Subject:
title
Request for Approval to Amend our Master Agreement to Include Additional Language as per the Colorado Office of the State Controller
end
Purpose and Request:
recommended action
Arapahoe County on behalf of Arapahoe/Douglas Works received House Bill 21-1264 funds for Reskilling, Upskilling, and Next-skilling (RUN) along with Workforce Innovation Grants (WIG) funds. These grant allocations have been designated and funded using SLFRF (State/Local Fiscal Recovery Funds) and as per the Colorado Office of the State Controller require additional language attached to these funds based on special provisions.
end
Background and Discussion: Arapahoe County on behalf of Arapahoe/Douglas Works! has entered into a Master Agreement with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment to provide Federal, State, and other funding to the Arapahoe/Douglas Local Area for implementation and operation of existing and new programs for the State's workforce development program as defined in §8-83-204 C.R.S. If approved and incorporated, the Exhibit E. Amendment will update this language based on special provisions as required.
Alternatives: If the Amendment is not incorporated, our ability to utilize these funding resources for service delivery may be compromised.
Fiscal Impact: This Amendment will be used to modify our Master Agreement under which we receive our funding allocations. While our Agreement needs to be modified, the spending authority is already in place, so the process of incorporating the Amendment will not affect our ability to spend down our funds.
Alignment with Strategic Plan:
☒Be fiscally sustainable
☒Provide essential and mandated service
☒Be community focused
