This proposed bill for an ordinance amends the Operating Budget by appropriating an additional
$1,521,232 into the Office of Housing and Community Development's Workforce Investment Act(WIA)
program. This appropriation reflects funding allocations received by the Department of Labor and
Industrial Relations for the Program Year(PY)2012. No County General Funds are involved. The Bill
sets up the proper accounts to receive and expend the WIA funds.
The Office of Housing and Community Development indicates that these funds will be utilized to assist
adults, dislocated workers, and youth by providing services that will train individuals to increase
employment,retention,earnings, skills and literacy; thereby improving the quality of the workforce,
reducing welfare dependency and enhancing the productivity and competiveness of the local economy.
Pursuant to Section 46-7, Hawai`i Revised Statutes, County departments must obtain the consent of the
Council to enter into agreements with the Federal or State governments respecting action to be taken
pursuant to any powers granted by law to furnish, expend, and receive any funds or other assistance in
connection with projects being or to be undertaken pursuant to those powers.
