AGENDA ITEM SUBJECT: 2014-2015 BUDGET


RECOMMENDATION: The Executive Committee recommends to the Board to approve the 2014-2015 Budget



BACKGROUND:

The attached “SFWIB Budget – 2014-15” chart is a summary of the annual budgeted revenues and expenditures

for the South Florida Workforce Investment Board (SFWIB). The chart is comprised of four major sections:

1. Prior Budget Year Obligations / Reserves. The award period for the WIA Adult, Youth and Dislocated

Worker grants are for two years. Accordingly, SFWIB allocates WIA program awards so that grant amounts are

expended over the two-year award period. The amounts shown under the column "Prior Budget Year

Obligations/Reserves" are the remaining funds available from the previous program year awards. These

unexpended amounts roll over to the current fiscal year and will be available for use during the current budget

year.

2. 2014-15 State Funding. These second group of columns reflects the new funding awards that SFWIB is

anticipating it will receive for each program during the upcoming budget year. The total award amounts are

divided into amounts: The funds that will be utilized during budget year 2014-15 and the amounts that will be

reserved for budget year 2015-16.

3. 2014-15 Program Budget. The third section is the amounts that form the basis for the funding levels that

will be included in the 2014-15 Budget.

4. 2014-15 Cost Distributions. This section of the budget shows all the proposed expenditures for the 2014-

15 budget years. Expenditures are sub-divided into four major cost categories:

• HQ (Programs and Administrative). These are the anticipated expenditures for operating the SFWIB

Headquarter office. Included under this category are all the staffing and occupancy costs associated with operating

the SFWIB main office. Employees at the Headquarters office work on both administrative and programmatic

activities.

• Training and Support Services. These are the anticipated costs associated with the skills training services

offered by SFWIB, and any related support services such as public transportation, books, tools, uniforms, etc.

Note that only certain grants allow for training and support services expenditures, but all grants require that

employment services be offered to participants.

• Career Center Facility Costs. These are the occupancy costs associated with operating the Career Centers.

SFWIB leases all these facilities from third parties, and directly pays for insurance, utilities and other facility

expenditures. SFWIB does not own any of the locations.

• Provider Contract: These are the expenditure reimbursements to the subcontractors that perform

employment services on behalf of SFWIB. Currently, SFWIB contracts with approximately 15 community based

organizations across Miami Dade and Monroe counties.

SFWIB staff recommends the approval of:

1. The Performance Goals shown in the attachement and the linking of these performance goals to the

expenditure budgets.

2. An additional one year extension of the 2013-14 approved ITA percentage of 40%.

3 The Fiscal Year 2014-15 proposed $62 million expenditure budget and provider allocations as set forth in the

attachment.

LLP to perform the Financial and Compliance Audits for the Fiscal Year ending on June 30, 2014.



BACKGROUND:

On March 14, 2012, staff released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for External Independent Audit Services to

the public. The RFQ solicited responses from experienced and capable Certified Public Accounting firms to

provide financial and single audit of the SFWIB in accord with the Federal Singe Audit Act, Office of

Management and Budget Circular A-133, Florida Single Audit Act, and DEO Final Guidance 05-019.

A Technical Review Proposal Forum was held on April 19, 2012, during which the raters announced their scores.

The Audit Committee then selected BCA Watson Rice, LLP and recommend that offeror to the Board for

approval. On April 19, 2013 the Board approved the Audit Committee's recommendation.

BCA Watson Rice has performed the audits for the past two fiscal years and has done it exceptionally well,

completing the audits by the deadline thus allowing SFWIB to meet its regulatory and contractual requirements.

BACKGROUND:

CareerSource Florida will not be certifying forward Welfare Transition (TANF) funds for any purpose other than

liquidating obligations that exist at June 30, 2014. Accordingly, SFWIB will not be able to carry forward

$400,000 in projected unexpended funding remaining at June 30, 2014.

for all of the above agencies. In following the procurement process of Miami-Dade County, Administrative Order

deadline. A total seven responents submitted proposals for the In-School youth program and seven respondents

submitted proposals for the Out-of-School youth program.

The proposals were evaluated based on the criteria prescribed in the RFP. On June 11, 2014, CSSF held a Public

Review Forum to reveal the respondent’s scores. A total of four respondents met the Youth Council's 80-point

threshold for the In-School Youth program. For the Out-of-School Youth program, six respondents met the Youth

WORKFORCE SERVICES CONTRACTORS PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Balanced Scorecard PY '13-'14

(July 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014)


DATE: 6/19/2014


AGENDA ITEM SUBJECT: WORKFORCE SERVICES CONTRACTORS


RECOMMENDATION: The Workforce Systems Improvement Committee recommends to the Board

authorizing staff to negotiate contracts with Workforce Services RFP respondents based on available funding.



BACKGROUND:

The SFWIB at its February 27, 2014, meeting approved the Executive Committee recommendation to authorize

staff to release a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Workforce Services. The current Workforce Services Providers

were competitively procured to provide Workforce Services in Region 23 for PY 2011 to 2012.

Pursuant to certain contract language allowing renewal contingent on availability of funds for up to two program

years, those providers also delivered Workforce Services for PY 2012 to 2013. The current Workforce Services

contracts were renewed a final year for PY 2013 to 2014 and will expire June 30, 2014.

Staff released a Workforce Services RFP to the public during May 1, 2014, soliciting proposals from

organizations capable of providing Workforce Services within region 23. A total of 9 organizations responded by

the prescribed deadline.

Staff reviewed the submitted proposals based on the criteria detailed in the RFP. A publicly noticed Proposal

review Session was held on June 11, 2014 wherein respondents’ preliminary scores were disclosed. The

reviewers provided their scores per respondent. A table will be provided displaying the results of the Public

Review Session.

The Workforce Systems Improvement Committee recommends to the Board authorizing staff to negotiate

contracts with Workforce Services RFP respondents that has the highest score over the 80 point threshold for the

location requested based on available funding. Except at the location of the City of Hialeah, where the only two

Respondents are current contractors that did not meet the required performance and did they pass due dillegence.

The Workforce Systems Improvement Committee recommends to the Board to release another Workforce

Services RFP to provide services at the City of Hialeah and for Ex-Offenders.

PERFORMANCE REPORT


RECOMMENDATION: N/A



BACKGROUND:

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) requires Local Workforce Boards set certain performance standards for

training vendors. The Federal Register WIA Final Rules explains a training vendor must deliver results and

submit accurate information in order to retain its status as an eligible provider. Furthermore, the Code of Federal

Regulation (CFR) Title 20, Part 663 – Subpart E, Section 663.510 stipulates that Local Workforce Boards conduct

performance and cost analysis related to training vendors. If a training vendor’s program fails to meet the local

Board’s performance standards, it will be removed from the approved programs list.

According to Region 23’s Performance Requirements Policy, training vendors are required to satisfy two of the

following three performance measures: 70 percent completion, 70 percent placement rate (entered unsubsidized

employment), and 70 percent training-related placement rate (entered unsubsidized employment in an occupation

related to the program completed).

In March 2014, SFWIB Office of Continuous Improvement (OCI) mailed letters to all approved training vendors

requesting documentation demostrating compliance with the Performance Policy. OCI recently completed its

review of the documentation submitted by the training vendors. Based on the review, 74 training programs will be

removed. An ITA Performance Summary indicating the results of the review as well as a list of the training

programs slated for removal from the approved training programs offering list is attached.

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: #9d

AGENDA ITEM SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A REVISED INDIVIDUAL TRAINING ACCOUNT POLICY


RECOMMENDATION: The EDIS Committee recommends to the Board the approval of a revised Individual

Training Account (ITA) Policy, as set forth below.

STRATEGIC GOAL: Effective Demand Driven Management Control Tools

STRATEGIC PROJECT: Raise the Bar/One Stop Performance and Consistency

BACKGROUND:

On December 20, 2012, the SFWIB approved a revison to the Individual Training Account (ITA) Policy. The

policy guides SFWIB Center operators and Training Vendors in the administration of ITAs. Federal and state law

permit regional workforce boards to independently develop criteria for the selection and maintenance of Training

Vendors and Programs.

The CSSF staff recommends to the EDIS committee the following ITA policy revisions:

Revision 1 - Training Vendors will be required to meet the "Placement After Training Standard" (per

approved training program) as one of the two minimum performance standards to be considered and be

eligible for renewal of the program.

Revision 2 - SFWIB participants pending PELL Grant approval/award may be enrolled in training through an

ITA voucher. If subsequently awarded, the Pell Grant proceeds will be deducted from the amount of the ITA.

In the case where the Pell award changes from the amount stipulated in the original award letter, the

previously approved ITA amount paid by SFWIB cannot be adjusted. In the case where the Pell award is in

excess of the ITA voucher amount used when the SFWIB participant enrolled, the Training Vendor must

reimburse SFWIB the difference.

III. Subject Training utilizing Individual Training Accounts (ITAs)

IV. Purpose

The purpose of the ITA Policy is to provide all SFWIB stakeholders with uniform guidelines regarding the use of training funds to pay for approved training programs and to determine subsequent program eligibility.

V. Background

An ITA is the vehicle through which SFWIB expends training dollars. ITAs may be used to pay for or help defray the cost of training at an approved SFWIB Training Vendor. ITAs may also be used to provide training in an occupation clearly linked to a priority industry that is in local demand or that appears on the Region’s Targeted Occupations List (TOL). ITAs are available to customers eligible for WIA Adult, Dislocated Worker, Youth and Welfare Transition programs; however, note that an ITA is neither an entitlement nor a right.

VI. Assessment

Career Center staff is required to individually assess eligible participants for training prior to the issuance of an ITA voucher. The assessment process consists of examining a participant’s academic and employment background as well as short- and long-term career interests. The intent of this process is to assist the participant in selecting a training program he/she is likely to succeed in and ultimately contribute to the achievement of economic self-sufficiency.

VII. Individual Training Account Fee Structure A. ITA Cost

By May 15th of a Program Year (PY), Training Vendors are required to submit program cost modifications for the next PY to SFWIB staff. That information is used to update the program cost information seen on the SFWIB website and in SAMS. The maximum ITA amount for each PY is derived from the program cost information submitted by the public education Training Vendors. Specifically, the ITA limit per public school training program is set at 100% of the public institutions’ submitted cost information and 110% of the public institutions’ cost information for private institutions’ comparable programs. Where there is no comparable regionally approved public education institution program, the cost of the approved private Training Vendor’s program will be based on occupational title, quadrant category and cost negotiation within the applicable quadrant category.

B. Individual Account Training Cap

The maximum cap for the Individual Training Account (ITA) is $10,000.00.


C. ITA Amount for Occupational Training Areas

The ITA amount for each occupational training area is based on if the occupation is identified as High Wage/High Growth, High Wage/Low Growth, Low Wage/High Growth, and Low Wage/Low Growth.

The maximum ITA amounts are as follows:

Occupations identified as High Growth/High Wage up to and including $10,000.00

Occupations identified as Low Growth/High Wage up to and including $7,500.00

Occupations identified as High Growth/Low Wage up to and including $5,000.00

Occupations identified as Low Growth/Low Wage up to and including $2,500.00

The formula to determine whether an occupation is high wage/high growth, low/wage growth, etc. is based on the State of Florida LMI data for the fastest growing occupations within Region 23 by growth rate and salary rate. Annually, the average growth rate and average salary rate will be determined for the identified occupations, sorted by growth rate and average salary, and then placed in the appropriate category.

D. ITA Voucher

A voucher will be issued covering up to and including 50 percent of the maximum approved ITA amount. In order for the voucher to be submitted for payment, the actual start date must be entered in SAMS and the participant must attend class for 14 consecutively scheduled classes. The 14-day period begins to run by entering participant information in SAMS, such as actual start date and length of program. Upon the participant’s completion of up to and including 50 percent of the training program, a voucher will be issued for the remaining maximum ITA amount. Note: The payment of the remaining amount is contingent on the Training Vendor’s submission to the applicable Service Provider of documentation evidencing the participant’s attendance records. All vouchers must be issued within the same Program Year in which service(s) was/were rendered.

Please refer to the SFWIB Performance Reporting Requirements Policy & Procedures for more information.

VIII. Duration of Training for Individual Training Accounts Individual Training Accounts can only be used to cover the cost of up to and including one year of training. This is a lifetime limit.

Exception: Those programs that the SFWIB have identified as targeted industries are exempt from the one-year limitation.

If the SFWIB participant’s training cost is covered by another funding source, for example, Pell Grants or scholarships, of the maximum ITA amount approved only up to and including $2,000 may be issued via voucher to offset the costs of books, certification examination/testing fees, etc., for up to and including one year of training. Note that this $2,000 sum is not separate from the approved maximum ITA amount.

SFWIB participants that elect a training program that is more than one year in length, i.e., an Associate in Science (A.S. Degree) program, will be responsible for all training costs beyond the one year covered by the ITA. Associate of Arts (A.A. Degree) and Bachelor Degree programs are not covered by ITAs.


IX. Financial Aid

A. Pell Grants

All SFWIB participants requesting training using an ITA are required to apply for the Pell Grant (Title IV) by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

SFWIB participants pending PELL Grant approval/award may be enrolled in training through an ITA voucher. If subsequently awarded, the Pell Grant proceeds will be applied toward the tuition costs, with the ITA paying only for costs in excess of the Pell award. In the case that the Pell award covers the cost of the training, the Training Vendor will reimburse SFWIB the amount of tuition paid by SFWIB. SFWIB participants pending PELL Grant approval/award may be enrolled in training through an ITA voucher. If subsequently awarded, the Pell Grant proceeds will be deducted from the amount of the ITA. In the case where the Pell award changes from the amount stipulated in the original award letter, the previously approved ITA amount paid by SFWIB cannot be adjusted. In the case where the Pell award is in excess of the ITA voucher amount used when the SFWIB participant enrolled, the Training Vendor must reimburse SFWIB the difference.

B. Other Financial Aid/Student Loans

If a SFWIB participant has another grant or scholarship, the ITA funds will be available only after the other grant or scholarship has been utilized.

SFWIB participants who are eligible for a Pell Grant that elect to attend training programs may be required to obtain student loans and/or other grants to cover the cost of the program that they wish to enroll in if the ITA amount and the Pell Grant , if eligible for Pell, do not cover the full cost of the program. If the SFWIB participant is not Pell eligible, or the school or program is not Title IV eligible, the SFWIB participant will be required to obtain student loans and/or other financial aid to cover the cost of the program not covered by the ITA amount. SFWIB will not be responsible for any debts that a SFWIB participant incurs.

X. Limitations 1) Only one training program per SFWIB participant can be paid through the ITA; participants

are limited to one lifetime ITA. 2) The SFWIB participant must enroll in school half-time or full-time as defined by the Training

Vendor. 3) The ITA can only be used for courses that are specifically required for the program of study. 4) SFWIB will only pay once for each required class in an approved training program. SFWIB

will not pay for re-takes. This one-time payment includes remedial courses. 5) SFWIB will only pay once for each required certification examination. 6) In the case of those occupational training areas where the State licensing and/or certification

examinations are offered only in the English language, SFWIB participants enrolled in such training shall be taught in English.

7) Associate of Arts (A.A. Degree) and Bachelor Degree programs are not covered by the

Individual Training Account.


XI. Service Account Management System (SAMS)

Approved SFWIB Training Vendors shall utilize the SFWIB SAMS Training Vendor screen to submit information on training status (drop, withdrawals, Pell information, etc.), attendance, training progress, placement, credential attainment information and performance information on a regular basis. The Training Vendor will provide credential information to the Service Provider and any follow-up data required.

Service Provider case managers shall track SFWIB participants’ training performance through SAMS.

Please refer to the SFWIB Performance Reporting Requirements Policy & Procedures for more information on the responsibilities of Training Vendors and Service Providers relevant to SAMS data reconciliation.

XII. Performance Measures

Training Vendors that agree to accept ITAs from SFWIB will be required to meet a minimum of two of the listed SFWIB performance standards, of which, one must be the Placement after Training standard. The table below lays out the performance measures.

Performance Measure Performance Standard Completion Rate 70% Placement After Training 70% Training-Related Placement 70% Economic Benefit Per Placement Quadrant Benchmark

Low Growth / Low Wage $14,785 High Growth / Low Wage $12,493 Low Growth / High Wage $31,542 High Growth / High Wage $29,201

A. Completion Rate

This measure examines the percentage of participants who successfully complete training in an approved SFWIB program. B. Placement after Training

This measure examines those SFWIB participants who completed training and have been placed in unsubsidized employment within 180 days of training completion.

C. Training-Related Placements

This measure examines those SFWIB participants who completed training and obtained unsubsidized employment within 180 days of completion in a training-related occupation.

D. Economic Benefit per Placement

This measure examines the percentage of the return on investment per approved training program for each participant placed. The approved program must meet and/or exceed the standard economic benefit per placement by quadrant.


E. Subsequent Eligibility

For an approved training program to be considered for renewal, the program must meet or exceed a minimum of two of the performance measures. measures, of which, one must be the Placement after Training standard. Programs neither meeting nor exceeding a minimum of two of the measures will be removed from SFWIB’s approved offerings list. For a removed program to return to the approved offerings list, that program must be resubmitted for a programmatic review and Board-approval a year from the date of removal.

XIII. Roles and Responsibilities

Training Vendors and Service Providers are required to input data relevant to each of the above measures into SAMS. Additionally, Vendors and Providers are required to input wage data per placement into SAMS. Note that supporting documentation for each system entry must be readily available for review.
