4 Santa Barbara County WDB Board Meeting Minutes June 8, 2018 Page 2 V. Agenda Items: A. Old Business 1. Approval of February 23, 2018 minutes No approval due to lack of quorum. New Business 1. Information Items a. Director s Update: Mr. McDonald stated that due to lack of a quorum that the Bylaws Amendment would have to wait until we have enough members for the required two-thirds vote. In addition, County Counsel, Paul Lee, advised that we can t discuss the action items due to lack of quorum. The Executive Committee will have to approve the items due in June to the State at a special meeting in the next week. b. Report out from Board Committees None received Presentations: Josh Williams of BW Research presented the results of the 2018 Workforce Study: 1. Mr. Williams said their research showed that Santa Barbara County is a good place to have a business but that it is not a good place to start a new business. In addition, growing a business in Santa Barbara County is challenging. Less than a third (31%) of businesses in the North region rated the county as an excellent or good place to start a new business (35% average) Over half of the businesses in the North region (55%) rated the county as an excellent or good place to do business (61% average). Over two-in-five (43%) businesses in the South region rated the county as an excellent or good place to start a new business (35% average) Over seven-in-ten (72%) businesses in the South region rated the county as an excellent or good place to do business (61% average) Job Quality is important in both Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. The challenge for job seekers is finding employment where they can afford to live. Tier 3 jobs cannot afford to live in Santa Barbara County.

5 Santa Barbara County WDB Board Meeting Minutes June 8, 2018 Page 3 Occupational Tiers are as follows: Tier 1 Professional & highly-skilled technical positions Median wage: $91,478 a year in Santa Barbara County Education: 4-year degree or more Tier 2 Office & administrative, operations and production, sales and teaching positions Median wage: $48,278 a year in Santa Barbara County Education: More than HS degree less than 4 year degree Tier 3 Food service, retail, cleaning, personal care and security guard positions Median wage: $25,801 a year in Santa Barbara County Education: HS degree or less Mr. Williams reported that 4 years ago 80% of the employment was in Tier 2 and today it is 35%. Tier 3 is relatively unchanged due to the fact that most of the Central Coast Tier 3 employment consists of agricultural and tourism employment. The average living wage in Santa Barbara County is $64, 214 with the State of California at $78,170 and the United States at $66,139. Santa Barbara Industry Clusters Employment: Food & Beverage 11% Healthcare 9% Tourism & Hospitality 8% Building & Design 6% Business Services 5% Information & Communications 4% Biotechnology & related devices 2% Aerospace & Defense 2% Energy & Environment 1% Santa Barbara Targeted Industry Clusters Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Biotechnology & related devices 36% 26% 38% Information & Communication Technology 62% 23% 15% Healthcare 31% 29% 40% Education in Santa Barbara County: In the South region, the percentage of those who hold a bachelor s degree or higher (46%) is more than double that of the North region (16%) and nearly double that of the Central region (24%). The ability to write will be a valuable asset for future employment.

17 WDB M E M O R A N D U M Date: October 26, 2018 To: From: Workforce Development Board Raymond L. McDonald Subject: PY WIOA Budget Recommendation: It is recommended that the Workforce Development Board approve the Program Year budget. Background: The Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires that the local Workforce Development Board (WDB) approve an annual budget. In Santa Barbara County the procedure is for the WIOA budget to first be approved as part of the Grant Recipient (Department of Social Services/DSS) budget by the County Board of Supervisors during June Budget Hearings; and then approved by the WDB at the October meeting. It should be remembered that by having an October WDB approval date, it allows for any final adjustments that may occur in Washington D.C. (including last minute recessions, or government shut-downs) to be taken into account. Discussion: The WDB budget is attached to this memo and will be reviewed with the Board by the Executive Director, before its official adoption via a public vote. The budget is comprised of the annual allocations in the four funding streams: adult, dislocated worker, youth, and Rapid Response/Business Services. In addition this year s budget contains funding for two discretionary grants: one directly from the U.S. Department of Labor to support a special youth, antigang violence project for the City of Santa Maria. And the second grant is from the State to provide limited-term workers to repair and clean-up after the 2017 Thomas Fire/Debris Flow. Finally, our WDB has received funding to support State-initiatives around regional workforce collaboration. The total budget for the WDB, from all sources, is: $6,814, East Ortega Street Santa Barbara, CA

19 WDB M E M O R A N D U M Date: October 26, 2018 To: From: Subject: Workforce Development Board Raymond L. McDonald PY Budget Request: Prioritization for & Proposed Use of One-Time Funding Recommendation: It is recommended that the Workforce Development Board approve the staff plan for use of Program Year One-Time Funding. Background: Like most government programs, the Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) annual budget often has a surplus at the end of the program year. While some of the surplus is intentionally planned for, in order to provide bridge money during the first quarter before the full Federal Budget kicks-in; there are un-anticipated funds carried-forward into the next program/budget year. Reasons for the un-intended surplus are: participants who completed training early, resulting in non-use of allocated training funds; delays in staff hiring or individual project start-ups, which reduces line-item expenditures from plan; and, lower than expected enrollments into training causing us to have unspent funds in our State-mandated training line item. In preparing the PY budget all of the above factored into providing us with a $627,327 surplus: $416,801 of Adult and Dislocated Worker funds (that can be used together); and $210,526 of Youth funds. Again, since these are fund balance, they can be used for one-time only activities. Discussion: As your Board is aware, we have executed multiple year contracts with KRA and PathPoint but have always kept them on a one-year budget; that allowed for the recapture of unspent funds annually. In preparation for this program year s budget, WDB staff worked with the Performance, Youth, and Executive Committee to develop options for one-time use of funds, and to prioritize those options. These discussions prioritized as the target groups to be served: homeless and military veteran adults; and Foster Youth and juvenile justice-involved from the youth population. 130 East Ortega Street Santa Barbara, CA

20 In addition, we discussed various program design options that we had learned about through other workforce agencies around the state and nation (often presented at statewide workforce conferences). In the end, we decided that we wanted to use a public service transitional model for the adult program; and a work experience model for the Foster Care Youth, and youth from Los Prietos Boys Camp. It should be noted that public/community service had a successful experience with the ARRA-funded Youth Corps throughout the county from 2009 thru 2012; and the Youth Committee had long wanted to re-establish workforce program activities with Los Prietos, since Finally, the homeless service organization, PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) had recently reached out to the WDB staff to discuss ways in which we could better serve this most-in-need community. Moving forward, the WDB staff has already connected with the target group providers (County Probation, County Foster Care, PATH, and United Way) and is developing referral procedures. At the same time, and in order to meet a January 2019 start date, we have developed procurement & funding mechanism to meet County and Federal guidance, but are expeditious. Attached to this memo are the program designs for both programs. In conclusion, there will be no additional WDB staff costs, and $325,951 of the $416,801 in adult funds will go to participant wages & supportive services; while $160,115 of the $210,526 in Youth funds will go to youth in wages & support. 130 East Ortega Street Santa Barbara, CA
