Local and Regional Plans Local plan updates – mostly cosmetic. Largest change – change in definition of self sufficiency for employed adults and dislocated workers. Previous plan it was 150% of federal poverty guidelines. Change to 175% of federal poverty guidelines. Previous plan it was 50% for dislocated workers. Now 75% now. Regional Plan – working with other workforce areas in the region to develop a plan to expand regional approach to services. Federal Poverty guidelines for example: Family of 1 is 11880, 175% $20790 or $10.00 per hour $20,160 for a family of 3 175% = $35,280 or Single person is 11880,

One Stop Operator (review from October 2016 meeting) The One-Stop Operator must be selected by July 1, 2017. No additional funding for One Stop Operator Unless upon the agreement of the Governor and the Chief Elected Official of the Local Area, all One-Stop Operators must be procured competitively. Must be open and transparent.

One Stop Operator (continued) A clearly articulated plan to procure and a policy regarding conflicts of interest should be in place prior to the procurement. The Mid –Maryland Workforce Development Board Conflict of Interest policy addresses this. Need board input on designation of One Stop Operator. Request members to assist with review of procurement - only those who are not interested in bidding.

One Stop Operator Role At a minimum, the one-stop operator must coordinate the service delivery of required one-stop partners and service providers. Local WDBs may establish additional roles of one-stop operator, including, but not limited to: Coordinating service providers across the one-stop delivery system, being the primary provider of services within the center, providing some of the services within the center, or coordinating service delivery in a multi-center area, which may include affiliated sites.
