EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Page 1 of 7
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners approves and authorizes the
Chairman to sign a contract with the Southwest Florida Workforce Development Board,
Inc. to allow the reimbursement of training expenses through the Employed Worker
Training Program in an amount not to exceed $54,550 and approves the necessary
Budget Amendment for the Public Utilities Division.
OBJECTIVE: To approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the contract for the Employed
Worker Training Program as specified in the Workforce Investment Act.
CONSIDERATIONS: On June 23, 2009, (Item 16E15) the Board of County Commissioners
approved the grant application for The Employed Worker Training Program, which is designed
to improve and enhance the skills of currently employed workers. The grant is offered by the
Department of Education and funded through the Workforce Investment Act through Workforce
Florida, Inc. and administered by the Southwest Florida Workforce Development Board, Inc. for
Region 24. These funds are not normally offered to public employers, however, utility worker
positions are considered as targeted jobs this year for Region 24. The Water and Wastewater
Departments of the Public Utilities Division supply vital services to the residents and visitors of
Collier County. Additional training of these workers will ensure high levels of skills and
competencies for these employees as they serve the needs of Collier County Water -Sewer
District ratepayers. These grant funds are being requested to cover the costs for 87 employees
to attend one (1) or more of eight (8) individual training programs that relate directly to the safe,
efficient operations of Collier County Utility Operations. The time limit on the grant is one year
from the date of execution.
The grant funding will pay for training costs in the areas of operator certification, proper
' treatment processes, repair and proper maintenance of the equipment and techniques for
ensuring public safety.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Grant revenue in an amount not to exceed $54,550 will be recognized by Budget Amendment
and deposited in Water /Sewer Fund 408. The grant requires a fifty percent match in kind and
this requirement will be met through the payment of these employees' wages during the training.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact on the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed the County Attorney's Office and is
legally sufficient for Board action. — CMG
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves and authorizes the
Chairman to sign the contract with the Employed Worker Training Program funded by the
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) through Workforce Florida, Inc. and administered by the
Southwest Florida Workforce Development Board, Inc. and also approves the necessary Budget
Amendment. This will enable the Public Utilities Division to accept reimbursement for expended
training dollars.
