WHEREAS, WIOA Section 121(b)(2)(A) provides that both required and additional partners are
Partners for the local area. Therefore, all entities that participate in the local area of Weld County
service delivery system as Partners, whether required or additional, must be Parties to this MOU

A. One -Stop Partner Services: Exhibit A hereto sets forth the specific services that the Parties

if, for any reason, Exhibit A no longer accurately or completely describes the services
provided by the Parties.
B. Cost Sharing
1. Negotiation of the Infrastructure Funding Agreement (`IFA')
The Colorado Workforce Development Council (`CWDC"), with the authority of the
Governor, provides that (a) each Partner that operates in the Local Area is required to begin
contributing its Proportionate Share of the Total Costs of operating each comprehensive
and affiliate one -stop center in the Local Area (`One -Stop Delivery System Budget'); (b)
the cost sharing methodology must be decided by consensus agreement among the LWDB,
the CEO, and all the Parties; (c) if any Party fails to agree to a IFA that meets the
requirements set forth by the CWDC the State will implement the State Funding
Mechanism to determine each Partner's Contribution.
The Parties agree to participate in good faith in the negotiation of an IFA that meets all
requirements set forth by the CWDC. At a minimum, the IFA should (a) specify the
effective time period, which may be different from that of the duration of the MOU; (b)
identify the Infrastructure Costs, Shared Costs and Total Costs; (c) identify the formula
used to calculate Proportionate Share; (d) identify the CEO, the LWDB, and the Parties
participating in the IFA; and (e) establish a process by which the Parties will reconcile the
Total Costs, the Proportionate Share and the Partner Contribution at least once per quarter
throughout the term of the IFA. Upon agreement, any IFAs for the local area shall be
incorporated as legally binding components of this MOU as if fully set forth herein, and
shall be attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit B.
The Parties agree that (a) the Infrastructure Costs, Shared Costs and Total Costs will be
calculated using actual cost data, where possible, or reasonable cost estimates, where actual
data is not available; (b) the cost data or estimates underlying the calculation of the
Infrastructure Costs, Shared Costs and Total Costs will be disclosed to the Partners; (c) the
methodology for calculating each Partner's Proportionate Share of the Total Costs will be
determined through a reasonable cost allocation methodology that assigns costs to Partners
in proportion to relative benefits received; (d) the Parties will negotiate in good faith to
identify the methodology as well as the formula by which each Partner will make the
Partner Contribution and to establish a process by which the Parties will reconcile the Total
Costs, the Proportionate Share and the Partner Contribution at least once per quarter

DocuSign Envelope ID: 03914F6E-71D1-4892-9E05-5D1FFD7C85ED
throughout the term of the IFA; and (e) in negotiating the IFA, the Parties will comply with
both the letter and the spirit of the WIOA law, regulations, Office of Management and
Budget Circulars, and CWDC-issued policy guidance.
2. Abide by State Funding Mechanism, if Implemented, Subject to the Appeals Process
If the Parties fail to agree to an IFA that meets the requirements of the CWDC, the State
will implement the State Funding Mechanism to determine each Partner's Contribution.
As applicable, (a) the Parties agree to abide by the terms of the State Funding Mechanism,
if implemented, subject to the appeals process set forth by the CWDC; and (b) the Partners
who are not subject to the State Funding Mechanism agree that, if the State Funding
Mechanism is implemented, such Partner will continue in good faith to negotiate an IFA
that meets the requirements of the CWDC.
III. PROVISIONS
A. Termination of MOU
(t) Any Party wishing to terminate this MOU must provide written notice, by certified
mail, return receipt requested, stating its intent to terminate to the other Parties at least
thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination of the MOU. All rights and
obligations of the Parties under this MOU shall cease on the effective date of such

incurred and the Parties' confidentiality obligations under Paragraph IV.B.

is no longer eligible to participate as a Partner with the Local Workforce system
and will not be permitted to serve on the LWDB as a Partner representative.

administer the federal program in the Area and therefore no longer qualifies as a
required Partner under WIOA Section 121(b)(1) must send written notice of the
change in status to all the Parties as soon as possible. In such an event, a formal
amendment to this MOU per Paragraph B of this Article will be required. The entity

and the remaining Partners.
B. Modifications and Amendments

(3)
The Parties may modify an exhibit attached to this MOU without written amendment
to the MOU; provided, however, that no such modification to an exhibit shall result in

amount of cost sharing costs as set forth in Exhibit B. Any modification to an exhibit
agreed to by the parties that requires an increase in a Party's total amount of cost sharing
costs shall be evidenced by a written amendment to this MOU prepared and executed
by both parties in accordance with Section III.B.(1) above.
The parties shall, in each instance, memorialize in writing any and all modifications to
an exhibit by revising and restating that exhibit and referencing the contract control
numbers, if any, for this MOU. A proposed modification to an exhibit will be effective
only when it has been approved in writing by the authorized representatives of the

modified Exhibit shall contain the date upon which the modified exhibit shall take
effect.

Please provide detailed descriptions of each of the following:
I.
Access to Services
a. Describe the manner in which the One -Stop Partner will fulfill the access requirement. Provide
details. The options are (1) co -location; (2) cross -trained staff; and (3) direct technological
linkage.
The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) Jobs for Veterans State
Grant (JVSG) staff is strategically assigned within local areas to serve businesses and
eligible persons with significant barriers to employment. The placement of the JVSG staff
is determined by CDLE, in consultation with US Department of Labor (USDOL) Veterans
Employment and Training Service (VETS), and the Workforce, hereinafter referred to as
the American Job Center (AJC), based on Veteran population in accordance with the JVSG
State plan and Federal guidance. When appropriate, JVSG staff are co -located within at
least one Comprehensive One -Stop Center in the local area providing services to eligible
persons. The AJC may request cross -training of staff by the National Veterans Training
Institute. A request for cross -training must be made to the State Veterans Program
Specialist or Coordinator.
The Disabled Veteran Outreach Program (DVOP) Specialists are co -located with the
WIOA staff. This streamlines the provision of intensive and individualized career services
to eligible persons, promotes program co -enrollments, and facilitates collaboration
between the WIOA and DVOP case managers. DVOP specialists are expected to visit,
outreach to, or co -locate within local area workforce satellite office(s) and offices of other
program partners as directed and approved by CDLE Leadership.
Local Veteran Employment Representatives (LVER), though not co -located, will work
collaborative with the AJC business services staff as part of an integrated Business Service
Team. This aligns the business service within the AJC and streamlines planning and
implementation of any business focused initiative in which Veterans and eligible spouses
may benefit.

b. Describe methods to ensure that needs of workers, youth and individuals with barriers to
employment, including individuals with disabilities, are addressed in the provision of
necessary and appropriate access to services, including access to technology and materials,
made available through the One -Stop Delivery System.
The AJC will follow all applicable Federal, State and local laws to ensure that the needs of
workers, youth, and individuals with barriers to employment, including individuals with
disabilities are addressed. Workers, including JVSG staff, will be provided a fully
functional, ergonomically designed workstation, including any necessary reasonable

all businesses, Veterans and spouses including eligible persons with significant barriers to
employment. As outlined in Federal guidance, the JVSG supplements and does not
supplant other US Department of Labor funded programs. JVSG staff only provide services
to eligible persons as authorized US Law Title 38 and outlined in Federal guidance. In the
absence of JVSG staff, the AJC will ensure delivery of appropriate basic and individualized
career services to eligible persons with significant barriers to employment.
The DVOP specialists provide an array of intensive services through a case management
framework to eligible persons with significant barriers to employment and provide referrals
to other services. See the table below. The AJC staff will follow Federal and State guidance
to provide services, triage and refer all eligible persons with significant barriers to the
DVOP specialist if assigned.

system. This is outlined in Federal guidance as:
