President’s Briefing Authorization of Contracts, Partnerships, and Agreements FY14 ResCare Workforce Services Amendment Following a review of workforce funds, additional dollars are available to add to ResCare’s existing contract. Staff recommends amending the FY14 contract based upon lapsed and additional grant funds received from the Texas Workforce Commission. It was recommended that the Board give authorization to amend the existing FY14 ResCare contract with additional funds at cost not to exceed $1,556,558 in additional resources and $1,474,571 in TAA training resources. WIA Summer Youth Funds are available to offer an improved summer youth program through our existing youth contractors, ResCare Workforce Services and SER– Jobs for Progress National. Beginning as early as March 2014, work experience opportunities will be conducted for up to eight weeks. These figures may be modified as necessary depending on need, prevailing wage and turnover. The additional WIA youth funds will cover operational costs, wages, and support services as follows:

$1,800,000 contracted to Rescare for 800 $50,000 contracted to SER for 25 $200,000 (monitoring, external professional services and administrative costs).

It was recommended that the Board give authorization to amend the existing FY14 youth contracts as described. JobView Kiosks Renewal Since 2008, WFSDallas has offered a unique service to the community with the availability of JobView kiosks. Job seekers have job search tools that allow them to apply directly to hiring companies. Currently, seven locations within the Dallas County offer kiosks which include: Grand Prairie Public Library, Mesquite Public Library, Farmers Branch Public Library, West Dallas Multipurpose Center, Dallas Urban League, DeSoto Public Library and Hutchins Halfway House. In 2013, 9,269 job seekers used the JobView kiosks throughout Dallas County. Staff recommends continuing the JobView Kiosks for another year at the unchanged rate. It was recommended that the Board give authorization to enter into a one year contract at the unchanged 2013 rate of $4,800 per kiosk for seven (7) kiosks at $33,600. President Laurie Larrea stated that the Board will work with the Mayor’s office and the Public Library system to provide online financial counseling through Dollar Wise. Cathy Kusaka Fraser made the motion to accept the above recommendations with Ellen Torbert seconding. The motion passed. B. Leases We have a variety of extensions and amendments to existing lease space to consider. The staff and attorney recommend the following: One Main Place – Board Administrative Offices – Extension of Time, our broker, Josh White, CBRE, has successfully negotiated a one-year extension of time for our existing board staff offices. The building is going through transition, and a long-term lease would not be in our best interest. The proposed extension is at the same terms and conditions as the existing lease - $13+E. We have been at One Main Place since fall of 1996. CitySquare – Opportunity Center – Amendment to Lease CitySquare proposed one additional element to the lease approved by the Board at our October 16th meeting. This issue was negotiated and reviewed by Board attorney. The amendment is to recognize the costs of customization of our suite, the possibility for early termination and settlement of build-out costs at that time. The landlord has recognized our required early termination clause, with the follow caveat: in the event we properly notify the landlord of reduced funding and give a six-month notice, we will not be liable for the remainder of the term, but agree to pay any amortized and unpaid tenant improvement costs. MLK- City of Dallas - Extension of Month-to-Month Leasing, the City of Dallas has requested a renewal of our existing month-to-month lease at the Martin Luther King Center, 2922 MLK, Jr. Blvd., Room 104, 2,710 sq.ft. for $2,448.65 monthly. This represents no change in the lease arrangement. John C. Dickey, Board attorney has reviewed. We anticipate moving the customer service operations to the City Square Opportunity Center during February, but retaining this space to be repurposed for administrative functions. Chair Patrick Aulson suggested adding the following: Any amendments to the CitySquare lease will be subject to the approval of President Laurie Bouillion Larrea and Attorney John Dickey.

It was recommended that the Board give authorization to sign the three lease amendments/extensions as described above with Chair Aulson’s amendment. Julie Bugala made the motion to accept the above recommendations with Lee Ann Valerio seconding. The motion passed with Gilbert Gerst abstaining from business related to CitySquare. Closed Session Consultation with Attorney; Closed Meeting Pursuant to §551.071 Texas Open Meetings Act No matters for discussion. General Discussion/Other Business - None The meeting adjourned at 10:04 a.m.

President’s Briefing – Item A Authorization of Contracts, Partnerships and Agreements

I. FY14 ChildCareGroup Contract Amendment A contract amendment is necessary to add lapsed funds for direct care services and additional staffing needs. An amendment to the existing FY14 contract consists of the following: $4,000,000 for direct care services*; and $300,000 for operational costs.

*$2,000,000 within the awarded direct care will be spent in the month of October unless otherwise negotiated.

II. Request for Qualifications (RFQ) – Child Care Quality On January 28, 2014, Workforce Solutions Greater Dallas released an RFQ for Child Care Professional Development and Training Services. The RFQ requires that these services be delivered throughout the Dallas County area to enhance the skills and knowledge of child care providers, directors and employees to assist in the improvement of quality child care services. The deadline for submission of proposals is February 18, 2014. A handout of procurement evaluation results will be provided at the meeting. III. Special Initiative – “Work College” Work Experience The vision of the Paul Quinn College Work College Program is to transform ability into action and potential into achievement by encouraging all students to embrace the ideals of disciplined work, servant leadership, and initiative in preparation for lives of financial freedom, community engagement, and absolute integrity. The Paul Quinn College Work College Program is one component of an innovative educational model committed to the education of the “whole student.” The goal is to create a continuous learning environment in which students’ education begins in the classroom, but reaches beyond four walls to every aspect of campus life and culture. Students are encouraged to actively participate in their learning experiences, to serve each other and their community, and to make no small plans for their futures. The Program enables students to excel in all of these areas while working towards reducing their educational debt.

Recommendation: Board authorization to amend the existing FY14 ChildCareGroup contract with additional funds in the amount of $4,300,000 as presented above.

President’s Briefing Item—C Legislative Updates

2014 Omnibus Package In January, the House took the lead in passing a $1.012 trillion omnibus budget package closely followed by Senate. The package, which adheres to the new two-year spending cap levels enacted in the Bi-partisan Budget Act approved last December, sets top-line spending figures for FY14 and FY15. The bill provides $12 billion for the Department of Labor, a cut of $449 million below the FY13 enacted level. The Workforce Investment Act programs, however, received a funding increase of about 5% from FY13 sequestration levels and the state allocation was also increased to 8.75% from 5%. The bill will allow for the transfer of up to 30% between WIA Adult and WIA Dislocated Worker Funds, up from 20%. (Other areas of interest are listed at the end of this briefing item.) Workforce and the State of the Union Address During the State of the Union address in January, President Obama asked Vice President Biden to take the lead in working with White House policy councils, as well as, the Secretaries of Labor, Commerce and Education, to engage in discussions with business and labor leaders, educators, Mayors and Governors, and Democratic and Republican congressional officials. The focus of these consultations will be on best practices for ensuring that the nation’s workforce training system is more driven by employer needs so workers can be placed in high-quality jobs. He also emphasized the importance of building partnerships between businesses and community colleges so that as industries’ skill needs change, community colleges can adapt. Ready To Work Partnerships In January, President Obama also met with CEOs whose companies have agreed to take steps to help the long-term unemployed. During that meeting, the President announced the Long-term Unemployed H-1B Ready To Work Partnerships grant program (Ready to Work). The grant will utilize approximately $150 million in revenues from the H-1B visa program to support high performing partnerships between employers, non-profit organizations and America's public workforce system with the goal of providing long-term unemployed individuals with the range of services, training, and access they need to fill middle and high-skill jobs. The Department expects that a solicitation for applications for these grants will be available in February and awards will be made in mid-2014. The Ready to Work grants will reward partnerships that focus on reemploying long-term unemployed workers; use work-based training models such as On-the-Job Training (OJT), paid work experience, paid internships and registered apprenticeships; and, include employer engagement and support in program design. Department of Labor Nomination

In December, President Obama nominated Portia Y. Wu for Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training Administration, Department of Labor. Portia Y. Wu currently serves as Special Assistant to the President for Labor and Workforce Policy at the White House Domestic Policy Council (DPC) and has served as the Senior Policy Advisor for Mobility and Opportunity at DPC. Prior to joining the Administration, Ms. Wu worked at the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee. If approved, Ms. Wu would replace Jane Oates.

Higher Education and Workforce Training Subcommittee Hearing Chaired by Rep. Virginia Fox, the House Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Training, held a hearing entitled, “Keeping College Within Reach: Sharing Best Practices for Serving Low-Income and First Generation Students.” During the hearing, members learned about institutional efforts to better serve disadvantaged students, while also exploring opportunities to strengthen related federal programs and initiatives.

30

2014 Omnibus Budget Appropriations – Other Workforce Related Programs Head Start – received $8.6 billion, a $1.025 billion increase, which provides comprehensive early childhood services to children and families from before birth through age five. This increase restores cuts from sequestration and on top of that supports an approximately 1.3% cost of living adjustment for all current grantees. The increase for Head Start includes $500 million to expand Early Head Start, for children and families from before birth through age 3, including the establishment of new Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships. This increase will provide high quality Early Head Start services to approximately 40,000 additional children, a more than one-third increase. Child Care and Development Block Grant – Received $2.36 billion, which provides grants to states for child care assistance to working families, and to otherwise improve the quality of child care programs. This is a $154 million increase over the fiscal year 2013. Economic Development Assistance Program – was funded at $247 million, $28 million above the fiscal year 2013 sequester level. Economic Development Assistance Programs are funded at $210 million, including $10 million for the Regional Innovation Program. This level of funding should allow EDA to help more than 100 communities plan regional strategies for long-term growth, leverage billions in private investment, and generate thousands of jobs. Small Business Administration – To ensure that small businesses have access to credit and critical technical assistance, the bill includes $929 million for the SBA. The bill also provides $196 million for entrepreneurial development grants that provide technical assistance, training, and business planning guidance for starting and growing small businesses. Veterans Employment and Training - received $270 million, an increase of $19 million, to expand employment services to transitioning service members, veterans with disabilities, and their spouses and caregivers. Unemployment Insurance (UI) Program Integrity – funding includes a minimum of $80 million, an increase of $16 million, to conduct reemployment and eligibility assessments and UI improper payment reviews. This level is projected to save State UI trust funds an estimated $315 million by helping claimants exit the UI program faster and avoid exhausting their benefits.
