Explanation

Background: The Central Ohio Workforce Investment Corporation (COWIC) is responsible for determining policy on a variety of workforce issues, recommending certification of training program providers and overseeing the establishment of the JobSight office centers for workforce development. The goal of COWIC is to ensure that Central Ohio's labor supply is prepared to meet the needs of local employers now and in the future. This legislation will authorize a grant agreement with the COWIC to provide $50,000 for lease costs associated with 1111 E. Broad Street. This support will decrease the burden of non-profits participating in workforce development programs geared at placements of unemployed residents of Columbus.

Emergency action is requested so that the lease payment can be made on time.

Fiscal Impact: This legislation appropriates $50,000 from the unallocated balance of the Neighborhood Economic Development Fund to provide support to the Central Ohio Workforce Investment Corporation for leasing costs.
