Tedesco Alexis Tibbetts Al Ward David Whalen January 14, 2013 The Workforce Development Board of Okaloosa and Walton Counties requests the review and consideration for approval of a revision to the Interlocal Agreement between the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners and the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (Attachment A — Current Agreement.) The request is mandated to ensure compliance with the implementation of Chapter. 2012-29, L.O.F. (Workforce Accountability Act), specifically related to the Regional Workforce Board Membership. The 2012 Workforce Accountability Act dictates Workforce Board composition changes in the twenty-four Florida Workforce Development Boards. For compliance, adjustments of the Interlocal Agreement (Attachment B — Proposed Agreement) are recommended for your review/approval. Changes are included in “green” font. Attachment C (2013 Membership Regional Workforce Board) outlines the individual names/sectors/role for the Board of Okaloosa County Commissioners review/approval. The Workforce Development Board composition prior to the Workforce Accountability Act was at 38 members. To meet the required sector and membership number composition, the voting membership for the Workforce Board will be limited to 29 members. As required, the composition of the Board remains majority private sector driven. We thank the Board of County Commissioners for the Okaloosa County nominations and appointments of Board members serving on the Workforce Board. The member selections and appointments have been valuable in the success of the Workforce Board and activities. I would like to take this opportunity to also recognize and thank the volunteer Workforce Board members for the success of Workforce Board and Council activities. The greatest tangible contributions given by the Board and Council members are their commitment to services, personal time, efforts, and expertise. 109 8" Avenue * Shalimar, Florida 32579 * Telephone (850) 651-2315 * Fax (850) 651-3165 email: wdb02@jobsplus02.com **** www.jobsplusonestop.com JobsPlus Gu Your Workforce Solution Page Two January 14, 2013 Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners We have requested time on the January 22nd Board of County Commissioners agenda for your review and consideration of approval.
