The Unified or Combined State Plan must include the following with respect to activities carried out under subtitle B--
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 will issue its policy on the requirements for funding infrastructure costs in an Arkansas Workforce Development Board policy issuance no later than June 30, 2017. In part, the policy will state 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 policy also will state 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.
The appeals process will be outlined in the policy issuance.
