Local Plan Modification Narrative for PY07 through PY08
In accordance with the guidelines issued for PY 07 and FY 08, Employment Services of Weld County
submits the following information:
A. Economic and Labor Market Analysis
1. Describe any changes since last year's plan to the makeup of the region's economic base
including growing or declining industries and occupations and the demographics and
skills gaps of the labor pool. Identify what sources of labor market information that you are
using to identify these changes.
The Weld County economy continued to perform well in 2006 and it is our expectation that the
performance of the economy in both 2005 and 2006 establishes a realistic continued anticipation
for growth throughout 2007 and 2008. Unemployment in the county decreased from 5.4% in
2004 to 5.1% in 2005, and the rate continued to decline to 4.6% in 2006. For April 2007, the
preliminary data indicates that the unemployment rate for Weld County again continued to decline
to 3.6%. Employment numbers in the county have continued to improve and showed a 2.3%
increase from 2004 to 2005, and a 6% increase from 2005 to 2006. We anticipate that for the
remainder of 2007 and 2008, the job growth will continue to be steady.
The following chart identifies the demographics of the customers served in the workforce center
during the period of July 1, 2006 - May 31, 2007. A review of data captured for this eleven month
period shows there has been approximately a 28% increase in the total number of active job
seekers compared to the similar period last year which may be a result of the growing population
in Weld County as well as the large number of individuals from surrounding counties looking for
work at Swift due to openings resulting from the immigration raids. There was approximately a
32% increase in the number of job seekers that received staff assisted services which could also
be attributed in part to the Swift openings as well as a general increase in the County's population
growth.

projected totals due to individuals claiming more than one race/ethnicity.
Based on an analysis of local data, Weld County will focus its employer relations efforts in the
Manufacturing, Healthcare, Transportation, Office and Administrative, and Energy industry areas.
The Weld County Workforce Development Board continues to place emphasis on increasing the
availability of workers for the transportation and energy fields. In the upcoming year, we will
continue to focus marketing efforts toward the employers in the south western portion of the
county. This area has continued to see an expanding employer base and marketing efforts will
be directed towards familiarizing the employers with the services available to them through the
workforce center, as well as advertising the Employment Services satellite offices located in Del
Camino and Fort Lupton. The Weld County Workforce Development Board will continue to
analyze local data to ensure that changes in market trends are addressed.
The following chart indicates the major employers in the Greeley and Weld County area and the
changes seen in the number of jobs from last years plan.

The most recent LMI data from the Colorado LMI Gateway indicates that for 2004 the largest
major occupation group was Office and Administrative Support Occupations with 15 percent of
the total estimated employment, followed by Construction and Extraction Occupations with 11
percent, and Sales and Related Occupations also with 11 percent. Each of the industry areas
identified for targeting employer relations efforts during the next year reflect a projected job
growth from 2004 to 2014 as identified in the LMI Gateway data. The data indicate that each of
the occupation areas show a projected growth as follows: Manufacturing (14.8%); Healthcare
(26%); Transportation (15%); Office and Administrative (11%); and Energy does not reflect any
indicators in the report.
Employment Services consistently analyzes our job seeker/applicant data base to determine
whether labor supply meets the needs of the demand occupational areas. Data is also analyzed
to compare our client pool against existing job orders, proposed new business expansions, as
wells as to target employers who could benefit from the skills of our job seekers.
Supporting small businesses has been, and will continue to be a priority for Weld County. The
Greeley/Weld Small Business Development Center will continue to partner with Employment
Services to help bring services to small businesses as they are a valuable resource for referrals
for customers who are interested in small businesses opportunities. Upstate Colorado Economic
Development coordinates information and services with our office as businesses identify a work
force need.
In addition to the collaborative partnerships with agencies providing services to small businesses,
we also have developed marketing efforts specifically designed to reach the small business
owner. This includes a quarterly newsletter made available to business owners though the
various Chambers of Commerce in the county. This newsletter addresses workforce information
that may be of interest to the employers, and our local business plan addresses employer
relations and outreach. The Small Business Development Center is one of the partners in our
business services plan. As indicated later in this plan, Employment Services and Upstate
Colorado Economic Development are members of the Metro WIB and part of the WIRED grant
and will incorporate appropriate strategies identified from this collaboration as they are
developed.
2. Based on the described changes to the local economy, identify changes in your key
workforce development challenges and issues.
The transportation and energy related occupations and their labor supply shortages will continue
to be a major focus and challenge for 2007-2008.
To address transportation needs, the active recruitment of individuals to be trained in truck driving
has been and will continue to be a priority. To meet this need, a taskforce of the Weld County
Workforce Development Board was developed to identify additional strategies to meet the needs
of employers. The Weld County Workforce Development Board's Transportation Taskforce was
formed in 2005, and sponsored a very successful Professional Drivers Expo in 2006. A link for
the Professional Drivers Expo has been added to the Employment Services web site and will be
actively marketed in the upcoming year to encourage professional drivers to apply for positions
with listing employers. This site will also be used to provide occupation and resource information
for future truck drivers. Training for limited English Speakers to become CDL certified was
developed over a year ago and is offered as an alternative for employers. Another Professional
Drivers Expo is being planned for September 2007 and will again provide a venue to encourage
individuals to look into this occupation as a viable career. At the Expo interested individuals will
be able to link with training providers, and current drivers will have the opportunity to interview
with employers looking for drivers. Employers in need of drivers have been, and will continue to
be, invited to participate in our job fairs to promote employment in this area as indicated above.
Employment Services is continuing its partnership with the Rockies Workforce Energy Coalition.
This coalition represents key energy employers such as Shell, Halliburton, Encana, Key Energy,
and Suncor; representatives from education; and workforce development officials representing
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, and Utah. An Energy Employer Service Guide for
accessing the workforce system in the 5 state region was developed to assist employers using
the workforce system to meet their employment needs. A link on our web site is also being
enhanced to provide Weld County job seekers the ability to access information concerning job
openings and training available in Wyoming, Denver, and North Dakota. A collaborative effort
with Aims Community College to apply for a National Science Foundation grant is being explored.
These planning efforts will be implemented with the Regional Metro Board to develop a sector
plan for the energy industry.
Employment Services continues to work with Aims Community College to address health care
shortages. Aims shares our commitment in this area and their dedication is demonstrated by
expanding their capacity for training by building a new Allied Health Care building at the Greeley
campus.
The population growth in the southern part of Weld County will continue to require additional
emphasis and resources devoted to serving this population areas needs. Employment Services
moved into a new building in Ft. Lupton in the fall of 2006 which increases the access to services
for customers in the southeast portion of the county.
An additional challenge area that we will continue to focus on in 2007-2008 will be expanding the
employment opportunities for youth including youth with disabilities. The Youth Transitions grant
has helped to solidify our existing relationships with schools and those community based
organizations serving youth with disabilities, and as a result a collaborative plan was developed
which identifies targets and goals that we will work on for the next year.
The Call Center/Customer Service industry is experiencing a shortage in their employment sector
and the Weld County Workforce Development Board has designated a taskforce to explore ways
to address this industry sector need. Board members, representatives from the industry, and
Aims Community College will meet to explore the needs for retraining and/or training the
workforce needed to meet the industries need.
The Construction Trades industry also reflects a skill shortage in the number of qualified skilled
craftsmen as well as new entrants into this labor sector. Employment Services of Weld County,
Aims Community College, Hensel-Phelps, and Ft Lupton School District RE-8 have entered into a
strategic planning process to address this sector need.
B. Strategies/Partnerships for a Demand-Driven System within a Cross-Regional Economic
Development Context:
1. Identify changes in strategies/partnerships or new strategies/partnerships you will be
utilizing to target industries that are high-growth/high-demand, which are critical to your
local economy. Describe your strategies/partnerships for closing the skills gaps in these
industries, and to address the additional challenges and issues defined in A.2 above. In
addition, detail your expected involvement in the WIRED grant initiative, the Denver metro
regional workforce board, or other cross-regional economic development initiatives.
As mentioned in A-2 above, addressing the energy workforce shortages in the region has
resulted in a five state regional collaboration effort. We anticipate this effort will result in
increased training and employment opportunities for job seekers as well as increase the access
to the labor force for employers. We are also partnering with Aims Community College and the
Metro Workforce Board and energy sector employers to develop collaborative efforts to increase
training for this industry.
The Weld County Workforce Development Board has continued to promote and encourage
discussions concerning regional workforce collaboration. Employment Services is an active
partner in the Metro Workforce Development Board and it is expected this partnership will provide
the opportunity to increase training opportunities in demand in a variety of occupations including
energy.
As a member of the Metro WIB we will also be an active partner in the strategies developed
through the WIRED grant. The president of Upstate Colorado Economic Development and the
director of Employment Services of Weld County are members of the Metro WIB and this will help
provide the necessary linkage to connect the economic development and workforce issues in
Weld County. Employment Services of Weld County is also a partner in the Regional Business
Services Consortium. This consortium will build an infrastructure for information sharing,
collaborative efforts, and service delivery activities designed to meet the interests and need of
regional employers and job seekers across Northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming. This
effort will help establish and expand our knowledge base of emerging industries as well as a
more comprehensive knowledge of worker shortages.
Employment Services of Weld County, Upstate Colorado Economic Development Corporation
(Weld), the Northern Colorado Economic Development Corporation (Larimer), and the Larimer
County Workforce Center are collaborating in a regional underemployment study for the two
county area. This project seeks to identify and assess information concerning the regions labor
force, specifically in the area of underemployment, as well as the labor force skill sets that are
under utilized.
Employment Services is also collaborating with the Adams County Workforce Region in a project
to help meet the needs of employers who are a part of the Colorado Contractor's Association.
With Adams County taking the lead in the project, a process is being developed with a goal of
assisting the over 180 employers in the Association in hiring for the shortages they are
experiencing in craft workers. Once established, this process will identify the variety and levels of
services each workforce region is able to provide to these employers, as wells as serve as a tool
for employers in this industry sector concerning how to access the workforce system services.
As mentioned earlier, the customer services inbound call center industry is experiencing
shortages in their labor force. The Weld County Workforce Development Board has established
a task force to look at this issue and develop strategies to respond to this industry's workforce
needs.
2. Describe the region's strategies/partnerships to redirect local resources to increased
training opportunities for clients and employers. For purposes of this plan, training
activities may include ITAs, OJTs, customized training, work experience (adult and youth);
tutoring and alternative secondary school youth program elements, and ESL, GED,
diploma, KeyTrain/WIN (etc.), and literacy classes. Regions should view all these activities
as part of a training package/voucher for clients and employers that may be awarded to
them in a manner similar to an ITA or an OJT.
In addition:
i. Describe additional activities you will initiate that involve client acquisition of job
related skills, and the percentage of funds that will be used to support them.
Employment Services believes that the Northern Colorado/Wyoming collaborative effort
should assist both job seekers as well as our employers by providing them with a better
understanding of different labor market needs as well as available training resources and
opportunities. It is also possible that additional collaborative efforts may occur between the
community colleges to increase training opportunities in a variety of occupations including the
development curriculum for training individuals in the skills needed for the job opportunities in
the area of energy, health care, nanotechnology, etc.
Employment Services is engaging employers in discussions around the utilization of
WorkKeys and Key Train as a resource to increase the skills of their incumbent workers and
provide them with certificates of competency for higher level positions with potential for
increased wages. As part of this effort, in 2006 Employment Services set aside a portion of
our Dislocated Worker funds to develop an incumbent worker project with Plastic Arts, a local
manufacturer of plastic packaging and components for the medical, high tech, retail and food
industries. The project purpose is to upgrade the skills of Plastic Arts current employees
using the WorkKeys assessments which will allow the company to upgrade their resources,
equipment, and employee skills to work with new manufacturing processes and technology to
maintain a competitive edge in the global arena. Additionally, it is anticipated that this project
will assist the employer in establishing a screening process for future hires based on
WorkKeys assessments.
The additional use of tools for ESL, literacy classes, Key Train/WIN, GED, ITAs, OJTs, etc.
will be utilized for clients and employers as needed and as appropriate. The credential policy
approved by the Colorado Workforce Council will be used to award certificates/credentials of
competency based on the WorkKeys assessments.
WorkKeys and KeyTrain are made available to our clients and the public through our
Learning Lab. It is anticipated that increased use of these tools will take place during 2007-
2008 due to the marketing efforts that will take place after the pilot project under our
Dislocated Worker set aside is completed. The ability to award certificates/credentials to
youth for performance purposes, as well as the project with Adams County to meet the hiring
needs of the Colorado Contractors Association will also have an impact on the utilization of
WorkKeys assessments.
ii. Describe how you would set up a system to award the training vouchers for all training
activities described.
The existing processes for training activities such as ITAs, OJTs, customized training, work
experience placements, GED, ESL, etc., for adults, dislocated workers and youth have been
described in the Weld County 5 year WIA plan and its subsequent modifications
Employment Services has not identified how we would develop a voucher system for
activities such as GED, work experience, OJT and is unsure exactly how that system would
be set up as we either deliver the services such as GED, ESL, and literacy training ourselves,
or in the case of OJT and work experience placements, place clients directly with employers.
If other regions have strategies and processes developed in these areas, Employment
Services would like to review those processes and if appropriate, would develop local policies
which would then be forwarded to CDLE.
iii. Identify what percentage of each funding stream for PY07 (total Adult, DW, Youth, and
Grand Total)will be utilized for the direct costs of training opportunities. Include all
direct costs (tuition, books,supportive services,tutors, etc.) associated with the
expanded training activities list above. (These percentages can be obtained from
attachment#4 - PY07 Local Plan Modification Budget and Service Levels [column 6,
rows 14, 20, 24, and 29], and copied into your plan narrative.)
Based upon data from performance and expenditure reports, Employment Services currently
expends over 50-60% of its funds on training activities typically considered as training in the
Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth programs. It is anticipated that we will continue to
expend a similar percentage in each of the funding streams for these specified training
activities.
Based upon the guidelines established above which directs regions to include all costs such
as books, supportive services, tutors, etc., and assuming that direct staff costs associated
with the delivery of these services would also be considered as a training cost, Employment
Services' estimates that the majority of costs, with the obvious exception of administrative
costs, would then be associated with training. It is our estimate that approximately 50-60% of
funds will be spent on training activities.
iv. Identify partner agencies that contribute to the costs of training your WIA clients and
specify their direct financial or in kind contribution to the training costs. For example:
Pell grants, costs of instructors for customized training, etc. This data should be
presented in a chart format.
We expect our collaborative partnerships will continue to grow. Aims Community College,
the Weld County Department of Social Services, and others have provided a continuum of
services to help meet our customers' training needs, and we anticipate that these
relationships will not only continue but will be expanded as well.
New partnerships continue to be made with the key players, workforce regions, and
workforce boards in Northern Colorado and Wyoming. A regional meeting was held in April
of 2005 and a second meeting was held in the fall of 2005 with the key stakeholders from
these areas and we expect that from these meetings a variety of task forces will continue to
be developed to address the key strategic areas concerning workforce development. We
continue to believe task forces will be developed to discuss/review education, new training
and technology development, economic development, as well as other areas.
The following chart identifies partner agencies and their contributions to the training costs for
our WIA clients.
Partner Agency Type of Contribution
Aims Community College In Kind - reserved slots for some courses, Pell grants,
ESL, etc.
Department of Social Services Training and supporting service funds for co-enrolled
(i.e. TANF/WIA) individuals
Right-to-Read Adult Basic Education services
Bueno Hep Adult Basic Education, GED, ESL services
v. What percentage of training-related placements do you anticipate for all training
activities described above? These percentages can be obtained from the EA planned
participation charts contained in attachment#6. Copy the 4th quarter figures for Adult,
DW, Older Youth, and Younger Youth into your plan narrative.
When considering a training related placement would be taken according to CDLE guidance
as long as the client met the identified goals included in their Individual Employment Plan
(IEP), or in the case of youth their Individual Service Strategy (ISS), Employment Services
anticipates the percentage for training related placements will be 25-35%.
C. Strategies for Serving Youth Most in Need
1. Please identify youth target groups that you will be serving,who are most in need.
Describe any changes in strategies your region may pursue to serve these individuals.
Also, identify changes in the youth program for PY06 that will support the implementation
of the provisions of TEGL 17-05, Common Measures Policy.
Weld County has consistently targeted and provided integrated and comprehensive services to
those youth most in need including drop-outs, offenders, foster care youth, homeless youth, as
well as other at-risk youth. As a result of us serving these categories of youth for over sixteen
years, we have developed very good strategies and relationships with numerous agencies
including the probation department,juvenile justice, Senate Bill 94, the Weld County Department
of Social Services, local school districts, alternative high schools, and a variety local community
based and faith based organizations. These relationships have allowed us to design programs
that best meet the needs of the hard to serve youth populations in Weld County and the ability to
receive referrals as well as collaborate in the delivery of services as needed and appropriate.
Employment Services invested in and developed a computerized learning lab over sixteen years
ago which is designed to provide educational services to individuals in need of a GED or those
who are in need of remedial activities to assist them in obtaining employment. Over the years we
have enhanced the services provided by the lab to include a wide variety of assessments and
training components and among these are WorkKeys and KeyTrain. The lab has proven to be
both beneficial and successful in providing alternative education opportunities to at-risk youth
populations.
As we have developed our south county offices in both Del Camino and Fort Lupton areas, we
included computer systems that have the ability to link to the lab. Through the use of the
computerized learning environment, it has been shown that drop-out youth make a stronger
connection to their assigned educational activities than they would in a regular classroom
environment. Employment Services will continue to utilize the learning lab to provide educational
opportunities and services to youth.
As discussed earlier, Employment Services has well established linkages with the various school
districts and alternative schools in the Weld County area, the Weld County Department of Social
Services, the juvenile justice systems including the courts and the probation department, and the
various community based and faith based organizations to serve the at-risk youth population.
Our strategies for serving at risk youth will be to continue our existing collaborative efforts with
these agencies/departments as well as to develop new collaborations as the need arises.
Employment Services has and will continue to introduce younger youth to the various health
occupations by utilizing the Gee Whiz Health Camp. Employment Services of Weld County and
Aims Community College continue to collaborate with North Colorado Medical Center(NCMC),
the University of Northern Colorado (UNC), Bonell Good Samaritan Center and Medline to
continue to partner in the delivery of the Gee Whiz Health Camp program. This program is
designed to familiarize youth ages 14-15 with health care occupations and the types of working
environments utilizing a"see, touch, experience and share" format. The camp operates for four
days during the summer and offers a variety of experiences related to the medical field.
Strategies identified by the Youth Council that we will continue to work on include:
• Designing and refining programs so they can become increasingly responsive to
business needs by sponsoring employer focus groups, surveying employers regarding
youth employment opportunities, and sponsoring or assisting in a variety of job fairs each
year
• Recommending goals and objectives for youth programs and systems and trying to align
performance goals and objectives for all youth workforce development programs
including those outside of the Workforce Investment Act
• Continuing to analyze the short and long term labor needs of employers, especially as it
applies to youth
• Developing an integrated model between the AmeriCorps and out of school youth
program
• Developing new alternatives to serve at risk youth
• Marketing and monitoring the Multi-Disciplinary Youth Assessment Team
• Marketing and monitoring health care initiatives to increase the number of youth entering
the health care field
• Monitoring, revising, and expanding the TIGHT Youth Corps Program
• Developing and implementing the Pillars for Successful Independence (PSI) to serve 13-
15 year old foster care youth to prepare them for the Chafee program and to enhance
their ability to become independent.
As the Colorado Workforce Development Council is/has identified and obtains approved
recognition of certificates/credentials from a variety of standards endorsed by state agencies, the
Weld County Workforce Development Board will seek approval for credentials for youth
participants that meet those standards. The Weld County Workforce Development Board
determined that youth who score level three and above on the WorkKeys assessments will be
awarded a certificate/credential of competency, assuming that the state receives approval from
the US Department of Labor in this area to count this toward a youth credential/certificate as
identified in the common measures.
2. Provide a description of any other types of changes that will occur in your youth program
or any youth initiatives related to the WIRED grant or cross-regional economic
development activities.
As mentioned previously, Employment Services has developed a number of strategies that focus
on serving Weld County youth. Employment Services submitted for and was awarded a
continuation grant for our AmeriCorps program in 2006 and applied again in 2007. Workforce
Investment Act(WIA) Youth, Weld County Youth Conservation Corps (WCYCC) Junior Corps
youth, and other youth, have the opportunity participate in the WCYCC AmeriCorps Program to
learn a variety of skills and earn money for college.
We have developed a program, funded by the Weld County Department of Social Services, to
serve 14 and 15 year old youth who are in foster care. The first two years that youth are in this
program will focus on increasing the developmental assets of the youth and this includes such
things as refusal skills training, sexual abstinence, increasing social skills, increasing skills in
reading and math, basic career exploration, initial work experiences, etc. As youth progress and
turn sixteen, they will become involved with the Chafee program through the Department of
Social Services and will also be considered for participation in the WIA youth program and its
activities.
As a member of the Metro Workforce Investment Board (WIB), and a partner in the WIRED grant,
Employment Services will be actively involved in the development and implementation of the
goals and objectives established through the grant and will also participate in the various panels
that will be convened. Planning continues to be the primary activity that will take place in the
WIRED grant for 2007-2008, however, we will share information obtained from the higher
education panel of the grant with the thirteen K-12 school districts in Weld County, as well as with
Aims Community College and the University of Northern Colorado. As potential programs and
initiatives are explored and/or developed, the Weld County Youth Council and the Weld County
Workforce Board will convene the appropriate partners to determine next steps. We are currently
working with the WIRED grant to determine how we can support the projects funded under the
first round of pilots.
The WIRED grant will provide the system with a wealth of information concerning careers in the
bio-science, aerospace, energy, and information technology sectors. As it becomes available,
this information will be integrated in our work with youth as they identify, select, and work towards
career paths.
As mentioned previously, we are currently in collaboration with Aims Community College, Hensel-
Phelps, and Ft Lupton School District RE-8 to implement a construction trade's partnership to
serve youth and we anticipate this effort will also tie into the Adams County collaboration for the
construction trades sector.
D. Organizational/Infrastructure/Partnership Changes
1. Describe organizational changes that occurred during PY06 and indicate organizational
changes that you anticipate for PY07 through PY08. Explain the reasons for the anticipated
changes.
There were no significant organizational changes in PY 06 and Employment Services does not
anticipate that there will be any significant changes in PY 07. A number of staff positions were
added to accommodate the delivery of services.
2. Provide a copy of your latest organizational chart. On the chart or on a separate page,
indicate the gross annual salary for each position.
The organization chart with gross annual salary to each staff is included as Attachment 2.
Salaries identified do not include fringe amounts
3. Identify any new system building initiatives that you plan to undertake (e.g. expansion of
your resource room, new services at a particular location, new satellite offices, etc.) during
PY07 through PY08. In addition, describe any new technology improvements or initiatives
that are being planned.
During PY 06 Employment Services invested in increasing our ability to use technology with our
customer groups through the installation of two Smart Classroom systems, a wireless laptop
computer cart and other products to allow us to deliver large group registrations, training,
celebrations, etc. The addition of this technology will allow us more flexibility in developing
workshops and employer information sessions with the added ability to do training utilizing on line
resources that all participants can be a part of at the same time.
4. Describe planned staff training including training that will increase the capacity of staff to
serve language assistance customers
All staff have been provided a copy of the Employment Services of Weld County Language
assistance plan and were provided the opportunity to provide their input. Staff members will
review and become familiar with the Language Assistance Guide, resource directory, and other
tools available through e-Colorado.
5. Identify any planned changes to partnership agreements/cost sharing agreements
including community and faith based organizations.
There are no planned changes to any of our partnership agreements at this time.
E. Streamlined and Integrated Services/Use of Waivers for Flexibility and Innovation
1. Describe any planned programmatic changes that may result in more streamlined and
integrated service delivery.
The increased technology available win the Smart Classrooms will allow us to deliver large group
registrations as well as interactive training for our customer groups.
2. Describe how the language assistance services (as detailed in your Language Assistance
Plan) will be integrated with your overall client services strategies.
Employment Services of Weld County believes our language assistance services are currently
well integrated with our client service strategies in both the Wagner Peyser and WIA programs.
We will continue to provide bilingual staff and bilingual printed materials to our customers as
appropriate.
3. Indicate what new waivers might be needed in order to effectively serve those needing
language assistance services.
We do not anticipate that there will be any waiver needed to effectively serve those needing
language assistance services as we already serve those populations of individuals.
4. Describe how your outreach to potential language assistance customers will be integrated
with your overall outreach strategies, including how services to this population will be
marketed through websites or other mechanisms.
The Weld County Language Assistance Plan details the outreach process and is included as
Attachment 3. Outreach to the ELL will be provided through outreach tools made available in the
community and which are translated into Spanish. Employment Services currently collaborates
with various community service agencies such as The Grove Neighborhood Network which offers
various educational and employment services. We will also plans to increase outreach to ELL
customers by increasing public service announcements on Spanish-speaking radio and increase
usage of the La Tribuna publication printed by the Greeley Tribune.
5. Discuss the region's intent to utilize the State's proposed waivers identified below.
Regions wishing to implement these waivers effective July 1, 2007, should include the
transfers and set-asides in the original EA for PY07. (The State will be requesting a two-
year extension of these waivers as part of its PY07-PY08 state plan modification.)
i. Up to 100% transfer of funds between the Adult and Dislocated Worker formula-allocated
funding streams (Note: Regions taking advantage of this waiver must still meet their
responsibility to provide a full range of services to Adults or Dislocated Workers and
meet the performance standards for these programs.)
Employment Services does not anticipate utilizing the waiver to transfer 100% of its funds
between the Adult and Dislocated Worker funding streams. In the event funds need to be
transferred to meet an unforeseen demand for services for either of these programs,
Employment Services will submit an Expenditure Authorization Modification requesting the
appropriate transfer of funds to meet the identified need.
ii. Set-aside of formula funds for discretionary projects (Refer to PGL#05-06-WIA for more
detailed information on set-aside grants. Up to 50% of Adult or Dislocated Worker funds
can be set-aside; up to 25% of Youth funds can be set aside.)
At this time, Employment Services has not identified any specific project(s) that would utilize the
25% set aside for local discretionary projects. If, and when, we identify a project that would be
appropriate for the set aside and determine funds need to be transferred, Employment Services
will submit an Expenditure Authorization Modification requesting the appropriate transfer of
funds and submit an Expenditure Authorization identifying the project and its anticipated
outcomes.
F. Fiscal/Performance Outcomes
1. Indicate what strategies you will be using to meet a 70% average expenditure rate for all
years of WIA Adult, DW, and Youth funds available to be spent in PY07.
Employment Services routinely reviews expenditures and obligations. Financial reports are
reviewed on a monthly basis by the Employment Services director, fiscal officer, and program
managers to review the current expenditures as well as to evaluate the projected levels of
expenditures. Based upon these reviews, adjustments in client recruitment, training levels, time
allocations, etc are made as appropriate. Modifications to plans will submitted as necessary to
adjust or transfer funds and adjust client service levels as warranted.
2. Indicate which PY06 performance outcomes may fall below 100% and what strategies you
will be using to achieve 100% of your performance goals.
As of the most recent data available for the third quarter of PY 06 Weld County is currently below
the 100% level for the following: the Adult 6 Month Retention Rate (achieved 98.7% of standard);
the Adult Average Wage (achieved 89.8% of standard); the Dislocated Worker 6 Month Retention
Rate (achieved 99.8% of standard); and the Dislocated Worker Average Wage (achieved 83.9%
of standard). Employment Services is exceeding the minimum of 80% of the federal standard in
all areas and we anticipate that a few of the standards that are below the 100% mark will increase
to over the 100% level when final data is available. Weld County will continue to monitor and
implement strategies designed to increase performance which include a review wage data to
ensure post program target wages are identified, increased follow-up contacts including additional
emphasis on wage improvement efforts after exit to employment, exit date management, and
ensuring supplemental data is recorded as soon as it is obtained.
Weld County does not anticipate that any standards will fall below the 100% level for PY 07 but
until common measures standards are identified and negotiated will not be able to ascertain
expected outcomes at this time. Weld County continues to believe that performance standards
should be negotiated based upon the regions local labor market and economic conditions. Weld
County wages continue to be one of the lowest along the Front Range and data shows that the
per-capita income for Weld County ranges from $3,000 to approximately $22,000 lower than
other Front Range Counties and this trend continues (and widens) when Median Household and
Median Family incomes are considered. Demographic and economic data should be considered
when negotiating the common performance measure for average wage.
3. Identify additional administrative, or Adult or Dislocated Worker program/process changes
that will be necessary to implement TEGL 17-05, Common Measures Policy, during PY07.
Indicate what actions will be taken to achieve these changes.
Employment Services does not foresee that any additional administrative, program or process
changes will be required to implement TELL 17-05 at this time. If it is identified that changes will
need to be made in the future, Employment Services will provide CDLE copies of any new
policies or process changes. To meet the Literacy/Numeracy gains for the WIA Youth program,
Employment Services instituted a process where we require the youth to post test with the TABE
(the same instrument used for pre-testing when the youth enters the program) as the final step of
identifying if the youth is ready to test for their GED. This post TABE test used for
literacy/Numeracy gain identifications will be administered prior to the youth being referred out for
GED testing.
4. Stand-In Costs: These are defined as costs that are paid by non-Federal funds for activities
that directly benefit the program. One example is the time of a county attorney or
accountant that is not charged to WIA or Wagner-Peyser, but has impact on the program.
This can also include free advertising and board member donations. It is to the advantage
of each workforce region to identify and report such costs because they can be used to
avoid repayment of any disallowed costs. Please describe how the region plans to identify
stand-in costs for PY07. (See PGL#01-14-F1 for more information on how to report stand-
in costs to CDLE.)
Employment Services will continue to work on identifying stand-in costs for PY 07.
Documentation concerning the value of time, goods or services will be obtained from the provider
of the services or goods or copies of receipts or donation letters will be made. A file of these
costs will be maintained in the Division of Human Services fiscal office and Employment Services
will adhere to the guidelines established under PGL 01-14-F1 for reporting stand-in costs.
5. Please attach a copy of the region's latest Cost Allocation Plan.
A copy of the Weld County cost allocation plan is included as Attachment 4.

• Provide a brief summary of the client groups and business sectors that will be targeted for PY
07 through PY 08 and the reasons for selecting them.
Weld County intends to serve the following client target groups:
• Adult-Weld County will serve unemployed adults who need and can benefit from additional
assistance in obtaining a job, and will continue to target low income, unemployed individuals for
services under the WIA Adult Program. Weld County will continue to focus services to these
populations groups to ensure that those most in need are provided the necessary services to
assist them in obtaining employment. A number of individuals who do not meet these guidelines
will be served; however, our focus will continue to be on serving those individuals that do.
• Dislocated Workers -Weld County will continue to serve individuals who meet the eligibility as
outlined in the Workforce Investment Act, including those who are identified under the UI Profiling
System.
• Youth -Weld County will continue to focus its services to eligible out of school youth and a limited
amount of eligible in school youth. The primary focus of services will be towards the out of school
youth population, particularly those who have dropped out of school.
• Wagner Peyser- Weld County will continue to provide priority services to veterans and targeted
services to migrant and seasonal farm workers. The Triage Targeted Populations Program
focuses more intensive services to monolingual individuals, ex-offenders, and individuals with
disabilities. The Weld County Disability Program Navigator will continue to focus on increasing
access to services in the workforce system for people with disabilities.
Based on an analysis of local data, Weld County will focus its employer relations efforts in the
Manufacturing, Healthcare, Transportation, Office and Administrative, and Energy industry areas. The
Weld County Workforce Development Board continues to place emphasis on increasing the
availability of workers for the transportation and energy fields. In the upcoming year, we will continue
to focus marketing efforts toward the employers in the south western portion of the county. This area
has continued to see an expanding employer base and marketing efforts will be directed towards
familiarizing the employers with the services available to them through the workforce center, as well
as advertising the Employment Services satellite offices located in Del Camino and Fort Lupton. The
Weld County Workforce Development Board will continue to analyze local data to ensure that
changes in market trends are addressed.
The most recent LMI data from the Colorado LMI Gateway indicates that for 2004 the largest major
occupation group was Office and Administrative Support Occupations with 15 percent of the total
estimated employment, followed by Construction and Extraction Occupations with 11 percent, and
Sales and Related Occupations also with 11 percent. Each of the industry areas identified for
targeting employer relations efforts during the next year reflect a projected job growth from 2004 to
2014 as identified in the LMI Gateway data. The data indicate that each of the occupation areas show
a projected growth as follows: Manufacturing (14.8%); Healthcare (26%); Transportation (15%); Office
and Administrative (11%); and Energy does not reflect any indicators in the report.
Employment Services consistently analyzes our job seeker/applicant data base to determine whether
labor supply meets the needs of the demand occupational areas. Data is also analyzed to compare
our client pool against existing job orders, proposed new business expansions, as wells as to target
employers who could benefit from the skills of our job seekers.
• Provide a brief summary of the program initiatives, goals and objectives that will be
undertaken in PY 07 through PY 08 for each WIA program and the Wagner-Peyser program.
The following is a brief summary of the program initiatives, goals and objectives that Weld County will
undertake for PY 07:
• A focus will continue to be made to serve low-income, unemployed individuals in the Adult
Program. The Dislocated worker Program will continue to keep the option of utilizing the UI
Profiling System as a recruitment tool. Staff will continue to provide coverage in all areas and the
South Weld County offices will be open more days per week.
• The utilization of technology in our Smart Classrooms and the Employment Services resource
room will be utilized as a means to provide workshops to assist individuals in acquiring the job
seeking skills needed to find and secure employment as well as to assist them in expanding their
job search beyond the local economy. The technology in the Smart Classrooms will also
potentially be utilized to due group registrations.
• The Disability Program Navigator (DPN)will continue to focus on increasing the access of
individuals with disabilities to services in the workforce system. The DPN will also continue to
train staff in disability issues and increase their skills to ensure that individuals with disabilities are
aware of and encouraged to use the workforce center resources and services.
• The satellite offices at the Del Camino South Weld County Office Complex and the office in Fort
Lupton will continue to receive intensive marketing efforts and employer relations services
towards the businesses in south Weld County. These offices will offer the full array of services 2-
3 days per week. A new office was opened in the Ft. Lupton area in 2006 and this has provided
us the ability to include computer resource access for our customers in that area.
• The period of 2007-2008 will include initiatives in: continuing to expanding health care, energy,
and construction opportunities; Workforce Board Development activities; continuous improvement
activities through CPEX which include pursuing the Foothills and Timberline recognitions;
continued implementation of the State Alignment grant for improving transitions outcomes for
youth with disabilities through the use of intermediaries; expanding options for youth who are
involved in the social services or juvenile justice systems through the use of the TIGHT Youth
Corps model; and the implementation of the Pillars of Successful Independence program which
will work with 13-15 year old foster care youth in the acquisition of employment, education, life,
and social skills.
• We continue to anticipate that the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and the
Workforce Development Council will determine the historical trends of the Wagner-Peyser
Program when negotiating and establishing the performance standards for this program. Once
these standards are identified, Weld County will respond to any program changes that may be
necessary to ensure standards are met.
• The Weld County Workforce Development Board and Employment Services of Weld County have
identified several areas that it will direct its resources and time on for the next ear. These focus
areas are identified in the WIA Plan Modification for PY 07. Some of these areas include the
continuation of Disability Program Navigator to increase the workforce system's ability to respond
to individuals with disabilities, increase the involvement of faith based and community based
organizations in the workforce system, refine the continuous improvement process for
Employment Services of Weld County, and continue to implement an intensive marketing plan
that complements the statewide marketing plan developed by the Colorado Workforce
Development Council.
• The Weld County Workforce Development Board will continue to work with Aims Community
College and other partners to increase health career, energy, construction trades, customer
services and other training options.
• The Weld County Workforce Development Board will also continue to work closely with Upstate
Colorado Economic Development in assisting existing businesses to grow and expand and in
bringing new businesses into the County.
• The Weld County Workforce Development Board will continue its efforts with the Larimer County
and Wyoming Workforce Development Boards concerning regional collaboration efforts.
• Weld County is a member of the Metro Workforce Investment Board and as a result the Weld
County Workforce Investment Board (WIB)will be actively involved in the WIRED grant. As the
Metro WIB identifies industry specific worker shortage problems, the Weld County Workforce
Board will address the training and shortage issues as they apply to Weld County.
• Complete the following chart for PY 07 only,which does not include carry-in or transfer funds.

REVISED APRIL 2007
Revised 4/07
CERTIFICATION OF COST ALLOCATION PLAN
This is to certify that I have reviewed the cost allocation plan submitted herewith
and to the best of my knowledge and belief:
1. All the costs covered by this proposal revised April 2007, to establish the
cost allocation method for calendar year 2007 on, are allowable and in
accordance with the requirements of OMB Circular A-87 and the
requirements to the Federal awards to which they apply.
2. All costs covered by this proposal are properly allocable to the Federal
awards on the basis of a beneficial or causal relationship between the
expenses incurred and the awards to which they are allocated in
accordance with the applicable requirements. Further, similar types of
costs have been accounted for consistently.
I declare that the foregoing is true and correct.

COST ALLOCATION PLAN
PURPOSE
The purpose of this cost allocation plan is to outline, in writing, the methods and
procedures that Weld County Division of Human Services will use to allocate costs to its
various programs, contracts and grants.
BACKGROUND
Weld County Division of Human Services (DHS) operates as an umbrella agency
of Weld County Government. DHS is the administrative entity for various federal and
state programs, grants and contracts. These programs are grouped into four areas:
Employment Services, Family Educational Network, Area Agency on Aging and Other
Human Service. Employment Services include the following grants and contracts:
Workforce Investment Act Grant programs; Wagner/Peyser programs; Summer Job
Hunt; Employment First Food Stamp/Job Search Program; Workfare; TANF; TIGHT;
Americorps; National Emergency Grants; various Department of Local Affairs contracts;
and, the Educational Computer Lab. Family Educational Network consists of the
following revenue sources and programs: Regional Head Start; Migrant Head Start; Child
Care Food Program; Building Healthy Marriages; and State Preschool. Area Agency on
Aging incorporates Older American Act funds into several senior programs. It also relies
on USDA funds for senior nutrition programs; Community Service Block Grant Funds
for coordinating the senior volunteer program; Federal Transit Funds for senior minibus
transportation; Single Entry Point Funds; and Private Contracts for senior case
management. Other Human Service programs and funding include: Community Service
Block Grant; and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program. Annual budgets for all
DHS grants and funds are stated in the Weld County Calendar Year Budget Book.
These grants require that DHS complies with OMB Circular A-102, Uniform
Administrative Requirements for State and Local Governments and OMB Circular A-87,
Cost Principles for State and Local Governments. This Cost Allocation Plan is based on
the definitions and requirements spelled out in OMB Circular A-87.
GENERAL APPROACH
The general approach of DHS in allocating costs to particular programs, grants
and contract is as follows:
A) All costs identifiable with a specific program, grants or contracts are
charged directly to the benefiting program.
B) Unassigned direct costs are assigned to cost pools and are allocated
monthly, based on monthly time sheet distribution percentages of the
personnel assigned to each particular cost pool. For example, the
percentages taken against the Employment Services cost pool only come
from Employment Services staff and are allocated only to the programs
served by the Employment Services staff.
ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY
DHS uses six cost pools:
1) Transportation Cost Pool
This pool is used to accumulate all the joint costs associated with running
DHS' Transportation Department which provides minibus transportation
for several of our programs. This pool includes transportation staff
salaries, fringe benefits, and all transportation operational costs.
2) Employment Services Cost Pool
This pool is used to accumulate all the joint costs associated with the
operations of Employment Services, including: Employment Services staff
salaries; fringe benefits; and, other costs which cannot be directly
identified to a program.
3) Area Agency on Aging Cost Pool
This pool is used to accumulate all salary and fringe benefit costs and joint
costs associated with Area Agency on Aging employees and programs.
4) Administrative Cost Pool
This pool includes all administrative salaries, fringe benefits, overhead
and other joint costs associated with administering all DHS programs that
cannot be directly identified to a grant or contract. For example: ground
maintenance; utilities;janitorial; those types of general overhead costs that
serve the entire agency.
5) FENWC Cost Pool
This pool is used to accumulate all the joint costs associated with the
operations of Family Educational Network of Weld County, including
FENWC staff salaries and fringe benefits, as well as other costs which
cannot be directly identified to a specific program.
6) Client Payroll Pool
This pool is used to accumulate all the client payroll expense, salary and
fringe benefits, from all programs.
TRANSPORTATION COST POOL
The Transportation Department system tracks client miles and trips associated
with each program served. These figures are accumulated into a monthly report. Monthly
percentages of miles per program are calculated for the period. The percentages are taken
against the total transportation department costs for the month. The amounts are allocated
from the pool to the program (fund) receiving benefit.
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES COST POOL
Monthly time sheets are kept by all Employment Services employees noting their
time per month per program served. Monthly the time worked per program is entered into
a spreadsheet which calculates total time percentages per program weighted by rates of
pay. The time/rate percentages are taken against this pool of costs and are allocated to
grants served accordingly.
AREA AGENCY ON AGING SERVICES COST POOL
Monthly time sheets are kept by all Area Agency on Aging employees noting
their time per month, per program served. Monthly the time worked per program is
entered into a spreadsheet which calculates total time percentages per programs weighted
by rates of pay. Monthly the time/rate percentages are taken against this pool of costs and
are allocated to grants served accordingly.
ADMINISTRATIVE COST POOL
Monthly time sheets are kept by all Administrative staff noting their time per
month per program served. Monthly the time worked per program is entered into a
spreadsheet which calculates total time percentages per program weighted by rates of
pay. The time/rate percentages are taken against this pool of costs and are allocated to
grants served accordingly.
FENWC COST POOL
Monthly time sheets are kept by all FENWC staff noting their time per program
served. The time worked per program is entered into a spreadsheet which calculates total
time percentages per program weighted by rates of pay. The time/rate percentages are
taken against this pool of costs and are allocated to grants served accordingly.
CLIENT PAYROLL POOL
A monthly payroll log is sent from County Payroll. The DHS Fiscal Tech
identifies, by time sheets, what program each client is associated with on the payroll log.
A manual journal entry is done monthly to move the salary and fringe benefits from the
pool to the fund/grant that the client is directly associated with.
GENERAL LEDGER ACCOUNTING
Weld County uses a uniform classification of accounts for all general ledger
departments. Each grant or program is its own general ledger department (fund). All
direct costs are charged directly to the particular department it served. All allocated costs
are entered into the ledger by journal entry --- from the pools to the grant departments.
Each allocated line item is coded so it can be identified as to cost pool source. Each
expense, whether direct or allocated, is also coded with a program code to charge it
against the cost category defined by the grant.
REPORTING
Most grant programs are on a monthly reporting. Each general ledger department
is printed for the time period to report. The department carries the calendar year-to-date
totals for each cost category of expenses. Monthly reports are derived from the difference
between current year-to-date and previous year-to-date totals. The balance for the cost
category is transferred to the report for the current period. The ledger report is the
documentation of costs and backup to reported expenditures.
