This appropriation reflects funding allocations received by the Department of <br /> Labor and Industrial Relations for the Program Year(PY) 2012. No County General Funds are <br /> involved. The Bill sets up the proper accounts to receive and expend the WIA funds. <br /> The Office of Housing and Community Development indicates that these funds will be utilized to <br /> assist adults, dislocated workers, and youth by providing services that will train individuals to <br /> increase employment, retention, earnings, skills and literacy; thereby improving the quality of the <br /> workforce, reducing welfare dependency and enhancing the productivity and competiveness of the <br /> local economy. <br /> The Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) requests that this bill be waived <br /> from the Finance Committee and be placed on the February 5 Council Agenda in order to have <br /> enough time to meet spending deadline criteria. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate <br /> to call Noel Fujimoto of the Office of Housing and Community Development at 961-8379. <br /> E6tfrA�., <br /> Nancy rawford <br /> Director of Finance <br /> Enc. <br /> cc: OHCD <br /> <?5‘k1 1$ > Comm.
