47. IGA WITH CITY OF PHOENIX Approve a non-financial Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between City of Phoenix, through its Community & Economic Development Department and Maricopa County administered by its Human Services Department. The purpose of this IGA is to establish the Joint Regional Workforce Development planning process to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of workforce development services and service delivery in Maricopa County and the City of Phoenix in which both parties will participate in activities. The term of this IGA is effective from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2017. This agreement may be renewed for (2) additional two-year periods upon the written agreement of the parties. Maricopa County and the City of Phoenix are each designated Workforce Investment Areas under the Federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. On July 22, 2014, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law, which calls for federal, state, and local partnership to implement WIOA programs designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. This revised law promotes regionalism to align workforce development resources to regional economies to ensure coordinated and efficient services to both job seekers and employers.
