III. Public Comment – No guests were present.

IV. Provider Performance and Authorization to Negotiate PY17 Contract Terms – Committee Members

were provided a Programmatic and Expenditure Progress Report as of December 2016 for each of the providers below. Staff identified any concerns regarding each provider and reported what the provider’s plan was to self-correct so their contracted goals would be achieved.

A. Business and Career Services (BCS) B. Elgin Community College (ECC) C. Grundy-Kendall Regional Office of Education (GKROE) D. Kishwaukee College (KC) E. Waubonsee Community College (WCC)

Healy introduced a motion to allow staff to begin negotiations with BCS, ECC, GKROE, KC and WCC for Program Year 2017. Oliver seconded the motion. Discussion ensued regarding each provider. The motion passed.

F. Quad County Urban League – Staff reviewed Quad’s PY16 contract conditions and updates through 1.31.2017. Areas of concern were identified and discussed. The concerns remain unresolved and therefore, PY17 contract renewal dialogue or negotiation with Quad County could not be recommended. Staff did recommend that Quad County satisfy the following deliverables which must be reviewed and accepted by the Youth Committee before PY17 contract negotiations can begin:

1. Submission of Final Audit by 3.31.2017; 2. Fully execute staffing changes and/or fill vacancies by 3.31.2017; 3. Achievement of planned work experience goals by 3.31.2017; 4. Resolution of all identified monitoring concerns by 3.31.2017;

Experience Policy Brief and a draft of the actual policy. Staff provided background information, a list of WIOA Policy Requirements that must be incorporated into the policy and the following three (3) policy considerations:

1. Limits for paid work experience:

Minimum of 4 consecutive weeks for all paid work experience;

Maximum of 8 weeks for participants working 21-40 hours per week; or

Maximum of 12 weeks for those participants working 20 hours or less per week. 2. Adopt policy language to reflect current practice, requiring that youth receive the equal

wages as other employees with the same job title, and experience within a company, or it may defer to the minimum requirements.

3. Placements exceeding the duration limits above would requirement approval from the Youth Program Manager, and justification will need to be reflected in the case file.

Discussion ensued. The committee will consider policy approval at a future meeting. B. Incentive Policy Discussion – Time didn’t permit.

Dear Ms. Gillespie,

The Youth Committee met on Friday, February 24th 2017 to discuss the youth providers’ progress to date during Program Year 2016, and to consider whether to authorize the negotiation of contract renewals for PY17. The Committee reviewed your agency’s programmatic and expenditure information through January, as well as the status of your compliance with the conditions placed on your contract for the remainder of PY16. There were four (4) identified concerns that the Committee determined are unresolved:

1. Delayed audit progress – Dates have continuously changed and the proposed timeline has not been followed.

2. Inadequate staffing – Managerial vacancy since mid-December and an additional vacancy expected on March 1st. Recent staffing changes have negatively impacted program delivery (low work experience placements) and with anticipated new hires further gaps seem likely as program/case management oversight is absent.

3. Work experience – Planned enrollments for January were not realized nor were those for February (to date). To achieve benchmark goals, the remaining months of the contract (March – June) will have high placement expectations which will continue to create back-loading of work experiences that will result in unrealized expenditures by June 30th.

4. Program/File compliance – Continued fundamental case management issues demonstrate a lack of understanding of WIOA requirements. Recently identified disallowed costs further support the concerns regarding Quad County’s grant compliance and management.

Due to the above concerns, the Youth Committee requested that the following five (5) actions be taken and responses be provided by Quad County Urban League prior to determining whether or not to authorize Kane County to negotiate a contract for PY17:

1. Submission of Final Audit by 3/31/2017 – Quad County must provide the final audit report. The document must include all relevant appendices (including the management/board response) and be the same version that is submitted to state/federal agencies, such as the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.

2. Fully execute staffing changes and/or fill vacancies by 3/31/2017 – Quad County’s contract modification documenting PY16 staffing plan revisions must be executed and a report of the new personnel which must start in their positions by 4/3/17 is to be provided by 3/31/2017.

Phone: 630.966.1435 | Fax: 630.966.1172 www.countyofkane.org/WDD

3. Achievement of planned work experience goals by 3/31/2017 – Seven (7) placements planned for February and March must be approved by Kane County for start prior to 3/31/2017. Additionally, Quad County must submit a plan detailing specific actions it will take in order to achieve five (5) placement starts in each of the remaining PY16 months.

4. Resolution of all identified monitoring concerns by 3/31/2017 – Documents for resolution consideration are due to Kane County by March 1, 2017 which was previously communicated to Quad County. Any items identified as un-resolved will be returned to Quad County. Should resolution not occur by 3/31/2017, Quad County will be required to provide Kane County with reimbursement for any resulting disallowed costs.

5. Submission of 3rd quarter performance report by 4/5/2017 –The report (progress and contract conditions) should reflect marked improvement of Quad County’s performance and detail the agency’s service delivery plan and expenditure projections for the remaining months of the program year.

The first four (4) items must be received by Kane County staff by close of business (4:30pm) on 3/31/2017, and the last item must be provided by 4/5/2017. All items will be reviewed by the Youth Committee at their meeting scheduled for 2:30pm on 4/10/2017. At that time, the Youth Committee will determine whether the responses are satisfactory and will consider whether or not to authorize the negotiation of a PY17 contract. We would anticipate communicating following that meeting about the Committee’s decision. Thank you, Suzanne Markin Youth Program Manager [email protected] Phone: (630) 966-1435 ext. 40076

Quad County Urban League Deliverable Submission Summary

1. Submission of Final Audit by 3/31/2017

Requested Deliverable QCUL Submission

Provide Final Audit Report 1) Financial Statements with Independent Auditor’s Report 2) QCUL “Reply Letter”

Include all relevant appendices (including the management/board response)

Management Response/Comment Letter was not provided and QCUL did not comment on its submission status.

Provide same Audit version that is submitted to state/federal agencies, such as the Federal Audit Clearinghouse

QCUL did not comment whether their submission to OCR satisfied the requirements similar to other state or federal agencies.

Staff Observations:

QCUL noted that Audit approval was gained by their Board on 3/30/17 (see “Corrective Action Plan” document); however, the Audit documents supplied could not be confirmed as final given missing signatures on the Reply Letter and an absent Management Response/Comment document.

Financial position appears less viable than the previous year which is noted by the Auditor on pages 9-12.

Due to QCUL’s federal revenue falling below $750,000, a single Audit was not performed and therefore, the outstanding FY2015 Audit findings were not addressed nor were any FY2016 weaknesses or deficiencies noted as a result.

Staff Conclusion:

Kane County’s CFO confirmed that without documentation attesting that the previous PY2015 findings have been resolved and given their weakened financial viability, the established PY16 conditions must remain in place with the same level of monitoring/oversight should a contract renewal be executed for PY17. Additionally, Kane County’s CFO confirmed that QCUL’s Audit submission lacked a Management Comment Letter which must be provided to the County immediately to be compliant with the federal Audit submission requirements.

2. Fully execute staffing changes and/or fill vacancies by 3/31/2017

Requested Deliverable QCUL Submission

Execute Staffing Changes 1) Program Manager Offer Letter 2) Staffing Summary 3) “Corrective Action Plan” document 4) “Narrative Report”

Contract Modification Executed Modification Cover Sheet

Provide Report of New Personnel to start on 4/3

QCUL did not provide confirmation that new personnel started on 4/3

Staff Observations:

Offer letter to new Program Manager was provided which documented a start date of 4/3/17; however, the letter was not signed by new employee and no other confirmation of acceptance was provided.

Modification was not complete nor executed as signatures were missing and budget revisions were not submitted which would be expected from an FTE reduction from 3.3 to 2.8 (F/T Case Manager position to P/T Job Developer).

Page 7: Workforce Development Board · 5. Submission of a 3rd quarter performance report by 4.5.2017; The Youth Committee Members accepted the Quad recommendation. Members will meet again

Staff Conclusion:

Absent a detailed modification package, it is unclear how service delivery/caseload management along with their program budget would be impacted by the staffing changes. The modification as presented cannot be approved by Kane County until a complete signed package is provided and without execution, QCUL’s subsequent cost claims will not result in reimbursement for the un-approved position.

3. Achievement of planned work experience goals by 3/31/2017

Requested Deliverable QCUL Submission

Approval of seven (7) placements for start prior to 3/31 Worksite Records

Submit plan detailing specific actions for achievement of five (5) placement starts in each of the remaining PY16 months

1) “Corrective Action Plan” document 2) “PY16 Jan-June Projections” for Paid

Work Experience placements

Staff Observations:

Seven (7) placements were approved for starts prior to 3/31/17.

Plan documenting how remaining placements will be achieved was contained in two different reports and was unclear as the assigned dollar figures do not align with expenditures per Fiscal’s records. Specific actions for achievement of goals was absent.

Staff Conclusion:

Paid Work Experience (PWE) placement goals for February/March were realized. Staff notes that absent a clear plan for remaining placements, it is difficult to gauge effectiveness of strategy in achievement Work Based Learning program and expenditure benchmarks.

4. Resolution of all identified monitoring concerns by 3/31/2017

Requested Deliverable QCUL Submission

Documents for resolution consideration due to Kane County by 3/1

1) Spreadsheet with QCUL responses (provided 3/7) 2) QCUL packet of supporting documentation copies

(provided 3/7 after OCR request)

Any items identified as unresolved will be returned to Quad County

OCR email to QCUL identifying unresolved items 3/17

Should resolution not occur by 3/31/2017, Quad County will be required to provide Kane County with reimbursement for any resulting disallowed costs

QCUL response provided on 3/31

Staff Observations:

While QCUL resolved one of two disallowed cost findings and noted attainment of several client documents pertaining to the outstanding disallowed cost finding, documents were not provided to OCR nor did they represent complete files. (See spreadsheet submission and “Narrative Report” submitted on 4/4).

Out of the eight (8) areas of concern identified by OCR, QCUL resolved five (5) by 3/7 and three (3) remained unresolved.

Staff Conclusion:

Programmatically, the disallowed costs that remain unresolved are a liability to the grantee (Kane County), and remain outstanding at $4,385.64. Monitoring continues to produce findings, which indicates a lack of understanding as it relates to eligibility, grant oversight and compliance. Additionally, the inability to take responsibility for findings casts doubt over QCUL’s ability to manage future funds and files.

5. Submission of 3rd quarter performance report by 4/5/2017

Requested Deliverable QCUL Submission

Submission of 3rd quarter performance report Monthly progress report

The report (progress and contract conditions) should reflect marked improvement of Quad County’s performance

1) Monthly progress report 2) Contract Conditions report

The report (progress and contract conditions) detail the agency’s service delivery plan and expenditure projections for the remaining months of the program year

3) “PY16 Jan-June Projections” for Paid Work Experience placements

4) “Corrective Action Plan” document 5) Budget projections vs. actual for Dec-March

Staff Observations:

The contract conditions report contained information not updated from February’s report, and several comments have remained unchanged for several months.

Budget comparison did not include expenditure projections for remaining months; only projections

versus actual for Dec-March were provided.

Monthly programmatic progress report, as well as “Correction Active Plan”, forecasts the remaining

months and when service numbers are expected to be achieved.

Staff Conclusion:

To date, QCUL has enrolled 66% of their annual participant goal and 64% of their Paid Work Experience goal.

However, there is a disconnect between the projected PWE placement numbers noted on “Corrective Action

Plan” against what is noted in the “PY16 Jan-June Projections”. Additionally, as noted above under #3, the

financial expenditures as recorded in the “PY16 Jan-June Projections” document do not match participant

Work Based Learning reimbursements made to Quad County through cost claims. As these documents are

unclear, it is uncertain how Quad County plans to attain negotiated goals for the remaining contract months.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors Quad County Urban League, Inc. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Quad County Urban League, Inc. (a nonprofit organization) which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2016, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2016

NOTE A - NATURE OF ACTIVITIES Quad County Urban League, Inc. (the Organization) secures equal opportunities for all disadvantaged persons and people of color, including African Americans, women and persons with disabilities. The Organization is dedicated to advocating and establishing programs that facilitate the social and economic growth of residents in the communities of DuPage, Kane, Kendall and Will Counties in Illinois. The Organization is an affiliate of the National Urban League and a member agency of the United Way. The Organization was incorporated under the Illinois General Not for Profit Corporation Act on July 14, 1975, and is supported primarily by grants and gifts from governmental agencies, other not-for profit organizations, foundations, companies and individuals. NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and accordingly reflect all significant receivables, payables and other liabilities. The Organization reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets and permanently restricted net assets. Promises to Give and Revenue Recognition Grants and gifts are recognized when a grantor makes a promise to give to the Organization that is, in substance, unconditional. Contributions that are restricted by the donor are reported as increases in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets depending on the nature of the restrictions. When a restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets in the statement of activities. It is the Organization’s policy to report contributions with temporary restrictions that are satisfied in the same fiscal year as receipt as unrestricted contributions in the statement of activities. At June 30, 2016, there were no permanently restricted net assets. Conditional promises to give are recognized as support when the conditions on which they depend are substantially met. Support from grants and other agreements that in substance constitute an exchange for services from the Organization is recognized when earned. Amounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible promises using the allowance method. However, no allowance was determined to be warranted at June 30, 2016. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair values of all reported assets and liabilities that represent financial instruments approximate the carrying values of such amounts.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

June 30, 2016

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Property and Equipment Donations of property and equipment are recorded as support at their estimated fair value at the date of donation. Such donations are reported as unrestricted support unless the donor has restricted the donated asset to a specific purpose. Assets donated with explicit restrictions regarding their use and contributions of cash that must be used to acquire property and equipment are reported as restricted support. Quad County Urban League, Inc. reports expirations of donor restrictions when the donated or acquired assets are place in service as instructed by the donor. Property and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost. Depreciation is charged against income over the estimated useful lives described below of the related property and equipment under the straight-line method. The estimated service life of the assets for depreciation purposes may be different than their actual economic useful lives.

Estimated Life in Years

Buildings and Improvements 39 Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3-5 Vehicles 5

Depreciation expense totaled $163, 219 during the year ended June 30, 2016. Impairment The Organization reviews its investment in real estate for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such property may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the real estate to the future net undiscounted cash flow expected to be generated by the real property including any estimated proceeds from the eventual disposition of the real estate. If the real estate is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured at the amount by which the carrying amount of the real estate exceeds the fair value of such property. There were no impairment losses recognized through June 30, 2016 (see Note D). Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Organization considers all highly-liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2016, there were no cash equivalents.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

June 30, 2016 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED Bond Issuance Costs The costs of the Organization’s 2007 bond issue totaling $293,538 are being amortized using the straight-line method over the 30-year term of the bonds. Amortization expense totaled $9,785 for the year ended June 30, 2016 and accumulated amortization was $90,506 at June 30, 2016 (see Note D). Donor Designated Funds Held by Community Foundations In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, donor designated funds collected directly by community foundations from donors for the benefit of the Organization are not recognized as assets by the Organization in the accompanying statements of financial position. Rather, distributions of income from these funds are recorded as donations when received. The estimated total value of these funds was approximately $17,000 at June 30, 2016. Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing the Organization’s programs and supporting services are summarized on a functional basis in the statements of activities and functional expenses. Accordingly, certain costs are allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited. Income Taxes The Organization applied for and was granted tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is classified as a public charity. Accordingly, income taxes are not provided for in the financial statements. The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. As of June 30, 2016, the Organization had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Contributed Services During the year ended June 30, 2016, the value of contributed services meeting the requirements for recognition in the financial statements was not material and has not been recorded.

Management’s Review Management has evaluated subsequent events to March 30, 2017 the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued.

NOTE C – TEMPORARY RESTRICTIONS ON NET ASSETS Temporarily restricted net assets consist of unconditional promises to provide funding for the next fiscal year. As the funding is made available for use by the Organization or as time restrictions expire, the amounts are reclassified from temporarily restricted net assets to unrestricted net assets in the statement of activities. At June 30, 2016, temporarily restricted net assets totaled $73,200. NOTE D – BONDS PAYABLE AND LEASE WITH EAST AURORA SCHOOL DISTRICT 131 In February 2007, the Illinois Finance Authority issued $4,735,000 in Facility Revenue Bonds and loaned the proceeds to the Organization for the acquisition, construction, equipping and installing of an approximately 23,000 square foot vocational and educational training center adjacent to its office in Aurora, Illinois. As security, the Organization granted a mortgage, assignment of leases and rentals and security agreement to the bonds Trustee. The outstanding principal balance of the bonds is presently $4,660,000. Terms of the agreement required monthly payments to a debt service reserve sufficient to make semi-annual interest payments beginning February 15, 2008 at an annual rate of 7.0%. Annual principal payments were due to commence on February 15, 2013 under an accelerating payment schedule through maturity on February 15, 2037. The first principal installment due February 15, 2013 totaling $75,000 was paid. In 2013, the Organization became financially unable to make required interest and principal installments as required by the loan agreement. On August 4, 2014, the Organization entered a lease agreement with East Aurora School District 131 (the “District”) to occupy approximately 90% of the building’s space and to administer ongoing programs. Under the triple net lease, the District makes monthly rental payments of $30,668 and pays its proportionate share of operating and executory costs. The original agreement was scheduled to expire on July 31, 2017, and in September 2016 the agreement was extended to July 31, 2019. Also on August 4, 2014, in connection with the lease agreement with the District, the Organization entered an agreement with the bond Trustee to temporarily forbear from exercising foreclosure and other rights under default specified in the Trust Indenture. Under the forbearance agreement, the District makes all payments under the lease for security deposits and rents directly to an account under the exclusive control of the bond Trustee. The Trustee then disburses 25% of the rent received to the Organization and releases the remainder to apply against outstanding amounts due under the bond agreements. The Trustee consented to the lease extension date of July 31, 2019. The forbearance agreement remains effective until the date six months prior to the termination date of the lease including any extension approved by the Trustee.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

June 30, 2016 NOTE D – BONDS PAYABLE AND LEASE WITH EAST AURORA SCHOOL DISTRICT 131- CONTINUED The Organization continues to explore all alternatives for resolving the situation. Due to deteriorated commercial real estate values in the years since the property was constructed, management believes the amount of the bond obligations presently encumbering the property significantly exceeds the estimated value of the property. Also, since grants and contributions provided to the Organization are typically intended for specified programs, it is unlikely the Organization will be able to procure sufficient funding to bring the obligations current in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, management believes it is likely the terms provided for in the forbearance agreement described in the preceding paragraph will by necessity continue indefinitely as long as lease agreements with the District or a similar party continue. Although the forbearance agreement substantially modifies the Organization’s cash outflow requirements, the underlying obligations of the Indenture Agreement continue to accumulate. Accordingly, the Organization has accrued interest payable on the outstanding principal of the bonds using the Default Rate specified in the Trust Indenture. The rate is applied to the principal balance only as the indenture is silent as to compounding of interest. The Default Rate is a floating rate equal to 1% above the effective Prime Rate in addition to the 7.0% rate on the bonds. At June 30, 2016, the total effective rate was 11.5%. An analysis of accrued interest for the year ended June 30, 2016 is as follows:

Accrued interest payable at June 30, 2016 $ 464,919 Provision for interest expense at Default Rate 530,506 Payments of interest (280,000)

Accrued interest payable at June 30, 2016 $ 715,425

Annual bond principal payments were scheduled to commence on February 15, 2013. Installments due in 2014 through 2016 are unpaid at June 30, 2016. Although the forbearance agreement modifies current cash outflow requirements, annual maturities required by the original terms of the Trust Indenture are as follows in order for the obligation to be current:

Year ending: 2017 $ 355,000 2018 105,000 2019 110,000 2020 120,000 2021 130,000 Thereafter 3,840,000

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

June 30, 2016 NOTE D – BONDS PAYABLE AND LEASE WITH EAST AURORA SCHOOL DISTRICT 131- CONTINUED During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Organization adopted the requirements in ASU No. 2015-03, Interest –Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, to present unamortized bond issuance costs as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt rather than as an asset. NOTE E – INSTALLMENT AGREEMENT The Organization had previously entered an installment agreement with the Internal Revenue Service for unpaid payroll tax obligations in 2012 and 2013. The taxes were satisfied in prior years, but the Organization has included in accrued payroll liabilities on the statement of financial position approximately $185,000 in estimated penalties and interest charges. Management is pursuing an offer in compromise to waive or settle any remaining balance due at a substantially reduced amount, but the ultimate outcome of the matter cannot be presently determined. NOTE F – NOTE PAYABLE, BANK At June 30, 2016, the Organization owes BMO Harris Bank N.A. $92,560 under a prior line of credit agreement that permitted maximum borrowings of $100,000. The Organization has agreed to make monthly payments of $1,000 and is presently accruing interest at an annual rate of 8.25%. NOTE G – CORRECTIONS OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The balance of the deficit in net assets at June 30, 2015 reported in financial statements previously issued by the Organization for the year ended June 30, 2015, and audited by other auditors, has been adjusted to make numerous posting and cutoff corrections noted during the preparation of the current year’s financial statements. The net effect was to reduce the amount of the total deficit from $1,272,294 to $1,059,632 and to reclassify temporarily restricted net assets of $79,250 at June 30, 2015. The net decrease in the reported deficit is comprised of the following:

Increase in accrued interest expense $ 173,908 Posting and cutoff errors in prior years’ expenses (186,677) Posting and cutoff errors in prior years’ revenues (199,893)

Total opening deficit decrease $ (212,662)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

June 30, 2016 NOTE H – CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Organization maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes the Organization is not exposed to any significant credit risk of loss on these funds. Approximately 80% of the Organization’s support and revenues are derived from various federal, state and local government grants and 41% of total receivables are due under these grants. Typical ongoing risks exist with these funding sources including detrimental changes in budgeting and priorities of governmental administrations. NOTE I – SINGLE AUDIT During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Organization had less than $750,000 in total Federal expenditures from all sources and is therefore exempt from Federal audit requirements for the year in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards.

QCUL Youth Equipped to Succeed Narrative Report: March 2017

1). Service/activity highlights and unique happenings

Highlights. In the month of March 2017, the QCUL recruited twelve (10) persons and enrolled three (3) new youth. We are currently on track to recruit and certify 7 new registrants for the month of April.

2). Limitations, issues and/or concerns related to service delivery and performance,

including budget, staffing, scheduling, participant attendance, behavior and work

experience.

Service Delivery and performance: In the month of March, QCUL staff focused its efforts on training (IWDS and program eligibility), participant and work site recruitment, participant work experience placement and file management and maintenance. QCUL projected outcomes were met in the month of March for PWE placements (10).

Budget: QCUL submitted, and has been approved for, a budget modification to account for overages in fringe benefits due to higher than anticipated unemployment costs. Currently, we are on track with the budget; however, this month we will monitor the expenditures to ensure there are no overages in certain line items.

Participant attendance, behavior and work experience: QCUL staff continues to monitor the paid work experience plan to ensure it meets its goal of 36 new youth participating in work experiences. QCUL is 72% completed with the paid work experience goal. That plan was shared with the Kane County Youth program manager through the agency corrective action plan.

3). Other/Staffing.

Ann Webb Camp has been hired as Program Manager and approved by the board on March 23, 2017. She is currently going through training on processes and procedures. Julia Willis will stay with the program but will focus on increasing partnership with the business community and obtain better placements in participants’ career interests.

4) Participant Files:

There are two files outstanding; however, the Files has been recreated, with the exception of Client's

Social Security Card and/or Identification card. As stated in previous documents one client has moved to

Ohio, and has misplaced documents in the move. CM asked client to order a new SS. Client shared he

has ordered a new SSN but it still have not come in.

Once again, QCUL staff is fully confident that the files were part of the files taken to OCR in the summer

and fall of 2016, respectively. Full accountability should not be placed on QCUL but if these files are not

created by May 2017, we will reimburse OCR for these expenditures, of course, reluctantly.

February 15, 2017 Theodia Gillespie, Executive Director Quad County Urban League 1685 No. Farnsworth Aurora, Il 60505

Dear Ms. Gillespie,

Kane County recently performed an annual monitoring of Quad County’s WIOA client files to assess regulatory compliance and in addition, reviewed your programmatic and fiscal contract progress through January 2017. You will find below several areas of concern that could potentially impact Quad County Urban League’s outcomes for PY16. It is our suggestion that an internal action plan be developed, addressing these items, in order to ensure a successful remainder of the program year. Attached you will find the file monitoring results. We would like to call your attention to the first two (2) items which will require immediate attention and action by Quad County as they could result in potential disallowed costs for the workforce area. The missing files were brought to your attention in November and their location remained outstanding during the review in January. Given the volume of file concerns, we ask that these be remedied timely, and therefore have defined the deadline as March 1st. While we appreciate your continued updates regarding recent staffing changes under your WIOA contract along with your short-term plans for replacements, our concern remains with impact to program delivery, which is reflected in your January progress report. Paid work experience enrollments, for example, were not achieved for January and as a result spending is below projections for these activities. We suggest reviewing your PWE plan to avoid underperforming and underspending during the remaining months of the contract. Please provide the monitoring corrections and documentation as noted on the attached results by Wednesday, March 1st. Thank you, in advance, for responding to this request. We will be meeting with the Youth Committee of our local Workforce Development Board at the end of the month, and we will be providing sub-contractor status reports at this time. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss the details of this report. Thank you, Suzanne Markin Youth Program Manager [email protected] Phone: (630) 966-1435 ext. 40076

FILE MONITORING RESULTS

Potential Disallowed Cost #1 – There were two youth files unaccounted for from Quad County Urban League. The two missing files are Jerrod Lewis, a PY15 exited file, and Trey Warren, a PY16 exited file. Both customers were enrolled and participant in a paid work experience. Without file documentation, disallowed costs and findings for the workforce area could occur.

Necessary Action – Quad County Urban League must locate the two missing files to avoid disallowed costs.

Potential Disallowed Cost #2 – There were multiple issues with the file for DeShana Berry-Jones, and the correction of the errors could affect her eligibility for youth services:

1. The career planner from QCUL entered client’s income on the Income Statement in IWDS as $0.00 even though the youth is employed. Additionally, the youth is living with family members who are employed, and their income should have also been used to determine if the youth’s family income is less than 70% of the LLIS.

2. According to the transcripts from East Aurora High School, DeShana is a drop-out, but in IWDS drop-out was entered as No. The career planner from QCUL should have entered DeShana as a drop-out which is an automatic qualifier for WIOA out-of-school youth.

3. The documentation used to verify income is a paystub but there are no copies of paystubs in the file. 4. There is a copy of DeShana’s GED in the file that was attained during program participation but the

credential was not entered in IWDS. 5. There is a Workforce Professional Statement in the file to document Youth Needing Additional

Assistance but the section on the form for justification was not completed.

Necessary Action – QCUL’s Program Manager and Career Planner should schedule a meeting with Steve Placek from Kane County Workforce Development Division to assist correcting the issues from DeShana’s file.

Area of Concern #1- No Narratives were entered in the Assessment Summary Screen in IWDS for Ismael Ramos, Toiana Hayden, and Christopher Valentine.

Correction Recommendation #1- All Narratives must be completed in the Assessment Summary either at time of intake or shortly after enrollment, and missing narratives for above identified youth will need to be added.

Area of Concern #2- The required applicant statement for all out-of-school youth to verify that youth is not attending any school at time of application is missing for Darmicka Campbell.

Correction Recommendation #2 - Darmicka Campbell will have to sign an applicant statement verifying that she was not attending any school at time of application.

Area of Concern #3- Marissa Freeman had verification in the file that she committed a felony and misdemeanor and but in the Youth Barrier Screen in IWDS ‘Subject to Juvenile or Adult Justice System’ was entered as NO. Michael Carwell’s application stated that he is on probation but no barrier was selected in IWDS.

Phone: 630.966.1435 | Fax: 630.966.1172 www.countyofkane.org/WDD

Correction Recommendation #3- Quad County Urban League’s youth career planners should be entering all barriers in IWDS that they have the documentation for. Case notes must be entered for the above identified youth, documenting the barriers that QCUL has documentation for but failed to capture at intake.

Area of Concern #4- The test dates for reading and math on the TABE test answer sheets did not match the test date in IWDS for Essenze Moore. ‘Youth Requiring Additional Assistance’ was selected in IWDS for Essenze Moore and the career planner selected ‘test results’ as the documentation source for verification, but that is not an acceptable documentation source for our LWA. The only acceptable documentation source to verify youth needing additional assistance is the Workforce Professional Statement which was not in the file.

Correction Recommendation #4- The test dates on the test answer sheets for Essenze Moore must be changed to match the test dates entered in IWDS. A Workforce Professional Statement must be completed by the career planner from Quad County Urban League and included in the paper file.

Area of Concern #5- Ismael Ramos was entered in IWDS as having a learning disability but there is no documentation in the file to verify this barrier.

Correction Recommendation #5- Since the Learning Disability was not used to determine WIOA youth eligibility, the disability can either be verified by an applicant statement or the disability in IWDS can be changed to NO in the Private Information Screen.

Area of Concern #6- Case notes for Sara Ratz show that there has not been any two-way communication between the customer and Quad County Urban league for more than 90 days.

Correction Recommendation #6- According to the Department of Labor, if there is not two-way communication between the customer and their career planner then the customer must be exited from all WIOA services. Sara Ratz must be re-engaged in an active WIOA youth service or she must be exited from WIOA services.

Area of Concern #7- The application date in IWDS did not match the date the youth signed the applications for Darmicka Campbell, Michael Carwell, Christopher Valentine, and Sara Ratz.

Correction Recommendation #7- The application date in IWDS should match the date that the youth signed the application. Change the signature date for the youth on the applications to match the Application Date in IWDS.

Area of Concern #8- The eligibility date on the application did not match the eligibility date entered in IWDS for Darmicka Campbell, DeShana Berry-Jones, and Ismael Ramos.

Correction Recommendation #8- Change the eligibility dates on the applications to match the dates in IWDS. Management Recommendation #1- Create and implement internal procedures for maintaining checklist of files, identifying a checkout system for file location to ensure files are accounted for at all times. Please provide a response after each required necessary action or correction/management recommendations, and provide IWDS screenshots and/or copies of documentation to support your responses. All corrections must be submitted to Steve Placek by March 1st, 2017.

Moore Essenze Complete

CM has been unable to contact client and client's 

grandmother who advocates for client.  CM search 

for online court records and it showed truancy from 

2005. Case information has been entered in file. It is 

still unclear if client was on probation.

Will make a note in QCUL Application process

The correct test date is 5/25/2016. Case note has 

been made.

From the recruiting phase to the intake phase clients 

are assessed recording barriers and challenges that 

has kept them from being successful. The 

recruiting/interest form has a checkbox of barriers 

for clients to check. The recruiting/interest process 

includes a CM reviewing the interest form with client 

one on one to determine eligibility and to review 

client's input on form. Once client moves to intake 

phase the client is given a  thorough 

assessment/intake of client which includes a survey 

that asks detailed facts about the client.  Therefore a 

client has been through three detailed steps and will 

still choose not to disclose all information/barriers at 

intake time. CM tends to find out information weeks 

or months later when client decides to disclosed.
