B. Accepting and appropriating $100,000 from General Plastics to be used at WorkForce Central’s discretion in the support of its mission and local workforce development efforts. (Resolution No. 802) – Motion made by Eric Hahn, seconded by Joe Lonergan – Eric reported the funds are being repurposed from RallyPoint/6 and they have been notified and have decided not to respond. Approved.

VI. CEO REPORT A. ResCare WIA Youth Operator Update – they have set up their main office at REACH, they started

working with youth as of January 20, they have six staff and hired a Program Director, one of WFC employees; an operations supervisor, three talent development specialist, quality assurance administrator, and a business services specialist; 52 active youth transitioned, 193 youth to follow-up on, WFC staff is connecting them to the Bethel Family Center, and Orting Teen Center, there are 8 new enrollments, a few operational capacity issues. The Board has not heard from any of the former youth operators.

B. CEO Annual Performance Evaluation Process and Timeline – Cathy Journey, City of Tacoma - Cathy handed out the guidelines and timeline for review to agree on the process and the form will be emailed to the Board tomorrow, will continue to use the same form that has been being used, will look at other examples to use in the coming year. Each of the five areas has a comments box. Pat shared that the county HR dept held an employee survey with over 1000 employees responding, the goal is for each dept to take the information to look at areas were it falls low to make improvements – the performance evaluation tool is not liked by anyone, it doesn’t provide a lot of information, looking at new ways to do performance evaluations, improve the tools and the process. Cathy will also send last year’s evaluation to the Board. The Board will submit the evaluations to Cathy by March 20, as well as Linda’s self-evaluation, conduct the review on April 16, sign the following month. Pat suggested it would be helpful to have the dashboard of set goals and outcomes. Linda listed goals to focus on in the year but no measurements were created.

C. WIOA Transition Update a. WA State Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board Steering

Committee Local Elected Official Representatives Kenneth Dahlstedt, Skagit County Commissioner and David Condon, Mayor, City of Spokane

The state Workforce Training Education & Coordinating Board is the state workforce board designated by the Governor, the Steering Committee will oversee sub-committees for guidance and recommendations to transition from WIA to WIOA, the Steering Committee - Kenneth Dahlstedt & David Condon will represent the voices of local elected officials. They will work with Workforce Board staff to determine what to do at the state level, make recommendation for criteria for membership on the new WDC, certification of one-stop systems, regional planning. Each committee is chaired by labor and by business. How many provide direct services? Two areas of the law are contradictory, 1) WDC can do direct services, and 2) need to procure services. The challenge and conflict of interest has caused confusion by receiving the funding and providing the services – WDC’s who operate and administer services – Northwest WDC, North Central WA WDC, Eastern WA WDC, PacMtn WDC and WFC. It is highly probable that PacMtn will transition out of delivering services. Rick suggested scheduling 2-3 hour study session on what we do, where the authority comes from, what are we are doing, what we can do, and what we should do, a history of how agency evolved, who can provide better service. The agency has provided service since 1982. Manufacturing Academy came out as an initiative from WFC. The intent of the law is to be competitive. Boots2Work and Career Day have been generated in-house and would hate to lose innovation. We can have oversight in contract and technical assistance. Discuss issues around disallowed expenditures. Pat suggested that when events are held to use City of Tacoma Cheryl Comer for a legal review. Lunch at Career Day being challenged. This has been the 7th or 8th annual career day. It depends upon the compliance seat at ESD. Pat stated it is always good to have a legal opinion. Two attorneys work around WIA law - John Chamberlin on the west coast and Rochelle Daniels on the east coast. Mayor suggested submitting a list of planned events to ESD to request an opinion and sign off with their approval. Pat stated we have a new initiative with Manchester Bidwell, Bill Strickland – to state we are going in this direction and need to have an opinion on this. Given the scrutiny of this organization it would be good to have a legal opinion and can have on ESD letterhead that is was reviewed and approved. WFC has unencumbered funding which is where the General Plastics repurposed funding can be distributed and used. Eric will send a letter that the intent of the General Plastics funds are to be used for Manchester Bidwell.

D. U.S. Department of Labor Findings Update - two disallowed – lunch at Career Day for 2100 participants and Boots2Work – have paid back $15,000, but ESD states pay it all back and DOL concurs. We are not legally bound to pay allowed costs of $11,000 for event staff and facilities. Lunch at Career Day was $20,000 = $8.88 per person. The state auditor said it seemed reasonable and there was no finding, they agreed the baseball game tickets were disallowed as entertainment. Linda will be discussing with ESD. Pat stated to pay the funds for what we owe and attached letter from state auditor. Linda explained stand-in funding that is brought into the system to support WIA and young adults and can use as stand-in to pay back or use the unencumbered funds. The quarterly report to ESD shows stand-in funds to offset – it’s been spent for same purpose, give us the credit. Pat suggested doing it as clean as possible where

no one can dispute the money from discretionary funds – pay the $11,000 and call it good. We agree on the baseball tickets to pay $15,000, but they want another $11,000. There is about $500K in the discretionary funds. * Motion made by Pat McCarthy to allow the CEO to pay back any findings to DOL from two events called into question, seconded by Rick Talbert. Rick stated to pay it under protest, but pay it. Legal oversight in future would be beneficial. Next year present work plan this is what we are going to do. Mayor reiterated to submit an annual work plan, events plan to hold with source of funding and reference the law that states we can do this. WFC funding and cycle is convoluted. Pat’s frustration with DOL is the inference that we haven’t spent all of the money, the obligation at 80% over two year biennium. Eric supports reluctantly. Joe asked if we have insurance for this type of situation, WFC does not. Approved.

E. WA State Employment Security Department Recapture Decision Update – Feb 17 deadline to send response to January letter from Dale Peinecke of anything that is inaccurate, have not heard back on the recapture moving forward or not. ESD wants funds from PY13/FY14, last program year - July 1, 2013 – June 30, 2014, all of those funds have been obligated as of December 2014 and have a deadline to be spent down by end of June of this year – in compliance for expenditure. Pat asked how we would repay the $320,000? Linda stated its bookkeeping – you get an allocation and have two years to spend it, one year ends and you get another allocation, first in, first out. If the money was taken today, we would have less to spend out of grant until end of June 2015, expenses would be charged to new money for 2014-2015. The $320,000 would need to come out of existing or current year in the dislocated worker funding not at 80%. Letter to Governor – as of June 30, 2014 – adult is 82%, youth is 84%, dislocated worker at 62% - 80% is 16% = $320,000. There will then be less dislocated worker funding to spend this year and will look like we spent $320K more this year. Spend down every two years – spend down by this June – the quarterly report shows we are at 100%, half way through two year need to be obligated by 80%, didn’t make Dec 31, 2014 obligation. We will have $320K less this current year. Future – obligation requirement for PY14/FY15 to be at 80% or greater – to spend by June 30, 2016. By June we will have an additional $676K in staff payroll and operation costs that cannot be used as obligation but will be counted by June 30 at the end of each year. Obligation has two data sets - expenditure and contracts. We cannot use our lease as obligation because we have an out clause with 30 days notice. DOL governs how the obligation is reported. Common structure is to contract everything out. Eric stated he had a discussion with Congressmen Derek Kilmer and Denny Heck, they are optimistic that something will work out. Mayor talked to Joby, try to do something, this is an accounting and bookkeeping issue. Denny Heck upset about types of attacks and he fully supports Linda and activities. Good to disclose to advisory body, the WDC to keep them informed. It is an insinuation that the Board is not engaged; the county and city both offered a line of credit. There are businesses and EDB speaking highly on our behalf.

F. PY15/FY16 Budget Deliberation – defer to next month a. Key elements of our workforce service delivery system review b. Investment priorities/philosophy

G. Pew Charitable Trusts Convening mtg in Washington DC – 16-24 year old focus – Linda & Eric invited with other workforce leaders, policy making, and better outcomes for 16-24 year olds.

IX. ADJOURN – There being no further business before the Board, motion made by Pat McCarthy, seconded by Joe Lonergan to adjourn. Adjourned at 9:53 p.m.

WorkForce Central 3650 S. Cedar St. Tacoma

Classroom 1 or

Conference Line – 253-343-9013, passcode 8703# Mayor Strickland presiding

Attendees: Mayor Strickland, Rick Talbert, Eric Hahn by phone, Linda Nguyen, Pamela Carter

I. CALL TO ORDER at 3:30 p.m. by Mayor Strickland II. PUBLIC COMMENT - None III. CONSENT AGENDA - None IV. REGULAR AGENDA

A. Discuss Employment Security Department recapture decision and expectations – received a letter from ESD on Monday with a lengthy description of specific steps to avoid recapture of $320,385.00 – make a decision:

1. How to respond 2. How to proceed moving forward

Joe Lonergan responded, if we can keep $320,000 isn’t it worth a little effort but after reviewing the deadlines and timelines – there is no way to do it well in two weeks by March 16

Creation of sub-committee of WDC – already spent time setting up committees for appropriate people doing appropriate things to further the mission of the WDC

Eric Hahn agreed and stated it is a set-up for many reasons and it’s an arbitrary date – we have until the end of June to meet the expectations of the spending obligation. Dale Peinecke believes that he singled handily financially stabilized the Snohomish County WIB. Since these discussions started, in private, Dale has been pushing Eric to investigate WFC operation to discover wrong doings and take appropriate action. Eric’s response is that is inappropriate and there is no malfeasance. Getting the WDC involved sets-up a situation – the sub-committee would have union members on it. This is needless oversight which would incorporate people who would not understand the intricacies of WFC and the requirements under WIA. This usurps the authority of the Board / local officials opening the door for intervention by ESD. Mayor Strickland – establish a fiscal performance committee – can set-up one of the Executive Board. The question is two-fold: 1) We agree that March 16, 2015 is an unrealistic goal to accomplish everything 2) Fiscal performance committee – challenge is it already takes 3 members for a quorum – would

that create a committee of 2? And would need special meetings of the Board on a regular basis. Two options: 1) We have the choice to push back on the date to retain the $320,000 and figure path forward without $300K, 2) Trying to obligate funds in two weeks isn’t the correct way to obligate – it’s not responsible or prudent. Third option – to go public – what does that mean? Is the $320K worth fighting for, will we be setting a dangerous precedent. Going public to make case may be good explaining why we were fiscally conservative due to sequestration and now being punished for it.


The deadline should be set for end of June 2015 instead of March 16, 2015. We can form a fiscal responsibility committee of 2 Board members. The point of the letter to submit a plan approved by the full Board to ESD assuring to exceed the 80% obligation – the law is to meet 80%, not exceed 80%. Also going public is an opportunity to explain how we obligate funds and how we are challenged as the funds are not obligated to contract employees until June 30 when payroll is made. We continue to do the work with our own employees; therefore the money does not appear to be obligated. They also don’t see the tuition for training and support services until it’s expended. Mayor – what is going to be the response to ESD and how to do it so the public will understand based upon the complexities?

1. We can obligate this by June – that’s the law 2. Will consider doing a fiscal performance committee of the Executive Board

Eric – part of the education is to respond using the law – the letter serves as evidence that could be published in the newspaper. Mayor – what is cost per person? ESD is looking at expenses and how many enrollees in database system. We invest in business services to help people get jobs, these numbers are not included. Our response can be - here are our numbers due to what we provide and not trying to gain the system to get points. ESD wants the PY15/FY16 budget done by March 16, 2015 – process to complete budget process and approve is not done until June 30, 2015 of next year’s funding. We will respond to be obligated at 80% by June 30. Why is he asking for 60% now? Because we are so far behind, to be assured by March 16 to make the 80% or more. An obligation rate has two data points: money already spent plus commitments (obligations). John Chamberlain – attorney with WIA knowledge, recommends counting them all, reporting all so the numbers don’t look skewed which isn’t reasonable or feasible. ESD has the numbers we spend and numbers we serve. It would require enrolling all served in the database system. It’s comparing different investment methodology. We invest that translates to jobs and helping businesses that don’t relate to direct enrollments into the state system. We will explain why our numbers look different. ESD wants us to do the traditional route, which takes away our authority to invest in business services and strategies i.e. career fairs, being innovative. RESPONSE: #1 – we can obligate 80% by June 30, 2015 – per the law. #2 – we will pass the next year’s budget by June 30, 2015 – no one else required to have plan in place by March 16. #3 – explain why the numbers look different and there is no malfeasance. #4 – establish committee among the Executive Board of 2 members – ESD telling us how to set up governance structure – technically speaking the Executive Board is the fiscal committee – have fiduciary responsibility – we don’t need a fiscal performance committee – Eric is already the bridge between the Board and the WDC. Eric has been in contact with Congressmen Denny Heck and Derek Kilmer; both are upset and have spoken with the Governor. They want the outcome of this meeting communicated to them. These are federal funds designed to help people in the district. Other concerns of ESD encroaching on local elected official’s authority and how to invest funds locally, how to structure local area and WDC’s. State in the letter - future failure to meet obligation will have an automatic recapture of unobligated funds – the law states it is not automatic, that the Governor has discretion. Rick stated to respond in a professional and simple way and thank you. Also cc Denny Heck, Derek Kilmer and the Governor. Joe’s one concern – they could recapture the funds – will we have the funds to do what we need to do. We will have obligated by the June 30th deadline, no issue, spell out our plan, fully obligated 100% by December 2014, this June will be at 80% or more. A recapture would come out of PY13/FY14 year.


Mayor stated this is not a desire to solve a problem. Linda will draft a response to be signed by Mayor and Pat McCarthy. Next meeting is March 19 – should know if this threat is real. Follow-up with Denny Heck and Derek Kilmer. The bottom line is we were being fiscally conservative and did not close down and both the county and the city put forward a potential line of credit in anticipation of sequestration. WFC is a low risk auditee with the State Auditor’s office every year for consecutive years – add to response. Be ready with outcome and a press strategy ready.

V. OTHER BUSINESS VI. ADJOURN – There being no further business before the Board, motion made by Joe Lonergan,

seconded by Eric Hahn to adjourn. Approved. Adjourned at 4:20 p.m.
