Ill THE OAKLAND COUNTY EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING DIVISION'S PROPOSED BUDGET FOR PROGRAM YEAR 1995 A narrative for the Oakland County Employment & Training Division's proposed Program Year 1995 budget follows: Introduction - The Oakland County Employment and Training Division administers the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) and other employment and training programs for the Balance of Oakland County Service Delivery Area (SDA) under the joint policy direction of the Private Industry Council (PIC) and the County Executive/Chief Elected Official (CEO). The JTPA establishes programs to prepare youth and adults who face serious barriers to employment for participation in the labor force. These programs provide job training and other services that will result in increased employment and earnings. increased educational and occupational skills, and decreased welfare dependency, thereby improving the quality of the workforce and enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of the nation. The Michigan Employment Security Commission's "Annual Planning Information Report for 1995" indicates that 42,235 JTPA eligible individuals reside in the Balance of Oakland County SDA. The SDA's 1995 JTPA funding level of nearly $6.6 million will serve approximately 7% (or 3,035) of these eligible residents. During Program Year 1994, programs funded under JTPA Titles IIA and IIC, which serve economically disadvantaged adults and youths, were evaluated according to six performance standards. These standards measured such outcomes as the adult long-term employment rate, the youth entered employment rate, and the adult long-term weekly wage rate. The JTPA Title III Program, which serves dislocated workers, is measured by the number of participants who enter employment. In 1994, the SDA achieved and exceeded all of these performance standards. (A Fact Sheet that provides additional information on the JTPA and the Balance of Oakland County SDA follows this narrative.) Funding - Attachment A to the Resolution provides an estimate and breakdown of the Balance of Oakland County SDKs total JTPA and other funding that is available for Program Year 1995. Significant points about the Attachment follow: A. Section I. of Attachment A identifies and delineates administrative funds, which are appropriated from a number of sources, including the Work First Program for public assistance recipients and the following JTPA programs: the Title IIA disadvantaged adult program, the Title IC disadvantaged youth program, the Title ill dislocated worker program, and the Title 118 summer youth program. B. Section II. of Attachment A identifies and delineates the program funds available for Program Year 1995. These dollars will fund the various training programs (e.g., on-the-job training, occupational classroom training, work experience, job search assistance, etc.) into which participants from the Balance of Oakland County SDA will be enrolled. C. Section III. of Attachment A indicates that the SDA's total funding for Program Year 1995 is $6,599,421, which represents a $353,839 (or 5%) decrease from the Program Year 1994 funding level of $6,953,260. The decrease reflects substantial reductions the federal government has imposed on JTPA programs and has been partially mitigated by other funding sources (e.g., the "No Wrong Door" Planning Grant and the Voucher Pilot Program), for which the SDA applied and received funding. Budget - Attachment B to the Resolution delineates the Oakland County Employment and Training Division's proposed Program Year 1995 Administrative Budget. Significant points about the budget follow: A. The Division's proposed budget is funded entirely with administrative dollars; no program (or traini.ng ) dollars, in other words, supplemdnt the budget. This is in marked contrast to the Division's 1988 budget, which appropriated. over $100,000 in training funds. B. The Division's proposed Program Year 1995 budget is funded at $832.784. This amount represents a $28,798 (or 4%) decrease from the $861,582 level at which the Division's 1994 budget was funded. C. The Division's proposed Program Year 1995 budget includes a $391,678 administrative allocation for the SDA's service provider contractors, who need administrative funds to operate JTPA programs. Although it is charged to the administrative budget, this allocation will not fund any Employment and Training Division operating expense. D. Of the total Program Year 1995 dollars available for administration ($1,294,027), $69,565 (or 5%) has been converted to fund programmatic training activities (e,g., on-the-job training, work experience, etc.). The Division's proposed budget does not, in other words, utilize the entire amount of available administrative dollars, despite the substantial funding decrease the SDA has absorbed. E. Attachment B divides the budget into four sections: "Salaries and Fringe Benefits" (Lines 1-4), "Contractual Services" (Lines 6-21), "Commodities" (Lines 23-25), and "Internal Services" (Lines 27-38), The Attachment also provides an explanation for each of the line items in each of these sections and indicates whether the Program Year 1995 amount proposed for each line item represents an increase or decrease from the amount allocated in Program Year 1994. A summary of the line items that have been significantly increased or decreased follows: Line_liems 1 and 3 (Salaries and Frinee Benefits) - These line items have been increased by $2,918 and $1,625, respectively, and reflect an anticipated 3,5% cost of living increase and a few merit and service increments. Line Item 7 (Professional Services) - This line item, which includes the costs the SDA's certified public accounting firm incurs as it monitors contractors for fiscal and programmatic compliance with the JTPA, has been reduced by $23,069 to reflect last year's actual expenditure. Line Item 9 (Accounting Services) - This line item has been decreased by $28,300, because, effective January 1, 1996, the Oakland County Accounting Division will assign only one accountant to the Employment and Training Division. During 1995, two accountants were assigned to the Division. Line Item 10 (Subcontractors). - As noted above, the SDA's service provider contractors need administrative funds to operate JTPA and other employment and training programs. Line item 10 has been decreased by $17,291, which reflects reductions to the WA's JTPA programs. Line Item 15 (Indirect Cost) - Indirect costs are associated with County departments or divisions (e.g., Personnel, Purchasing, Budget, the Treasurer, etc.) that provide the Employment and Training Division with services whose costs cannot be directly charged. Because indirect costs are determined by applying an indirect cost rate percentage to the Division's salaries (and because the Division's salary total has increased), the Indirect Cost line item has also been increased. In addition, the Oakland County Budget Division recalculated the indirect cost rates of all County divisions for 1995. The new rates were based on a number of factors, including: the number of positions in a given division vs. the total number of County positions and 2.) the amount of a given division's federal or state grants vs. the total grant dollars the County receives. As a result of these factors, the Employment and Training Division's indirect cost rate was increased from 7% to 7.7%, and this line item has been increased by $2,866. Line Item 27 (Office Space Rent) - This line item has been reduced by $1,286 to reflect a rental decrease anticipated for calendar year 1996. Line Item 30 (Computer Services) - This line hem has been increased by $15,902 to reflect the costs of technical assistance and eqiiipment the Employment and Training Division will need as it networks with its JTPA Career Centers and continues to implement the new Work First Program for public assistance recipients.
