WDB staff were in attendance to answer questions on programmatic or WIOA law requirements. Ms. Openbrier stated that the only two comprehensive proposals received were from the current providers, Southwest Training Services and Job Training for Beaver County. She added that the both of the providers have excellent track records. She gave brief explanation of the other two proposals received and explained that the council felt these ideas would be good add-on options for the youth programs if the providers felt the need to strengthen. She added that all members scored the proposals based on the scoring matrix included in the RFP, which were available in the briefing book. She concluded her report by stating that the Youth Council recommended that the board accept both Southwest Training Services’ and Job Training for Beaver County’s proposals.

centers, with numbers going up. He also stated that he attended a PA CareerLink 101 Training at PACL Washington, which he thought was very valuable for new staff members. He added that many upgrades are being made at the facilities, which included technology, carpet and furniture.

Chairman Wiltrout then introduced Senator Camera Bartolotta. He thanked her for attending the meeting and added that a brief bio was included with the handouts. Senator Bartolotta stated that she was joining the meeting to provide an update on workforce and business development from Harrisburg. She also wanted to take back ideas from her local area to assist with planning. She added that record low unemployment levels have caused a changing job market and that skill training must change with it. She acknowledges how important workforce development was by citing that one of the most difficult tasks that face employers today was finding qualified workers. She stated that the Governor’s office realizes the importance of this and has developed the Keystone Economic Development and Workforce Command Center to help with these important issues. She added that time would tell if this idea was duplicative or not. Senator Bartolotta then provided an update of the issues covered at the May 1, 2019 board meeting. She reviewed various House and Senate Bills that were being proposed. Many were focused on reentry, recovery, Career and Technical Education, and Community Colleges. She also cited a House Bill that would develop a Parent Handbook to educate on workforce needs in the area. She concluded her presentation by stating that there were many great activities occurring but they needed input from the local level. Chairman Wiltrout thanked the Senator for all of the information and added that while he thought educating parents was important he also emphasized the importance of educating High School staff including Guidance Counselors of the local workforce needs. Commissioner Zimmerman echoed the value of educating both parents and school districts on workforce stating that his office has received complaints from parents on the subject. The board discussed the best way to get the word out to local educators and parents without overwhelming them with additional meeting or boards. Commissioner Coder applauded the efforts on criminal justice reform adding that it was a difficult process. The Senator stated that the new Secretary’s goal was to make expungement easier. Commissioner Zimmerman stated that it was difficult to change societies mind on the subject. Commissioner Zimmerman asked if there were anything more we could do to assist with getting people over the poverty line. Senator Bartolotta stated that she did not feel that $15 per hour minimum wage was reasonable, but she did feel that a cost of living increase was possible. Director Gatts stated that she was thankful that the Local Workforce Boards were included in many of the initiatives. She did not feel it was productive to go around them. Chairman Wiltrout asked if we would continue to see investment in the Opioid Crisis. He
SCWDB Briefing Book 8/27/2019 Page 11 Beaver, Greene, & Washington Counties, PA SOUTHWEST CORNER WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD WDB STAFF REPORTS added that the current grants have benefited the area. Senator Bartolotta stated that addiction has hit PA the hardest. She stated that the death rate had decreased but there was still a lot of work to do. She noted that the decision is whether to invest in recovery or warehousing (prisons). Chairman Wiltrout stated that hospital programs have not seen a decrease in activity and there is still a waiting list for many programs they offer. Senator Bartolotta stated that she felt long-term investment was the only way combat the issue. With no further discussion, Senator Bartolotta thanked the board for welcoming her and exited the meeting.
Director Ami Gatts was asked to present the fiscal information contained on pages 21-32 of briefing book. The financial status report lists every grant with administrative, programmatic oversight and programmatic services (contracted). Report shows term, expenses, and percentage spent to date. Ms. Gatts stated that all PY 17 WIOA funding had been spent and that all PY 18 WIOA expenditures are on pace to hit or exceed percentage requirements. She anticipates all expiring funds to be completely spent except for those funds related to the EARN program. She noted that the EARN program is referral based and that we can only spend on the participants that are referred from the Department of Human Services. Mr. Feraco asked if 10% is the maximum amount allowed to be spent on administrative costs. Ms. Gatts confirmed that 10% was the maximum and reminded that this limitation was what had caused issues in the past. Chairman Wiltrout asked for comments or questions. With none, he asked for a motion to approve the Fiscal Report. Mr. Fitzgerald made the motion, Mr. Feraco seconded. All in favor, no opposed or abstentions, motion carried.
Ms. Gatts moved to the Director’s Report. The first item was the combined MOU/Resource sharing agreement budget draft that was included in the briefing book. Ms. Gatts stated that there were very few changes and highlighted some of the new partners that would be joining the MOU process. Ms. Gatts moved on to discuss the WDB by law update. Ms. Gatts directed the board to page 35 of the briefing book. She summarized the change by stating that all board members must be appointed for a minimum of 2 years and a maximum of 4 years including mid-term appointments. She also noted that a statement defining that there was no limit on the number of terms a member could serve was added. She stated that these were minor changes recommended by BWDA during the annual compliance review. Chairman Wiltrout asked for comments or questions. With none, he asked for a motion to approve the by law update. Ms. Paluda made the motion, Ms. Como seconded. All in favor, no opposed or abstentions, motion carried.
Ms. Gatts referred to a needed alteration to the Local Plan. She asked Mr. Jeffrey Nobili to explain the alteration. Mr. Nobili explained that the OJT policy in the local plan currently stated that the minimum wage allowed to be supported is $10 per hour. It is being proposed that they minimum wage be increased to $12 per hour. He explained that in order to make a change to the local plan it must be put out for comment for 30 days and follow all other BWDA approval requirements. He explained that we are asking that the OJT policy be removed from the local
SCWDB Briefing Book 8/27/2019 Page 12 Beaver, Greene, & Washington Counties, PA SOUTHWEST CORNER WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD WDB STAFF REPORTS plan, so that changes can be made by the board when a circumstance like this arises. Mr. Frank Staszko stated that the local plan is more a strategic document and that details like this are not normally included. He added that a change like this will bring the plan in line with other local areas. Chairman Wiltrout asked for additional comments or questions. With none, he asked for a motion to approve the alteration to the local plan as presented. Ms. Ramusivich made the motion, Mr. Staszko seconded. All in favor, no opposed or abstentions, motion carried. Ms. Gatts then reported a few other updates to the board. She stated that we were awarded 3 of the 6 Teacher in the Workplace Grants that were applied for. She informed the board that Federal monitoring for all areas involved in the Opioid Grant would be occurring August 27-30, 2019. She notified the board that High Priority Occupation petitions were currently being accepted by the state. She concluded her report by notifying the board that an Audit Request for Proposal was out.
Chairman Wiltrout asked Ms. Neil about the PACL Operator report, but she reported that all items to be discussed were already discussed during the meeting. Ms. Neil mentioned that the current focus was on Business Services.
Chairman Wiltrout asked the board to turn their attention to the WIOA state data reports that were handed out prior to the meeting. Ms. Gatts stated that we were meeting or exceeding all negotiated levels and excelling in youth related rates. Mr. Nobili added that our negotiated levels were higher than the state levels. Mr. Feraco asked why the Adult Credential Attainments rate was lower than the rest. Ms. Neil responded that she thought it might be related to timing. She added that the 4th quarter should give a clearer picture of actual performance. Ms. Cindy Derrico added that you have 1 year to attain a credential. Mr. Feraco stated that he would like to revisit this discussion at the next meeting. Ms. Gatts added that these performance measures are new for everyone and that all parties were still trying to figure out how they work. Chairman Wiltrout asked for additional comments or questions. With none, he asked for a motion to approve the performance report as presented. Ms. Hager made the motion, Mr. Rockage seconded. All in favor, no opposed or abstentions, motion carried.

SCWDB Briefing Book 8/27/2019 Page 13 Beaver, Greene, & Washington Counties, PA SOUTHWEST CORNER WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD WDB STAFF REPORTS
MONITORING REPORT PA CareerLink® Centers, Title I Providers
PA CareerLink® During the past fourth quarter annual reviews were conducted with the four Southwest Corner PACL centers. All four centers were found to be in compliance with regulations regarding their operations. During the past year all PACL centers have conducted a review of CareerLink Way Training in order to inform new staff of standards and expectations.
The RESEA has led to an increased use of our various workshops, and our satisfaction surveys indicate that the program has been well received.
Perhaps the greatest issue facing all four PACL centers is the reduction of foot traffic due to the high employment numbers. Subsequently, job fair numbers have also fallen off. In response PACL centers have utilized smaller, industry specific job fairs and several PACL centers have had their staff go to employer or partner sites to provide services.
All Centers continue to use business service and participant service teams, and operations and use of forms are consistent throughout the workforce area.
Title I Providers On 7/5 and 7/26/19 a fourth quarter review was completed for the Title I Providers. (both Job Training for Beaver County, Inc. and Southwest Training Services, Inc.) In all, twenty cases were reviewed from all categories (Adult, Dislocated Worker, Trade, and Youth).
All cases were found to be in compliance with regulatory and administrative requirements.
As usual, there were a wide variety of needs met by our array of services. Successes ranged from an individual with a 4th grade math score who went through remediation and ultimately became a software developer for PNC, to a lady who was laid off as a truck spotter and trained for her CDL and was hired at $28.23 per hour.
Both Title I Providers worked with difficult Youth Cases, but in reviewing the cases one is struck by the resilience of the youth and the wide array of services provided. All seven Youth Cases reviewed resulted in training or employment. It is noted that two of the four cases reviewed at Southwest were classified as homeless.
All cases reviewed from Job Training for Beaver County, Inc. and Southwest Training Services, Inc. were all documented, gave evidence of good case work, and demonstrated appropriate and effective use of public funds.

Local Plan Update Update on Previous Modification · On 5/28/2019, the SCWDB approved this change at its quarterly meeting. This modification relates to on-the-job training policy and procedures. SCWDB has established a local policy for OJT opportunity administration. · The first week of June 2019: Public notices were listed in three local newspapers (Beaver County Times, Observer Reporter, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). Notice included all required information and that comments would be collected through June 30, 2019. · No public comments were submitted to SCWDB staff; therefore, no formal responses were required. · SCWDB OJT Policy has been created and attached to this packet (Next Page) · Motion and vote will be required to accept the new OJT Policy
Upcoming Local Plan Modification Process · PA Department of Labor & Industry and PA State Workforce Development Board is requiring each local board to modify/update its local plan this fall. This will be a modification to provide any updates, corrections, or small changes to local and regional plans. Modification will make the dates of our plan 2017-2020. · PA State Workforce Development Board is preparing a full, new State WIOA Plan based on the Governor’s priorities and state development. This will be a full plan that will go into effect in 2020. · Local Boards will then have Two years to work with the state plan and align services. At that time, a full, new local WIOA plan will be required. State decided to use this process so that locals can react to State Plan, and build local efforts based on ongoing actions. Should be a more seamless process. · Much work locally is being done on required modification: o Locally, draft modification has been prepared by SCWDB staff. Takes into account new efforts, stakeholder comments, and local economic trends. Planning discussion with Title I providers and regional partners. o Regionally, meeting with Board partners from three neighboring boards will take place on 8/14/2019.

Draft will be released for 30-day comment period simultaneously with State review, commencing on August 23, 2019. o Locally, Board members will vote to approve both plans at our November 2019 meeting.
