from a Women’s Business Center client. The following month’s curriculum is being created from BizLaunch participant feedback and will be ready to distribute to participants by the end of September. The turn out for BizLaunch has exceeded expectations. Initial projections suggested that there would be a class of about 15 individuals weekly. While attendance fluctuates, BizLaunch has had anywhere from 23-28 attendees weekly. For the month of October, the lineup includes: Week 1: Tom Dankowski, a current BizLaunch attendee who has several startups going. He
will address the ”burning passion needed to step out and begin” as well as the mindset for “facing the fear.” Tom is involved in overseas markets and travel, and has a history of 20+ years at KSC. He is determined to now “own his Intellectual Property.
Week 2: Still awaiting confirmation Week 3: Linda Fowler, Linda Fowler is Founder and President of Regionerate, a nationwide
consulting service dedicated to regional collaboration and innovation, civic networking, technology acceleration and economic development. She is currently consulting with many regions across the country on establishing networks to address workforce development, economic development, education transformation, and entrepreneurship opportunities. Over the last few months, Linda has directed a Commerce Department pilot to support the market diversification efforts of small manufacturers in NE Ohio and the Milwaukee 7 region. Regionerate partnered with Economic Modeling Specialists, Inc. (EMSI) and the Institute for Open Networks to
Page 48 of 80
conduct a comprehensive analysis of occupational competencies for high growth industries and high demand occupations in the region.
Week 4: Pete Kaiser, President and Founder of the Kaiser Group will provide insight into his journey into the business of training which began during his tenure in the Air Force. His unique leadership style is based on Abraham Maslow’s book Eupsychian which he will address in his presentation. With a nationwide workforce, his 30 years as an entrepreneur will provide inspiration and encouragement intertwined with practical advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Local Performance Report for July 1, 2011 – September 30, 2011
Background
In conjunction with the Business Process Reengineering (BPR) design, new performance measures were developed that would more closely align with and measure the progress of the new design and focus. These measures were approved by the committee in February 2010 and replaced existing contract performance measures. The attached chart reflects the 4th Quarter End of Year Performance based on the new measures. The chart shows the measures with the Minimum and Accelerated Goals for Contractor payments. The report shows the Performance Rate with a red background if the minimum measure was missed and with a green background if the accelerated rate was met or exceeded. Performance that met the minimum but not accelerated is shown with a normal background. Because these measures are unique to Brevard there is no longer a comparison to performance ranking in other regions. Brevard Workforce Career Centers met and/or exceeded performance for 8 of their 10 measures. One measure (Measure 6 – Market Retention) was evaluated for the calculation time-frames and was modified for this program year. While performance on this measure is still below minimum there is an upward trend showing improvement from 45% at the end of last year compared to 64.2% for this report period. Measure 9 – WIA Youth Positive Outcome Rate was the other measure missed during this first quarter. This is an expected anomaly due the fact that this measure is outcome based and those positive outcomes typically coincide with the end of the school year while the negative outcomes occur earlier in the year. Board staff has continued to track the original Federal and State measures. Those results are shown in the package as the ‘MMR Watch Measures’ brief. While performance on the MMR measures are below average, all of them continue to trend upward showing increases over March’s report. These measures continue to be monitored closely.

Background
Brevard Workforce has developed locally defined measures that are used for the purpose of tracking contractor performance. Those measures are reported to the Committee and Board on a quarterly basis (Local Performance Report) and were designed with the idea of tracking those items necessary to maintain the focus and achieve the success of the Brevard Workforce Mission and Vision. Statewide we have additional measures that we must keep track of to maintain our performance with regard to other regions. These measures are also tracked and reported quarterly as the Local Watch Measures. The Local Watch Measures Report shows Region 13 performance and ranking but does not allow review of how other regions are performing. Performance Comparison Regional (Attachment A) takes this report a step further and shows the performance of all regions for the expanded measures as reported on the state Monthly Management Report (MMR). The report shows that Region 13 placed in the top 6 performing regions (green background) on 7 of the 34 measures, 14 measures ranked among the 12 mid-range performing regions (white background), and 9 measures had performance levels ranking among the bottom 6 performing regions (red background). The MMR measures are available monthly and are intended to be leading indicators/management data for performance on the Balanced Score Card Measures (Attachment B). Balanced Score Card (BSC) measures are only available on a quarterly basis and have a 6 to 9 month lag time. They are the measures that determine our eligibility for incentive dollars from the state by comparing our performance to that of other regions. Balanced Score Card Regional Comparison (Attachment B) shows the latest available results (Year-to-date through March 31, 2011) for all 24 regions and the statewide rate. Incentive dollars are paid to regions who have passed 80% of the threshold measures and also had performance rankings in the top 18 regions in 3 key areas (Services to Job
Page 53 of 80
Seekers, Services to Disadvantaged Adults, and Services to Welfare Recipients). Based on this report Region 13 would qualify for the base incentive dollars with rankings of 9, 15 and 11 respectively. Finally there are core measures that are federal measures. These measures are largely retention based and as such are only available on an annual basis. Performance criteria for the federal measures is negotiated by the state with input from the regions and then performance monies are earned by the state and passed down to the regions for these measures based on the negotiated levels. The core measures that earn incentive monies are WIA measures however this report also shows population, unemployment rates and Wagner Peyser measures for comparison purposes. The report (Attachment C – Performance Comparisons National) shows that the state of Florida met or exceeded performance on 5 of the 6 measures outperforming the other states. Even in the measure where performance was not met Florida’s performance was higher than all other states. Despite difficult economic times the state of Florida in general and Brevard Workforce specifically continues to meet performance goals and maintain above average performance when compared to other states in the nation and other regions with the state of Florida. During the Board Retreat in February 2011, members expressed an interest in seeing periodic performance information across states and across Florida. The attached charts are a representation of that data.
