|
|
|
|
Recommendations for Council action:
- AUTHORIZE the extension of the WDB/LEO agreement from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 to continue the negotiations.
- INSTRUCT the CLA, with the assistance of the City Attorney, to amend the WDB/LEO Four-Year Agreement by incorporating the following provisions:
- "WDB Executive Director" shall mean the Chief Executive Officer of the WDB who is selected by the Mayor to provide policy advice to the WDB and to perform certain policy-related tasks under the supervision of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Administrator (Economic and Workforce Development Department [EWDD]) with daily consultation and support from the WDB President and the Mayor.
- "WDB Executive Staff' shall mean the WDB Executive Director and those City employees assigned to provide policy advice to the WDB and to perform certain policy-related tasks under the supervision of the WIOA Administrator (EWDD) with daily consultation and support from the WDB President and the Mayor.
- Should the need to collaborate with other local or regional boards arise, the WIOA Administrator (EWDD) shall report to the Economic Development and Jobs Committee (EDJC), or its successor, in order to receive guidance on how such collaboration shall take place. In the event there is insufficient time to obtain EDJC's guidance before making a decision on collaboration with other local or regional boards, the WIOA Administrator shall provide input to the WDB on behalf of EDJC and report the same to the EDJC at the next EDJC meeting. In cases where the EDJC's guidance conflicts with WDB's position and a compromise is not reached, the decision of the EDJC as represented by the WIOA Administrator, shall prevail.
- The Executive Committee shall be comprised of WDB Officers (i .e., the WDB Chair, the WDB Secretary, the WDB Treasurer, Vice Chairs/the Chairs of WDB Standing Committees) and a person designated by the City Council Chair of the EDJC. The WDB Chair shall have the authority to appoint up to 2 additional WDB members to the Executive Committee, subject to the approval of the full WDB, consistent with the current WDB Bylaws. No fewer than 50 percent plus one members of the Executive Committee shall be WDB representatives of private industry/business, as required by federal law.
- INSTRUCT the CLA, with the assistance of the City Attorney and the WIOA Administrative Entity, to review the WDB Bylaws and report to Council with recommendations to improve the representation and composition of the WDB membership, including the Youth Council, and ensure that the City and WDB are meeting the needs of job seekers and employers.
