a. 1. D. Provide the Appeals Process Referred to in Section 121(h)(2)(e) of WIOA Relating to Determinations for Infrastructure Funding.
Current Narrative:
The State distributed a MOU template to Local Boards in Summer 2017. This template included the requirements for funding infrastructure costs. In part, the template provided guidance that local boards, with the agreement of chief elected officials of the area, must develop and enter into memorandums of understanding (MOU’s) with statutorily required one-stop partners for operation and funding of a one-stop delivery system in the local area. Local boards may also enter into MOU’s with other optional partners, as described by WIOA. Among several required provisions, the MOU must include a final plan, or an interim plan if needed, on how the infrastructure costs of the one-stop centers will be funded.
The template included a dispute resolution that if a one-stop partner appeals to the state regarding infrastructure costs and the appeal results in a change to the one-stop partner’s infrastructure cost contributions, the MOU must be updated to reflect the final one-stop partner infrastructure cost contributions.
