73. AMENDMENT TO IGA WITH ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC SECURITY FOR MARICOPA WORKFORCE CONNECTIONS ACTIVITIES Approve Amendment No. 10 to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) DE5706007 and Maricopa County (C-22-05-042-2) administered by its Human Services Department. This amendment will decrease Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Title, 1B Federal Grant Program Year (PY) 06 Set-a-Side funds from $1,000,000.00 to $341,110. DES awarded $1,000,000 Set-A-Side funds under Amendment No. 9 under IGA DE5706007 which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 1, 2008 but was not fully executed by DES until March 10, 2009. IGA DE5706007 contract expires June 30, 2009. Because of the short time frame to expend the funds DES will award $658,890.00 from PY07 WIA Set-A-Side funds. This Amendment does not contain any County General funds. There was a delay in receiving the funds due to the following reasons: Amendment No. 8 was originally approved by the Board of Supervisor on September 17, 2008. DES withdrew the Amendment due to an error in the fund amount. On January 14, 2009 the Board of Supervisors approved the revised Amendment No. 8 (C-22-09-125-3). This Amendment was not fully executed by DES until March 10, 2009. This created a delay in processing Amendment No. 9. Amendment No. 9 which provided $1,000,000 Set-A-Side funds was approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 1, 2008 but was not fully executed by DES until March 10, 2009. (C-22-09-125-3-02)
