NoRTEC
ADDITIONAL ITEM ON THE WIB AND GOVERNING BOARD AGENDA
THURSDAY, JULY 28, 2005
(This item will be added to the agenda at the meeting.)

PLAN MODIFICATION (ACTION)

NoRTEC submitted the original five year WIA plan in April 2000, for the period July 1, 2000, through June 30, 2005. This plan, originally meant to cover a five year period, has been granted a one year extension by the California Workforce Investment Board, pending WIA reauthorization legislation.

Each year during the planning cycle, the NoRTEC plan is "modified" to incorporate new funding levels for the upcoming program year, and to plan services to clients and employers in our nine county area. As part of the modification process, NoRTEC's local programs advertise and hold public meetings to discuss their local areas plans for WIA funding, and allow for a 30 day comment period. No public comments were received as a result of their local meetings.

The final step in the plan modification process is to obtain WIB and Governing Board approval.

The plan modification for Program Year 2005/2006 can be accessed by going to the NoRTEC home page (http://ncen.org), selecting the Green Orientation button, the Workforce Investment Act folder, the NoRTEC Plan folder, and (finally) the Sixth Year Mod folder.

Recommended Action:

WIB approval of the Program Year 2005/2006 plan modification.

Governing Board approval of the Program Year 2005/2006 plan modification.
