The Unified or Combined State Plan must include the following with respect to activities carried out under subtitle B--
a. 1. D. Provide the Appeals Process Referred to in Section 121(h)(2)(e) of WIOA Relating to Determinations for Infrastructure Funding.
Current Narrative:
LWDBs use federal guidelines to work with required partners to determine and agree upon infrastructure funding. They are required to make every effort to resolve any disputes at the local level. A process for formal resolution exists with gradual escalation from the LWDB executive committees to senior leadership in the affected agencies (e.g., CareerSource Florida, DEO and DOE). The senior leadership would review concerns and, if necessary, remand the issue back to the board. If the LWDB cannot reach agreement with the partner, then the state funding mechanism would be instituted according to federal guidelines.
CareerSource Florida and the WIOA core partners have agreed to establish a workgroup to further enhance processes and develop policies for infrastructure funding and appeals as referred to in section 121(h)(2)(E) of WIOA.
