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. The Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) requests that this bill be waived from the Finance Committee and be placed on the February 5 Council Agenda in order to have enough time to meet spending deadline criteria.
