Background and Discussion: 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). 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 (meetings attached).
The State of Colorado requested that an Amendment No. 1 be executed to include additional federal compliance and reporting provisions. In addition to the signature authority for Amendment No. 1, we are also requesting granting signature authority for future similar requests from the State after a drop-in meeting with the Board.
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. There are no additional expenses to the County due to this Amendment No. 1.
Alignment with Strategic Plan:
☒Be fiscally sustainable
☒Provide essential and mandated service
☒Be community focused
