STATE-LEVEL MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
for LOUISIANA’S ONE-STOP
SYSTEM
“The dogmas of the quiet past are
inadequate to the stormy present the occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must
rise to the occasion. As
our case is new, so we must
think anew and act anew.”
Abraham Lincoln, Second Annual
Message to Congress, December1, 1862
Signed
February 3, 2000
By
Louisiana Department of Labor
Louisiana Department of Social Services
Louisiana Department of Education
Louisiana Community and Technical College
System
Louisiana Division of Administration
Louisiana Workforce Commission
Foreword
“Over the next four years, we will leave
no opportunity unexplored, no possibility untapped and no event unattended in our effort
to move our state into those endeavors that add value to products and create jobs and wealth for our
people... We do not have much time. If we, as a people, do not seize this moment, I am
afraid Louisiana will forever be a state that simply didn’t make it. We simply cannot
allow this to happen. Together, if you’ll help me, we will not let this happen.
Governor M.J. “Mike” Foster,
Inaugural Address, January 10, 2000
This is an important and exciting time in
Louisiana. In the first few days of the millennium, Governor Foster exhorted
Louisiana’s citizens to take bold steps that would finally and fundamentally change
Louisiana. This State-Level Memorandum of Understanding for the One-Stop Service Delivery
System is one of those bold steps. This document reflects the hard work of the Louisiana
Department of Labor, Department of Education, Department of Social Services, Community and
Technical College System, Division of Administration, and the Workforce Commission.
These agencies have made substantial
commitments to the success of an emerging One-stop system for Louisiana. For the past few
years, the Department of Labor has worked to provide significant leadership in this area
and continues to retool and reinvigorate its programs to meet the needs of Louisiana
citizens. In many local communities throughout the State, there is a viable One-Stop
foundation to build on due to the Department’s efforts.
Yet, there is still much work to be done. In
order for this document to have a real and lasting impact, a strong partnership between
these state agencies and local communities must take place. This document does not promise
easy solutions or guarantee problem-free Workforce Investment Act implementation. What it
provides is a framework of commitments and guidance upon which local Workforce Investment
Boards can build their local vision for success.
The document outlines the commitments of
state-level partners and the designated persons that local Workforce Investment Boards can
contact to negotiate their local Memoranda of Understanding. But more importantly, it
provides a model worthy of emulation. The Governor’s Cabinet Secretaries and State
Agency Heads have come to the table, worked through gridlock at times, and made strong
commitments to creating a better future for all Louisiana citizens through the One-Stop
system.
We hope that local Workforce Investment
Boards will endeavor to do the same. Louisiana’s leadership simply believes that
“working together works.” As Governor Foster led us into this new century with
an exhortation to “leave no citizen behind,” so we exhort you to help us achieve
his vision.
The Louisiana Workforce Commission

STATE-LEVEL MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING for
LOUISIANA‘S ONE —STOP
SYSTEM
I. BACKGROUND: The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) creates the
opportunity for new and innovative approaches to workforce development in Louisiana. WIA
offers the opportunity for significant change and unprecedented cooperation between the
public and private sectors that support Louisiana's workforce development and growth. The
WIA paves the way for an improved workforce development system by:
· Increasing
the level of responsiveness to labor market needs and demands of industry customers;
· Improving
comprehensive services to job-seeking customers and employers that are linked to the
specific demands of an area;
· Integrating
workforce development programs and funding streams;
· Improving
communication, interaction, and integration of workforce, community, and economic
development organizations; and
· Increasing
planning, strategizing, and leveraging of resources between education, labor, economic
development and workforce development interests.
Successful implementation of the WIA hinges on
a renewed commitment to Louisiana businesses needing workers and to Louisiana citizens
needing workforce education and training. To support this effort, the Louisiana Workforce
Commission serves as the catalyst in coordinating and aligning state workforce investment
policies and programs. The Commission, created by Act I of the 1997 Louisiana Legislature
(LRS 23:207 1), serves as Governor Foster’s review and policy-making body for all
issues relating to workforce education and training within the state.
In October 1998, the Commission convened a state-level interagency team, headed by the
cabinet secretaries of Labor, Social Services, Education, the Board of Regents, and Public
Safety and Corrections, to develop a unified state plan for Louisiana’s emerging
workforce development system. The state plan included Title I (JTPA and Wagner-Peyser),
Title II (Adult Education and Family Literacy), Title IV (Vocational Rehabilitation), and
the Carl E. Perkins Act (Secondary and Post-secondary Vocational Education). In April
1999, the unified state plan was submitted to the U. S. Departments of Education (USDOE)
and Labor (USDOL) for review and approval. The unified plan was approved by USDOE and
USDOL for early implementation on July 1, 1999 and subsequent full implementation on July
1, 2000.
The Workforce Investment Act mandates that
each local area establish a “one-stop delivery system in which the core
employment-related services authorized by the Act and access to other employment and
training services are provided. The access to these services must be provided in not less
than one physical one-stop workforce center in each local area, which may be supplemented
by networks of affiliated sites.”
II. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to identify and coordinate a myriad of
workforce development resources to create a seamless, customer-friendly system that
addresses the needs of Louisiana’s employers and jobseekers by offering a variety of
education, job training, and human services. This Memorandum of Understanding establishes
commitments, shared values, joint processes and procedures that will enable state-level
One-Stop program partners to integrate core, intensive, and training services into a
locally-operated service delivery system. It will define services and financial
commitments, which are a part of this Memorandum by addendum.
At its core, this Memorandum of
Understanding is a commitment made by state-level partners to work with local-level
partners to support extensive collaboration, planning, and community building, achieving
increased levels of access to high-quality and lifelong workforce education and training
opportunities in Louisiana.
III. PARTIES:
Parties to this Memorandum of Understanding include —
A. The
Louisiana Department of Labor,
the state agency responsible for the delivery of Wagner-Peyser programs (state employment
service), Veterans Employment Programs, Migrant and Seasonal Farm Worker programs, Trade
Adjustment Assistance, NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance, Unemployment Insurance
Programs (including claims taking) and Welfare-to-Work. Further, the LDOL serves as the
state-level administrative and monitoring arm for the Title I funded programs at the local
level.
B. The
Louisiana Department of Education, the state agency responsible for the
delivery of Adult Education and Family Literacy programs and the secondary portion of Carl
E. Perkins-funded programs.
C. The
Louisiana Department of Social Services, the state agency responsible for the
delivery of Vocational Rehabilitation services (a required One-Stop partner) and the
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program (an optional One-Stop partner).
D. The
Louisiana Community and Technical College System, the state agency responsible for the
delivery of post-secondary Carl E. Perkins-funded programs.
E. The
Louisiana Division of Administration’s focus is to provide innovative leadership and
coordination in the development and implementation of sound management practices,
providing quality services to the state agencies and taxpayers in accordance with
executive policy and legislative mandates.
F. The
Louisiana Workforce Commission
serves as the catalyst in coordinating and aligning state workforce investment policies
and programs. The Commission, created by Act I of the 1997 Louisiana Legislature (LRS
23:2071), serves as Governor Foster’s review and policy-making body for all issues
relating to workforce education and training within the state.
IV. GOALS:
Jointly, the parties to this Memorandum of Understanding agree to work together to —
I. Establish
broad parameters that guide the state’s participation and help support local
development of the One-Stop system, eliminating the unwarranted duplication of services
and enhancing customer satisfaction throughout the system.
2. Identify
state-level policies or practices that inhibit development of the One-Stop system and
develop strategies to address any such barriers.
3. Accelerate
the development and adoption of new technologies and strategies to improve services within
the system, thereby facilitating broader citizen access and enhancing customer
satisfaction.
4. Seek
innovative new approaches for improving program performance.
5. View
the One-Stop system not as a stand-alone system, but as an integral part of a larger, more
comprehensive workforce education and training system, designed to meet
Louisiana's
vision of economic prosperity, social equity, and educational opportunity for all
citizens.
V.
SHARED VALUES FOR ONE-STOP SYSTEM: Parties to this
Memorandum of Understanding jointly endorse the following tenets for the One-Stop System:
Louisiana’s One-Stop system should
provide a comprehensive system for anyone seeking workforce development services and
resources. The goal is to integrate the state and local delivery of education, training,
and employment services. Customers of the system are:
· Job
seekers, including those persons with multiple barriers to employment and persons with
disabilities
· Employers
· Anyone
seeking accurate labor market information; and
· Anyone
seeking access to partner agency services.
Four guiding principles have been identified
as critical to successful one-stop system development. They are:
· Staff
and program integration — resulting in streamlined, seamless service delivery,
including integrative systems, local control, and customer focused results.
· Accountability
— emphasizing common and complementary performance measures among programs, the
use of performance measures to guide and inform continuous improvement processes, the use
of performance outcomes to determine regional incentive funding, and increased customer
satisfaction for both job seekers and employers.
· Universal
access — resulting in a simple, user-friendly system that provides access to all
available partner programs for all citizens, including employers, those citizens with
disabilities or those having multiple barriers to employment.
· Customer
Choice and Satisfaction — resulting in customer-focused services, increased
efforts to engage employer and private sector participation, and high customer
satisfaction.
Each One-Stop Workforce Center that is
chartered should work to achieve co-location of the maximum number of agency partners
available within a geographic area, providing a seamless service delivery system to all
customers, replacing fragmentation and duplication across agencies and programs.
VI. GENERAL
PROVISIONS: Parties to this Memorandum of Understanding agree jointly to
coordinate and perform the activities and services described herein within the scope of
legislative and federal requirements governing the parties’ respective programs,
services, and agencies.
All parties that represent required One-Stop
partner programs agree to:
1. Provide
core services in the eighteen (18) designated workforce investment areas through the
One-Stop Workforce Centers, as appropriate and needed by the community served. Each
agency/entity will be responsible for providing those core services for which they receive
funding to the extent determined by the program’s authorizing statute.
2. Designate
a state contact or local contacts to participate actively in planning discussions
regarding One-Stop development, thereby contributing to the quality of the local workforce
development system.
3. Participate
in state-level discussions on policy issues affecting the One-Stop System, including
facilities leasing, privacy and confidentiality, and data-sharing.
4. Participate
in the development of integrated common intake/assessment, case management, and referral
tools between parties.
5. Provide
local counterparts with the information, tools, and other resources needed to negotiate in
good faith with other local partners to determine fair share and proportionate
responsibility for local one-stop system
6. Acknowledge
each required state-level partners’ obligation to contribute its fair share to meet
local one-stop delivery system costs within each local workforce area, recognizing all
partners will continue to be subject to statutory and regulatory funding limitations and
requirements regarding allowable costs in each program
VII. COST-ALLOCATION:
The State-Level MOU Workgroup agreed that each required One-Stop partner is responsible
for providing the core services applicable to its program(s) in at least one comprehensive
center in each workforce investment area. Further, each partner will define the specific
core services that are applicable to its programs, levels of commitment, state-level
guidance for system funding, and expected outcomes for leveraged investments in the
system. It is mutually agreed to that agencies will support the system with a fair share
concept, which may include in-kind services.
VII. TERM
OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING: This Memorandum of
Understanding commences on February 3, 2000, the day it is signed by all parties and is
on-going. Modifications, such as the addition of new state-level partners, may be made
with the review and consent of all parties. Amendments and modifications must be given a
minimum of 30 days to comment prior to the inclusion of any amendment or modification. The
Louisiana Workforce Commission shall review and approve any such modifications. Oral
amendments or modifications shall have no effect. If any provision of this Memorandum of
Understanding is held invalid, the remainder of the Memorandum shall not be affected.

AGENCY PARTNER’S ADDENDUM TO THE
MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING FOR LOUISIANA’S
ONE-STOP SYSTEM
The Louisiana Department of Labor (LDOL), as a
state One-Stop System partner, agrees to the Goals and General Provisions and to otherwise
abide by this Memorandum of Understanding for the State of Louisiana and the Cost
Allocation Plans for each chartered One-Stop system in each of the 18 local workforce
investment areas.
Provisions: The Louisiana Department of
Labor is the State Administrative Entity (designated by the Governor) for Title I of WIA
which establishes the One-Stop System. The Louisiana Department of Labor is required to
perform the following activities:
· Dissemination
of the State list of eligible training providers, including information on performance and
program cost;
· Conducting
evaluations;
· Providing
incentive grants for regional cooperation and for local exemplary performance by local
areas on local performance measures;
· Providing
technical assistance to local areas;
· Assisting
in establishment and operation of the One-Stop delivery system and
· Operating
a fiscal and management information system.
The Louisiana Department of Labor may
also conduct other activities permitted by Section 134 of WIA including but not limited to
the following:
· Capacity building to One-Stop Operators and One-Stop partners;
·
Research and Demonstration projects; and
·
Other activities to assist local areas in carrying out activities through the
statewide workforce development system. All of these activities are in support of the
One-Stop delivery system and will be funded with the State’s 15% reserve funds under
WIA.
Other One-Stop partners and agencies should
contribute a fair share of the operating cost of the One-Stop system proportionate to the
use of the system by individuals attributable to the partner’s program.
Further, each partner should be held liable in
the event of any audit exceptions resulting from actions of its staff.
Funding: Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
programs are key partners in One-Stop locations. The LDOL will use $10,587,860 WIA
“15%” funds for training and other services in direct support of the One-Stop
initiative.
LDOL has dedicated $593,700 in Job Training
Partnership Act (JTPA) funds to facilitate transition to the WIA One-Stop service delivery
system. We have also used $200,000 Welfare-to Work funds for this purpose. These funds are
used for capacity building, team building training, development of a family income growth
strategy, and development of One-Stop employer services. Participants in training include
representatives from Department of Economic Development, Chambers of Commerce, Department
of Social Services,
Community Services Block Grant programs, JTPA
Service Delivery Areas, local Job Service offices and Older Worker agencies in various
training activities. Our plans are to use the remainder of these funds to continue
capacity building in service delivery redesign.
LDOL applied for and was awarded funding for a
grant to develop the One-Stop system. Total grant funds were $3,693,772. These grant funds
were used to develop the One-Stop infrastructure.
The Department of Labor purchased and
installed Thin Clients, personal computers and computer communication equipment and
Employment Service One-Stop locations throughout the State at a cost of $3,600,000 using
Wagner-Peyser funds. This computer equipment allows access for the One-Stop locations to
the LDOL mainframe database and Internet access including employment and training
information available on the LDOL Web Site.
Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding
for FY 2000 is $12,366,762. Eligible community action agencies are allocated a total of
95% of these funds. The remaining 5% is used by LDOL for administration of this program.
CSBG subgrantees are participants in local One-Stop systems and they support this effort
with allocated funds.
In many Employment Service One-Stop locations,
LDOL is providing office space, utilities, and communications at no cost to One-Stop
partners. These services, through Wagner-Peyser and associated special applicant group
grants, are a considerable contribution to the One-Stop service delivery system.
Total contributions of funds to development
and implementation of the One-Stop service delivery system by LDOL are $18,675,332 plus
non-cash contributions such as absorbing overhead costs for other One-Stop partners.

ADDENDUM TO THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

The Department of Social Services recognizes
that the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) FEND Work program plays an integral
role in the development of the workforce in Louisiana, especially for some of the most
indigent groups of citizens (welfare recipients). The Food Stamp employment and training
program (LaJET) also provides workforce services to non-TANF recipients who are
transitioning to work. Therefore, the Department of Social Services, Office of Family
Support will cooperate to the extent possible to aid in the fulfillment of the goals of
the Workforce initiatives of the state. It is recognized that the Department of Social
Services must maintain program integrity and fulfill the mandates of the Personal
Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act.

AGENCY PARTNER’S ADDENDUM TO THE
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR
LOUISIANA’S ONE-STOP SYSTEM
The Louisiana Community and Technical College
System (LCTCS), fiscal agent and administrator of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and
Technical Education program, as a State One-Stop partner, agrees to the Goals and General
Provisions and to otherwise abide by this Memorandum of Understanding for the State of
Louisiana and the Cost Allocation Plans for each chartered One-Stop system in each of the
18 local workforce investment areas. The LCTCS will provide the following:
Provisions:
The local postsecondary Perkins
III eligible
recipients—mandatory One-Stop partners—will have the flexibility to use Perkins
III funds, as available, or in-kind contributions to:
· Provide
preliminary intake and related services to individuals prior to their enrollment as a
student at the local technical college, community college or university, as part of a
“program for special populations” or as part of “nontraditional training
and employment activities.” Perkins III eligible recipients may, as part of the
intake process administer interest inventories or carry out other types of assessments of
prospective students for the purposes of identifying an appropriate course of
study/training. The eligible recipient has the flexibility to determine, in consultation
with the local Workforce Investment Board and other One-Stop partners, the nature and
extent of the assessment, as well as the particular instrument or strategy, that is to be
made available.
· Provide
information to prospective students concerning the availability of support services that
are available through a vocational and technical education program or through other
sources in the community. The Perkins III recipient has the flexibility to determine, in
consultation with the local Workforce Investment Board and the other One-Stop partners,
the nature and extent of the information concerning support services that are to be made
available. Generally the information should be the same as that provided initially to an
individual that comes to the campus prior to his or her enrollment in a vocational and
technical education program.
· Conduct
short-term, non-academic instructional seminars and workshops designed to enhance the
prospective students’ opportunities for success.
· The
LCTCS institutions offer to house the One-Stop Centers
at any location where space is available. The above n
activities are consistent with the applicable core
activities under WIA and Carl Perkins III.
The LCTCS institutions may also become
involved in employer specific training—short-term training and/or associate
degree/certificate programs—as they routinely do in their role of meeting
Louisiana’s training needs.
Funding:
Perkins III recipients may use some of their
funds to provide in-kind services at the One-Stops such as personnel, assessment
materials, brochures, etc. In addition a cash amount (to be determined) will be built into
the State Leadership plans for FY 2000-2001. These funds will be set aside to provide
assistance to the Perkins III recipients to provide applicable core services and to create
and maintain a presence in the One-Stop delivery system.
Expected Outcomes or Performance Measures
Obtained:
Perkins III recipients will be expected to
meet the States’ core objectives for the program as described in the Perkins State
Plan for FY2000-2004 (a component of Louisiana’s Unified State Plan)

AGENCY PARTNER’S ADDENDUM TO THE
MEMORANDUM OFUNDERSTANDING FOR LOUISIANA’S ONE-STOP SYSTEM
The Louisiana Division of Administration, as
a state —level partner, agrees to the Goals and General Provisions and to otherwise
abide by this Memorandum of Understanding for the State of Louisiana.
Provisions: The
Louisiana Division of Administration agrees to name Deputy Commissioner Don Hutchinson as
the Division’s “point of contact” to handle One-Stop implementation
concerns that fall under the jurisdiction of the Division of Administration. The Division
agrees to work closely with the state agencies named to identify barriers that impede
successful implementation of the One-Stop system and to work to address any such barriers.

RECOMMENDED
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR
ONE-STOP
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
Strategy #1:
State-Level Memorandum of Understanding between System Partners
To help provide
guidance and support for local workforce investment partners, a comprehensive state-level
agreement should be developed and signed by the cabinet-level secretaries that should
include, at a minimum:
· Agreement on Louisiana’s One-Stop system
vision and strategies
· Clear identification, by each partner, of the
individual (s), who should negotiate the MOU with the local WIB in each area
· Assurance that each state-level partner will
provide the appropriate program-specific information and guidance to empower their local
counterparts to fully and effectively participate in the MOU process
· Commitment to provide local counterparts with
the information, tools, and other resources needed to negotiate in good faith with other
local partners to determine fair share and proportionate responsibility for local one-stop
system
· Acknowledgement in writing of each state-level
partners’ obligation to contribute its fair share to meet local one-stop delivery
system costs within each local workforce area, recognizing all partners will continue to
be subject to statutory and regulatory funding limitations and requirements regarding
allowable costs in each program
Strategy #2: State
Template for Umbrella MOU (See Attachment A)
According to the
Workforce Investment Act, the local Workforce investment Board (with CEO agreement) must
enter into an MOU with the One-Stop partners concerning the operation of the one-stop
system in each area. The MOU is an attachment to the local five-year plan developed in
each area. Thus, it is important that all partners participate in the planning process,
and that the five-year plan not just be viewed as a Title I (JTPA) activity.
The WIA
regulations state that a single “umbrella” MOU may be developed between the
local Board and all partners or there may be separate agreements between the local Board
and one or more of the partners. Under either approach, the content requirements apply. It
is recommended that local areas be encouraged to develop an umbrella agreement for the
local system, signed by all one-stop partners and the Board. This is important because it
will encourage all partners to work toward agreement and ensure the most comprehensive services will be made available
through the system.
The proposed umbrella agreement would:
- outline the vision for the local
system (consistent with the five-year plan), and the principles that the partners agree
will guide their efforts locally;
- identify the comprehensive one-stop
center which must exist in the workforce investment area, and any satellites, or other
service sites as determined locally;
- include the required content
provisions regarding the one-stop delivery system that are applicable to all partners;
- include general timetables for
implementing any specific aspects of the agreement (i.e. longer term activities, such as
securing new sites, developing new information technologies, etc.) which will not yet be
in place at the time the MOU is signed; and
- include provisions that provide a
foundation for future planning in the system
|
Strategy #3: Local Boards should support the
umbrella agreement with more detailed agreements that address the
specific contributions and participation of each local partner.There are two
recommended options for attachments to the umbrella agreement (see Attachment BI and B2):
a. Model #1: Develop separate agreements with each
partner agency, which would address services, resource contributions, and other
commitments to support the local one-stop system specific to that particular one-stop
partner. The agreement would address the partner’s contribution to the comprehensive
center, as well as any other satellite site in which that partner will participate.
b. Model #2: Develop separate agreements for the
comprehensive center, and other satellite sites as determined locally should be
included in the MOIJ. These agreements would be signed by the local Board and all partners
participating at the location. The agreement would address the services, resource
contributions, and other provisions relevant to that particular location.
Model #1 seems
more efficient and less complicated because each partner agency ne2otiates its
contributions to the system in one
document as opposed to
creating a separate agreement for each site.
LOCAL MOU CONTENT AND
RELATED RECOMMENDATIONS
According to the
WIA and the interim final regulations, local Memoranda of Understanding must address the
following provisions:
· Services: The services to be provided through
the one-stop system. including the applicable core services which will be provided through
the local one-stop system (at least one comprehensive center) and how other partner
services (non-core services) will be accessed;
· Costs: How the costs of
such services and the operating costs of the system will be funded, including funding
arrangements for services and operating costs, and the method for determining
proportionate responsibility for the provision of core services and operating costs;
· Referrals: Methods of referral between the
one-stop operator and one-stop partners;
· Duration and amendment: The duration of the
MOU and the procedures for amending the agreement; and
· Other provisions that the parties to the
agreement determine to be appropriate.
I. The WIA Implementation Workgroup on One-Stops recommends
the following minimum content requirements for the local MOUs:’
a.Identify the
applicable core services which will be provided by each partner, at the
comprehensive center which must exist in the workforce investment area, and at any other
non-comprehensive centers, satellites, or other service sites as determined locally. For
most state-administered partner programs, the core services to be provided in the
comprehensive center will be defined at the state level. These core services must
be consistent with the authorizing legislation for each program and should be defined in
the Service Matrix (Attachment C).
b.Identify, for each
program how those core services will be provided. (The WIA One-Stop
Workgroup Guidelines and Section 662.250(b) of the regulations describe several options,
including provision of appropriate technology, colocating personnel, cross-training
staff, itinerant staff, cost reimbursement or other agreements).
c. Identify’
which other services (support. non-core. etc.) will be accessed through the
comprehensive center, and through other
service sites as determined locally.
______________________________
1A
matrix outlining the core services applicable to each required One-Stop partner should be
developed and provided to each local workforce area in the state.
d.
Identify how
those other partner services will be accessed.
Consistent with the authorizing legislation
of each partner, each MOC must address, at minimum, the following provisions regarding
costs and funding arrangements:
Identify the one-stop
delivery system costs, for which all partners agree to share responsibility, and the
contribution of each partner in supporting these costs. These system costs
might be defined as those costs required to (a) develop, implement, and manage the
one-stop delivery system in a workforce development area, and (b) in which all partners
involved in the local one-stop system share responsibility.2
Identify,
for each partner, the partner program costs, which will be incurred by that partner in
providing core services (and other services as appropriate). Partner program
costs might be defined as those costs (a) incurred directly by a partner to provide
eligible services to eligible participants of its own unique programs, and (b) for which
the partner providing those services is exclusively responsible.
Identify
the agreed-upon method for determining proportionate responsibility for the described core
services and operating costs, based on use of services by individuals attributed to the
partners ‘programs.
|
Each MOU must describe the agreed-upon methods for
referring individuals between the one-stop operator and the partner agencies for
appropriate services. This referral
method should be developed locally, and be structured in the best interest of the
customer. The MOU should identify, at minimum, a referral process which:
- identifies the
entities between whom the referrals will occur
- Identifies the methods through which referrals will be made (e.g. telephone,
email, common intake/assessment)
- Identifies the
processes through which the partners will track customer referrals
|
____________________
2“System
costs” might include the costs of the comprehensive one-stop center, system wide
marketing costs, costs associated with development of unique local employment statistics.
etc.
IV. Each MOU must
specify, at minimum, an agreed-upon duration period for the agreement.
It is recommended
that the umbrella MOU be updated at least every five years. (consistent with the timing of
the local Title 1 five-year plan). During the early phases of one-stop implementation, it is likely that there will be more frequent
updating of MOUs.
Specific resource agreements and cost
allocation plans may need to be updated annually.
V. Each
MOU must include procedures for amending and renegotiating the local MOU as circumstances
dictate.
It is important
that the MOU be considered a “livin2 document” as local one-stop systems will
continue to expand and evolve over time. Thus, local partners should work to agree on
procedures for implementing substantive changes to the MOU in a way that is both effective
and manageable. At minimum, the amendment provisions should address:
The amount of
notice that must be given to the partners when amendments are proposed. (A 30-day minimum
is suggested)
The specific
procedures for ensuring that all partners are made aware of an amendment, even if amendment
is specific to only one partner program.
The circumstances
under which the A’IOU must be amended and who will
participate in amending the agreement. These circumstances could be either outside the
control of the partners (changes prompted as a result of a funding cut or law change) or
within the control of the partners (a change in nature or level of participation by a
partner)
Procedures for
terminating the MOU, or a specific partner’s participation in the MOU.
Additional
Recommendations (Beyond Federal Requirements)
Though not
explicitly required in WIA or the regulations, the Commission believes that partner
agreements in the following areas will promote the state-wide effectiveness of the
one-stop system and should be addressed in the MOU:
Description of the
data sharing, client tracking, and reporting obligations of the partner, including
confidentiality provisions, and how SCORECARD data will be collected.
