Notes to SEFA
The City, along with the cities of Burbank and La Cañada Flintridge, established a joint powers agreement on December 14, 1999, named the Verdugo Consortium (the Consortium) for the purpose of receiving a Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) allocation and administering the WIOA program as a single participating jurisdiction. This agreement designates the Arroyo Verdugo Communities Joint Powers Authority (AVCJPA), which consists of one elected official from each of the three cities, to ratify appointments for members of the Verdugo Workforce Development Board. The City, as the Consortium’s lead entity, has assumed the overall responsibility for ensuring that the Consortium is compliant with all WIOA program requirements, including the receipt, disbursement, accounting for all WIOA programs, and matching funds.
