11

 Lagging economy

About 5 million dollars to spend on workforce

services for Kane, Dekalb and Kendall Counties

Need to use the funds strategically

 Pending Workforce Investment Act

Reauthorization

 Expect more cuts to domestic programs  KCDEE is isolated

Co-located in Kane County with IDES but operate in

separate areas

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Context of Study and Recommendations

12

State monitoring reports make many

recommendations for improvement to the

  • ne-stop

Annual audit with some issues Board is needs to be the policy maker with

guidance from Chief Elected Official(s) as appropriate

KCDEE / one-stop could use a face lift

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Context of Study and Recommendations

13

The Fiscal Agency status move to the board from the one-stop

 Allow KCDEE (one stop) to focus on participants  Allow board to assume policy role  Retain board staff within the county  County finance would still maintain bank accounts and disburse

funds

Move KCDEE to Office of Community Reinvestment (OCR)

 Ahead of the curve on expected changes to legislation  OCR oversees community services grants  OCR shares a similar target population to that of KCDEE  Allow for cost efficiencies in providing client services  Allows for integration – mandatory one stop partner  Allow for rebranding of KCDEE to River Valley workNet in alignment

with state branding of one stop centers

slide-14
SLIDE 14
