V. Cost Sharing
Partner agencies co-located in the MWC One-Stop Career Centers must pay for costs
associated with the operation of the Career Centers. The agreement establishes the terms
for cost sharing. Each agency shall contribute proportionately to the operational costs of
the One-Stop system (20 CFR §662.270). Shared Costs are provided in Exhibit 2 of the
agreement.
A. Identification of Operating Budget for One-Stop Delivery System
MWC has developed a cost allocation method for shared costs. The costs consist of
direct costs that are incurred by partners in the provision of customer services in the
One-Stop Career Centers
Direct Costs include:
 Rent/Lease
 Utilities
Page 13 of 20

EXHIBIT 1
 Janitorial/maintenance
 Copier rental & Supplies
 Protective Services
 Communications
 Repairs & Maintenance
 Applicable Taxes
B. Cost Allocation and Resource Sharing Methodology
The shared costs as displayed in Exhibit 2 have been combined into a cost pool for
the purposes of cost allocation. This cost pool and the method used for allocation of
pooled costs to the Agency is described below. The total proportionate share
attributable to each partner is also reflected in Exhibit 2.
Direct Cost Pool – The individual cost of items for the operation of the MWC One-
Stop Career Centers. These costs are allocated on the basis of square footage
occupied by each agency, co-located at the One-Stop Career Centers and a
proportionate amount of Common space. Cost allocations are adjusted yearly for
changes in the One-Stop Career Centers agency participation. Projected costs are
estimated and each agency shall pay its fair share.
MWC has some latitude for discretion in determining how to share costs, as long as
the basis used for cost sharing is compatible with the governing provisions of WIA,
other partners' legislation, and the applicable OMB Circulars.
Each Agency shall comply with the Federal Cost Principles set forth in the applicable
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars. The following lists the circulars
and corresponding entities:
 OMB Circular A-21 – Cost Principles for Educational Institutions.
 OMB Circular A-87 – Cost Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribal Govts.
 OMB Circular A-122 – Cost Principles for Nonprofit Organizations.
The cost allocation process that is adopted is fully documented. The structure and
capabilities of the Partner Agency’s accounting systems will be considered in
designing an operable cost allocation process. Each Agency shall contribute a fair
share of the operating costs based on the use of the one-stop delivery system by
individuals attributable to the Agency. The MWC Board supports the fairness of the
negotiated amounts through the use of cost allocation methods or bases.
Each agency shall provide the resources necessary to fund their proportionate share
of the shared costs as reflected in Exhibit 2. All agencies that are co-located in the
One-Stop Career Centers must make monthly payments to Maricopa County
representing their fair share based on square footage used.
A proportionate share of common space shall be attributed to each partner agency
and will be included in the monthly costs to be paid by each agency. Costs are
anticipated to remain the same throughout the year, and will be evaluated on a yearly
basis. Changes in costs will be adjusted through an amendment.

the One-Stop Career Centers and the direct costs distributed among the agencies
