Wichita Workforce Center Update

Background

At the January 16, 2014 LWIB meeting, the Board approved a lease agreement for space for the Wichita

Workforce Center at New Leaf Plaza, located at the south west corner of the shopping center at the

intersection of 21st and Amidon.

The construction is currently underway – dry wall has been installed and finish carpentry is underway.

Flooring, paint, and finishes for surfaces have been selected. At the direction of the Executive

Committee, staff issued an RFP for furniture purchase and a security system for the facility. Following

the RPF process, furniture vendors were selected and pieces have been ordered to furnish the new

building.

Construction should be complete near the first of May, and WA anticipates moving into the facility

shortly after that date. A tentative grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony have been scheduled for

Friday, June 6, 2014. Details and formal invitation shall be sent out in the next few weeks.

Large building plans will be available for review at the meeting, but a small floor plan is included on the

following page.

LWIB Meeting Minutes

January 16, 2014

1. Welcome, Introductions and Announcements

Rod Blackburn welcomed attendees, asked for self introductions, and called the meeting to order at 10:00

a.m.

2. Public Comment There was no public comment.

3. Presentation: Exports and Economic Development

The Wichita Region of South Central Kansas was selected to participate in the Brookings Global

Cities Exchange (GCX) program after a competitive & extensive application process. Participation

in the program will produce a data-driven Regional Export Plan with the guidance of the Brookings

GCX team, JP Morgan Chase and the U.S. International Trade Administration. Seven other

cities/regions were selected and form a peer group: Atlanta; Upstate South Carolina representing the

Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson CSA; Indianapolis; Jacksonville, FL; Milwaukee; Phoenix; and

Sacramento, CA. The year-long planning process began in December 2013 with the convening of

the newest eight cities/regions at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC, and will culminate

with the release of the Wichita Region’s Export Plan and Investment Strategy in the fourth quarter of

2014.

Tim Chase, GWEDC and Karyn Page, Kansas Global Trade Services, presented information on the

importance of exports to the regional economy, noting that exports represent about 1/3 of

manufacturing jobs in South Central Kansas.

4. Approval of Lease Agreement for the Wichita Workforce Center

On September 18, 2013, the Workforce Alliance released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to seek leased

space for operation of the Wichita Workforce Center. The RFP closed on October 2, 2013. An LWIB

member and staff task force reviewed the proposals and selected a finalist, with direction from the LWIB

Executive Committee, began negotiating for improvements and final costs for the leased space.

WA staff have negotiated with Bruce Harris with H&C Investments, also known as New Leaf Plaza, at

the southwest corner of 21st and North Amidon. The WA negotiated for approximately 15,000 square

feet of leased space in the southwest corner of New Leaf Plaza.

The lease will be for five (5) years, ending June 30, 2019. The leased rate agreed upon is $14.35 per

square foot for an annual cost of $216,484.10. This cost will be shared by the MOU partners or

subleases. The lease has provisions for pay for increased costs in years two through five. The lease

includes three option annual lease extensions and includes:

80 staff/employee parking spaces in the rear of the building

Access to over 90 customer parking spaces

Maintenance, landscaping, snow removal and pest control

Construction of the property (currently an empty shell)

April 17, 2014


Utilities

Clauses for termination for breech, financial reasons, or convenience.

The space at New Leaf Plaza will contain the public access functions of the Workforce Alliance.

Administration functions will stay at their current location, the R.H. Garvey building downtown, until

May of 2015 when an adjoining space at New Leaf Plaza will be vacated and available for potential

expansion by WA.

The total estimated annual cost for space at both New Leaf and Garvey is $350,000, an annual savings of

$50,000 over the previous lease agreement at 150 N. Main.

Jeff Longwell (Robyn Heinz) moved authorize the Chief Executive Officer to enter into a lease for space

at New Leaf Plaza for the Wichita Workforce Center, pending final legal review. Motion adopted.

5. Approval of On-the-Job Training Contracts

A. Approval of addition to the Eligible Training Provider List for On-the-Job Training

Q Automation, located in Derby has applied for funding for On-the-Job Training for Engineers. The

company manufacturers and designs robotic equipment. The company anticipates hiring 15 new

engineering over the next two years of the contract. WIA funds will pay for participant training up to

a maximum of $4,500 per person.

Heinz (Jennifer Hughes) moved to approve the addition of Q Automation to the eligible training provider

list for on-th-job training and to approve an exception to the OJT contract with Q Automation,

authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to approve as many placements and training plans funded with

non-WIA dollars as grant funds allow. WIA funded OJT placements will remain limited to a maximum of

five placements and/or $40,000. Motion adopted.

6. Consent Agenda and Committee Reports

Chad Pettera reported that a finance report was provided as a handout. Expenditures and revenues are on

track overall. Dislocated Worker funding was expended faster and Adult funding slower than anticipated

for the semester. The audit is being finalized and will be presented to the LWIB Finance Committee for

review in the next few weeks. No findings were reported during the audit process.

Lawing reminded the LWIB that the 2014 Jobs FORE Youth golf tournament will be held on Friday,

April 25, 2014, at Auburn Hills Golf Course in Wichita. WA is seeking sponsors for the event overall

($1,000), prizes and beverage carts ($500) and holes ($150). The cost for a team of four to enter is $300.

Registration is open on the WA website as well as sponsorship forms.

Lawing announced that the WA is the lead applicant of a consortium applying to the Department of

Labor for a Youth Connect Grant. A summary of the partner agencies and the application was included

in the packet. If awarded, the grant could total $10 million over four year, starting in August 2014.

The Workforce Alliance is hosting a Congressional Staff member site visit to Wichita on Friday, January

17th sponsored by the Joyce Foundation and Jobs For the Future (JFF). The visitors are staff from 11

Item

Staff Reports

Background

Staff submits the following staff reports for review and consideration.

1. Financial Update

A financial update will be provided to the LWIB as a handout at the meeting.

Creation of the Jack Jonas Memorial Scholarship

One of the key community partners of the Workforce Alliance (WA) is the Cerebral Palsy

Research Foundation (CPRF). One example of this partnership is the nearly 100 young people

that have participated in the Business Fundamentals for Youth program, all receiving either or

both a high school diploma and certification in a Microsoft software tool (Word, Excel, Power

Point). This is one of the many ways the WA and CPRF work together to leverage Workforce

Investment Act (WIA) resources in the region.

CPRF was founded in 1972 by Jack Jonas. His son Pat currently leads the organization and Pat

serves on the WA Executive Committee and Local Workforce Investment Board (LWIB).

The WA wanted to recognize the recent passing of Jack Jonas by creating an annual scholarship

in his name awarded to help a youth with disabilities achieve their academic and career goals.

Mr. Jonas was an unsung hero in this community for over 40 years, and his vision that barriers

can be overcome and his commitment to creating a culture of understanding and success has

impacted the lives of thousands of people not only in Wichita but across the country. It is critical

that the legacy he helped create continue, and this annual scholarship is one modest way the WA

can do this.

In coordination with CRPF, the WA Executive Committee directed staff to develop criteria and a

selection process with plans to award the first annual Jack Jonas scholarship in the summer of

2014.

2. Upcoming Events
