44. RESCIND ACTION AND APPROVE AMENDMENT TO IGA WITH ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC SECURITY Rescind action taken on September 17, 2008 (C-22-09-008-03-02) to approve Amendment No. 2 to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) E5706007. The action incorrectly referenced the amendment number and the Maricopa County (MC) File number for this amendment. This action should have correctly approved Amendment #8 under C-22-05-042-2. Further, the amendment documents presented by DES contained an error in Section 4 Compensation. DES has provided a revised Amendment No. 8 to DES contract E5706007 being submitted for approval along with this corrective action. Approve the DES revised Amendment No. 8 to DES contract E5706007 and assign MC Contract C-22-05-042-2-08 to this amendment. This amendment reduces Workforce Investment Act (WIA) program funding by $1,894,546. The U.S. Department of Labor experienced a $324 million dollar reduction in federal funds. Each State in the U.S. experienced a rescission of funds; the State of Arizona had a $10 million dollar rescission. Maricopa County ’s portion of the rescission funds is $1,894,546 for program year 2006. All terms and conditions of the contract shall remain in full force and effect. The original IGA term is April 1, 2005 to June 30, 2009 and approved under C-22-05-040-3-LI. The IGA was assigned contract C-22-05-042-2. This IGA does not contain any County General funds. Maricopa County , exclusive of the City of Phoenix , is a designated Workforce Investment Area under the federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. The goal of Maricopa County ’s Workforce Investment Board, Maricopa Workforce Connections, is to provide a comprehensive workforce development system under which Maricopa County residents can access appropriate services.
