Item 3

Resolution Authorizing an Increase to the Workforce Development Department’s Budget and the Receipt of New Grant Funding (David Setzer)

Additional Workforce carry over funds available for FY 2015 expenditures have been identified
and total approximately $1.32 million. These funds are over and above what was previously
estimated during the FY 2015 budget process and are mainly attributable to the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) and Child Care funding sources.
The Workforce Board has also been notified by the Texas Workforce Commission that it has been
selected to receive additional funding from a new grant referred to as the Long-Term Unemployed Initiative. The grant amount is projected to total $109,000 and is primarily designated to serve the Workforce Board area’s long-term unemployed. The grant does allow the flexibility to utilize the funding to enhance customer outreach capacity via technology upgrades within the workforce outreach programs.
The Workforce staff propose utilizing a portion of the additional carry over funds plus the projected additional funds from the Long-Term Unemployed Initiative to increase the Workforce Board’s Budget by an amount totaling $575,000. The additional budget funds are projected to be utilized to complete projects designed to improve customer outreach effectiveness and workforce center workflow efficiencies. Any unused portion of the carry over funding will be reviewed by appropriate staff and future resolutions to the NCTCOG Executive Committee could possibly be required.
A budget amendment will be presented to the Workforce Board’s Oversight and Accountability
subcommittee and the full Workforce Board for their approval prior to the January NCTCOG
Executive Committee meeting.
A draft resolution authorizing the increase in the FY 2015 Budget for Workforce funded activities and receipt of new grant funding is attached for Executive Board consideration. I will provide a brief presentation of this item and will be available to answer any questions prior to requesting Board approval.
