DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana (City) was designated as a Local Workforce Development Area by the State, pursuant to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Under WIOA, Local Workforce Development Areas, such as the City, receive formula allocations on an annual basis to operate job-training programs for adults, economically disadvantaged youth, and dislocated workers, and address the workforce needs of area businesses.
A new subgrant is required at the beginning of each fiscal year. Submittal of the subgrant agreement will enable the City to receive WIOA Youth Formula Funds. As in previous years, the State has provided a subgrant agreement for Program Year 2024-
25. Upon approval of the resolution (Exhibit 1) and execution of the subgrant agreement, the City’s Youth formula allocation is $770,569 (see Exhibit 2). The State has notified staff that the City’s Adult allocation will be $743,809 (see Exhibit 3, Round 1 - $146,227 and Round 2 - $597,582 combined Adult allocation) and $546,957 for

Dislocated Worker (see Exhibit 3, Round 1 - $117,906 and Round 2 - $429,051 combined Dislocated Worker allocation). Both allocations will be incorporated by a unilateral modification to the subgrant agreement at a later date.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. However, the adopted FY 2024-25 budget includes $870,470 in WIOA Youth grant funding (12318XXX-6XXXX). The actual WIOA Youth grant award of $770,569 will require budget adjustments to Administrative Costs (WDB Admin Salaries Regular, 12318748-61000, One Stop Admin Salaries Regular, 12318752-61000) and Program Expenses (WIOA Youth, 12318763-various) by $(9,990.10) and $(89,910.90), respectively. A staff report will be presented to the City Council in December 2024 to reduce grant expenditures of all WIOA programs.
