A. Report from the WDB Executive Director

WDB Executive Director Yolanda Castro thanked Member Ayala for arranging the presentation on the 2020 Census held earlier in the day. Ms. Castro reported that the WDB had received notice from the state that proposed changes would merge some departments, which would have an impact on SELACO. Departments that SELACO is currently involved with include the State Workforce Development Board, the Employment Development Department Workforce Service Branch, the Employment Training Panel, and the Department of Industrial Relations Division of Apprenticeship Standards. She said staff will be attending a forum on the proposed changes. Ms. Castro reported that the WDB will elect officers at their July meeting. She said the WDB is initiating a new grant funded program to serve college graduates with disabilities. She said the goal is to serve 64 participants over two years. A primary target is high functioning autistic individuals. She said there would be both classroom and on the job training. Ms. Castro referred the Policy Board to the Meeting of the Minds Conference scheduled for Monterey on September 3-5. She said she is hoping to take two board members (preferably one each from the Policy Board and the Workforce Development Board) and two staff members.

B. Annual Appointments to the Workforce Development Board

The Policy Board Administrator advised the Policy Board of the WDB members whose terms would expire on June 30 and were eligible to be reappointed to new two-year terms. It was moved by Vice Chairman Santa Ines, seconded by Member Alvarado, to reappoint the following WDB members to new two-year terms expiring June 30, 2021: Bellflower Private Sector—Aaron Drake (USC University Police Department) Cerritos Private Sector—Dilip Butani (Butani Insurance) Downey Private Sector—Cristina Saucedo-Garcia (Kaiser Downey Medical Ctr) Hawaiian Gardens Private Sector—Liza Marie Gutierrez Lakewood Private Sector—Mark Dameron (Rotary Club of Lakewood)

Page 3 of 5

Norwalk Private Sector—Joseph Derthick (AFLAC) Educational Entity—Sharon Todd (Norwalk La Mirada Adult School) Public Employment Service—Julia Lugo (Employment Development Dept.) Labor Organization—Judith Rapue (CWA District 9) The motion was approved unanimously. The Policy Board Administrator reported that the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor had submitted nominations to fill the two current vacancies for WDB members representing organized labor. It was moved by Member Ayala, seconded by Member Trevino, to appoint Jackelyn Cornejo to a two-year term expiring June 30, 2021; and to appoint Isabela Valencia-Tevanyan to fill the remainder of the term which expires June 30, 2020. The motion was approved unanimously.

C. SELACO WDB Service Area Modification and Board Recertification Application and Update on the Potential Addition of the City of Paramount to the SELACO Joint Powers Authority

WDB Executive Director Yolanda Castro reported that the WDB had reviewed and approved the submission of the SELACO WDB Application for Subsequent Local Area Designation and Local Board Recertification for both an Existing Local Area and Modified Local Area (the latter of which would add the City of Paramount to the SELACO area). She said, if approved by the State, Paramount would be added to the SELACO service area as of July 1, 2020. It was moved by Vice Chairman Santa Ines, seconded by Member Pacheco, to support the SELACO WDB’s review and approval of the applications for both the certification of the existing SELACO Workforce Development Board and the Modification of the SELACO Service Delivery Area to include the City of Paramount. The motion was approved unanimously.

D. Board Review and Approval of the Los Angeles Basin Regional Planning Unit (LA Basin RPU) Regional Workforce Development Plan Modifications 2017-2021

SELACO WDB Executive Director Yolanda Castro reported that the WDB had approved and signed the LA Basin RPU Regional Plan and was requesting approval by the Policy Board. She said to ensure compliance with WIOA requirements the biennial update to the Regional Plan had been built to: 1) align, coordinate, and integrate reentry and workforce services to formerly incarcerated and other justice-involved individuals; 2) comply with state law relating to Multi-Craft Core Curriculum pre-apprenticeship partnerships; and 3) conduct a regional self-assessment using indicators of Regional Coordination and Alignment to determine Regional Plan implementation progress.

Page 4 of 5

It was moved by Member Trevino, seconded by Vice Chairman Santa Ines, to support the SELACO WDB’s approval of the LA Basin RPU Regional Plan. The motion was approved unanimously.

E. Approve MOU with AJCC Required Partners Executive Director Yolanda Castro reported that the SELACO WDB had reviewed and approved the MOUs with seven AJCC required partners: Field of Dreams; PAACE Consortium; Long Beach Job Corps Center; Department of Rehabilitation; Department of Public Social Services; Employment Development Department; and Norwalk Housing Authority. She explained that the WDB is required to review and update the MOUs with each partner every three years. She reviewed the modifications to the MOUs and asked for approval of the modifications. It was moved by Member Ayala, seconded by Member Pacheco, to approve the modifications to the seven partner MOUs. The motion was approved unanimously.

F. Authorization for the Executive Director to Participate in the California Apprenticeship Initiative as an Instructor

The Executive Director explained that she had been asked to assist in the teaching of two courses as a temporary instructor at California State University, Los Angeles, in support of a Workforce Development Apprenticeship program under the auspices of the California Workforce Association. She said it would be a paid position for a total of eight hours of work. She said most of the hours would be after regular SELACO work hours, but that she would use personal vacation time for any time that conflicted with her regular work schedule. She said she was bringing this item to the Policy Board in light of the WDB’s Policies and Procedures which state that staff should not be engaged in working for an organization that has a contractual relationship with the WDB which may present or be perceived as a conflict of interest. After discussion, the consensus of the Policy Board was that this temporary position did not present a true conflict of interest, but felt it should be reviewed by the General Counsel for confirmation that it did not present a conflict. It was moved by Vice Chairman Santa Ines, seconded by Member Ayala, to approve the Executive Director’s engagement as a temporary instructor at California State University, Long Beach, subject to approval by the General Counsel that it does present a conflict of interest. The motion was approved unanimously.

INFORMATION ITEMS The Executive Director referred the Policy Board to the letter from the California Workforce Development Board approving the SELACO WDB to continue to act as the WIOA service provider for the SELACO area through June 30, 2021.

INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE The Executive Director referred the Policy Board to the recent success story of a job seeker from Lakewood. ITEMS FROM STAFF There were no items from staff. BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS Member Trevino said he will be working on obtaining nominations to fill the two vacancies on the WDB for private sector representatives from the City of Artesia. Vice Chairman Santa Ines announced that the SteelCraft eatery had opened in Bellflower. Member Pacheco reported that she had attended that morning the Custody to Community transition program for women’s facility and would be connecting with the Executive Director regarding that program. Chairman Wood reported that he had flown to Sacramento and attended the swearing-in ceremony for the newly elected State Senator Lena Gonzalez. He also reported that Long Beach City College had its largest graduating class in history this year. ADJOURNMENT It was the consensus of the Policy Board to adjourn at 1:47 p.m.

Transitional Subsidized Employment (TSE) Program The TSE program is a program in collaboration with the South Bay Workforce Development Board that provides individuals the opportunity to gain the skills and hands on experience needed to transition into their next job and/or career. The program also gives companies a chance to give back to the community and provide opportunities for individuals to gain access into the workforce. SELACO WDB’s role in bridging the gap between both parties is to help meet employer’s workforce needs by providing qualified, pre-screened applicants.

Youth also work an average of 100 hours of work experience after the completion of the PET for a total of 120 hours of combined work preparation and work experience. Youth will also receive a monthly performance evaluation to better gage their individual strengths and weaknesses. Upon completion of the program, youth receive a certificate of Work Readiness.

Retention 0 0 ETP Business and Training Highlights: SELACO ETP Staff is continuing to work with several companies to build the potential ETP Training List for our New Agreement application. Businesses we are prospecting include: Westrock, Shaw Carpeting, Monogram AeroSpace, Spreckles, Utiliquest, Kroeger, Twin Eagles, General Mills, Kroeger, Muerlo Group, and Assoc. Ready Mix. ETP Portraits of Success: SELACO submitted its new ETP Application for funding in the 2019-2021 funding cycle. SELACO has applied for $750K in our New Agreement, which is the maximum we are allowed to apply for. To clarify, SELACO is also finishing its 2018-2020 contract early. The is overlap on our ETP contracts, and that allows us the maximum ability to always have funds available for companies. An early completion on our current contract (2018-2020) will allow us to earn our maximum allocation and proceed to a new contract, 9 months early. SELACO is showing a 99% final performance on revenue earned for the last two contracts we are closing. The State was very pleased to see SELACO's final performance numbers so high and has offered congratulations to SELACO for this final performance.

SELACO WDB’s total Operating Revenues for PY 2019-20 is reduced by a net of $387,291, which is 4.1% less compared to prior year budget approved on March 28, 2019. Detail breakdown of net decrease to total Operating Revenues is as followed:

which were completed in PY 2018/19: • #05. LA County – Earn & Learn Projects (+ $33,000) • #08. LA County – Probation Investment (- $200,000) completed • #09. LA County – System Involved Youth (- $33,000) • #10. LA RPU – Youth Referral System-P3 (- $44,374) • #11. LA RPU – Back on Track for Ex-Offenders-BOT ($70,994) • #12.

4) Total decrease of $208,189 is from the Employment Training Panel (ETP) grant,

which is due to reduction in funding allocations and changes to enrollment plans during the two-year term of agreement. ETP funding overlaps program years. Estimating actual funds per project years is based on overlapping contract.

• #04. Employment Training Panel-ETP ($208,189)

5) Total decrease of $16,096 is from the following small grants, two (2) of which have been completed in PY 2018/19:

Expenditures Total Expenditure Budget for PY 2019-20 is reduced by a net of $365,762, which is 4.1% less compared to prior year budget. Detail breakdown of net decrease to total Expenditure Budget is as followed:

1) The overall personnel cost is increased by $84,631, an increase of 3.2% compared to prior year budget. The increase is due to the net of annual step increases, elimination of the Deputy Director position in November, 2018, replacement of unfilled positions, and unanticipated medical leaves.

2) Non-personnel costs are decreased by $81,429, a 11.5% reduction compared to last year. These reductions are mainly due to completion of projects, completion of local and regional plan activities, savings from purchase of a new phone system, and completion of facility maintenance (re-carpeting and re-painting). Besides an increase of $7,071 in Rent costs due to a 4% annual increase, details of reduction are as followed:

• $2,000 in Mileage • $15,000 in Conferences/Staff Development • $10,000 in Telephone • $15,000 in Repair & Maintenance • $4,000 in Outreach/Recruitment • $5,000 in Supplies • $2,500 in Subscriptions/Dues/Memberships • $35,000 in Professional Services

Overall, the total In-House Costs Budget is increased by $3,202, which is the difference between the increase of $84,631 to total Personnel Costs and the decrease of $81,429 to total Non-Personnel Costs.

3) Total Training and Support Services is reduced by $368,964, a 6.7% reduction

compared to prior year budget.

Please refer to attached Proposed Expenditure Budget for each budget line item that resulted in an increase or decrease to the overall budget. Unobligated Balance

RE: Local Plan Modification

Dear Yolanda Castro:

The Local Plan Modifications submitted on behalf of the Southeast Los Angeles County Workforce Development Board (Local Board) have been reviewed and evaluated for compliance with the Regional and Local Plan Two-Year Modification requirements outlined in Workforce Services Directive WSD18-01.

On behalf of the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB), your Local Plan Modification has been approved. I want to thank you for your efforts to meet the goals outlined in the California Workforce Development Strategic Plan by facilitating a planning process that ensures greater coordination and collaboration with our strategic partners.

Below are the areas in which reviewers noted that your plan exceeded the minimum requirements:

CalFresh Employment and Training (E&T) Partnership: • Assessing the types of workforce services needed to help people receiving CalFresh

succeed in the regional and local labor market, including those services that are eligible for 50% federal reimbursement from CalFresh E&T.

• Describing the employment barriers experienced by people receiving CalFresh in your local area/region, including potential barriers faced by people with disabilities and resources that can be utilized to assist overcoming these barriers, including those resources eligible for 50% federal reimbursement from CalFresh E&T.

• Explaining current and prospective local partnerships, including partnerships with local workforce development boards, local Human Service Agencies, and other CalFresh E&T providers, including those that are eligible for 50% federal reimbursement from CalFresh E&T and describes the quality and level of intensity of services provided by these partners.

• Describing how local/regional partners will braid resources and coordinate service delivery to people receiving CalFresh, including by leveraging 50% federal reimbursement from CalFresh E&T for workforce services, sector pathway programs, supportive services, and retention efforts.

• Describing the types of workforce services available to people receiving CalFresh that are and can be funded by local/regional partners, the baseline level of services, and how

the local/regional plan will modify the types and quantity of workforce services provided to this population.

• Describing the role of local/regional partners in helping provide services to and

integrating people receiving CalFresh into sector pathway programs including participation in program development outreach, and the provision of specialized supportive services.

• Describing the process Local Boards and their partners will use to retain this population

in regional sector pathway programs as they progress into livable wage jobs and careers. Department of Child Support Services Partnership:

• Providing an overview of the size of the Child Support Program population in the local area including the following: an assessment of areas of high concentration, the percentage of noncustodial parents who are unemployed, the percentage of noncustodial parents who are ex-offenders, and to the extent feasible demographic information including race, ethnicity, gender, etc.

• Providing an assessment of the types of services needed for each targeted group challenged with meeting their parental responsibilities.

Rosalia Vazquez, South Gate Workforce Challenge: Even though Rosalia had a Masters degree in Social Work, a BA in Sociology and a minor in Psychology, she spent most of the last 7 years looking for work. She felt that her biggest challenge was her lack of experience and decided to look into training. The Department of Rehabilitation referred Rosalia to the Cerritos America’s Job Center of California (AJCC).

Workforce Solution: At the AJCC, SELACO Workforce Development Board provided funding for a 5 month Post Master of Social Work (MSW) Pupil Personnel Services Credentials (PPSC) Program at Cal State University Long Beach, which is a credential needed in the state of California. Rosalia completed the program in May of 2017. She continued to apply for jobs, attended interviews and took a temporary/seasonal position as a Customer Service Professional with H&R Block during tax season. She also attended the SELACO job search workshop series, participated in Job Club on Fridays, went to job fairs and met with her career counselor on a regular basis, but finding just the right job seemed always out of reach. Workforce Results: Rosalia continued her job search, sometimes being the first person to arrive at the AJCC even before the doors opened. She networked with others and spoke to many people about her employment goals. One day a friend referred her to an adult day health care center in Los Angeles. Finally, Rosalia was hired as a Medical Social Worker and says that the job duties and the part-time hours are exactly what she was hoping to find. Congratulations, Rosalia!
