Re: Operating Budget
Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending 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 from the Department of
Labor and Industrial Relations for the Program Year(PY) 2014. 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.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Noel Fujimoto of the Office of Housing
and Community Development at 961-8379.
