Agenda Item #1 – Review and Approve Customized Training Policy:
Tracey McMorris, Vice President of Operations/COO, presented the policy revisions to the Committee. Ms.
McMorris explained that Customized Training is when we engage in training with either one employer or a group
of employers to fill a specific gap around an occupation or industry; the training has to result in an industry
recognized credential.
It was noted that Customized Training will only be considered when available training programs do not meet the
specific training requirements of employer(s). Participating employer(s) must commit to employ or continue to
employ participant(s) upon successful completion of the Customized Training. Employers must contribute a
significant portion of the cost of the training; the contribution may not be less than 50 percent of the cost of
training.
A motion was made by Pam Houghten to approve the Customized Training Policy as presented and it was
seconded by Pam Burchell. The motion passed unanimously.
Agenda Item #2 – Review & Approve the Amended WIOA Guidelines for Self-Sufficiency Policy:
Tracey McMorris stated that every year the guidelines for self-sufficiency change, based on standards set in the
Lower Living Standard Income Level Guidelines (LLSIL) and as a result, the Self-Sufficiency policy must be
amended and brought forward for review and approval annually. This amended Policy also adjusts the
methodology that will be used to determine the self-sufficiency wage for employed workers. The previous
methodology specifically assessed the cost of housing (data derived from Florida Realtors Association) to
determine the wage an individual must earn in order to afford a mortgage The new methodology will utilize the
Living Wage Calculator that draws upon geographically specific expenditure data related to a family, such as,
food, housing, insurance, etc.
AGENDA ITEM #6B
PROGRAMS & SERVICES COMMITTEE MINUTES – November 6, 2019
Page 2 of 2
For CareerSource Research Coast (CSRC), the income levels used to qualify employed career seekers for
training services, that lead to career pathways in targeted industries, will be determined based on the Living
Wage Calculator. The training services will be provided through Work Based Training that would increase their
earning potential.
A motion was made by Pam Houghten and it was seconded by Lawrence Hawes to approve the WIOA
Guidelines for Self-Sufficiency Policy as presented. The motion passed unanimously.
Agenda Item #3 – Review and Approve Revisions to the WIOA Support Service Policy Revision:
Tracey McMorris explained the Policy revisions were to establish standard procedures for the delivery of
supportive services to Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) participants of CSRC. The Policy covers
the same standards, but clarifies the language in terms of what supportive services will be provided. The revised
structure of the Policy also established criteria to determine the amounts available to participants for
transportation assistance (gas cards) and will be based on the distance of travel to the training site and the
frequency of travel. Overall, CSRC shall authorize funding for supportive services when a need has been
identified, when the participant will not be successful without this support, and when no alternate funding is
available to pay for such supportive service.
Committee Member Pam Houghten inquired as to whether the proper wording was used under the Policy’s
support services item: “Local transit bus passes based on the normal cost of the transit provider”. The Committee
suggested to replace the word “normal” with “actual”.
A motion was made by Pam Houghten to approve the WIOA Support Service Policy Revision as presented with
the recommended change and it was seconded by Larry Hawes. The motion passed unanimously.

month-end financial statement. Ms. Delligatti stated that expenditures appeared to be running parallel to last
year at this time.
A motion was made by Werner Bols to approve the September financials as presented and it was seconded by
Pam Houghten. The motion passed unanimously.
Agenda Item #3 – Review and Approve Customized Training Policy
Tracey McMorris, Vice President of Operations/COO, presented the policy to the Committee. Ms. McMorris
explained that the Customized Training Contract is when we engage in training with either one employer or a
group of employers to address a specific occupational training need. In this policy, the criteria is established for
the participants who will engage in the training, the employers and what their contribution will be. Participants
who are engaged in the Customized Training must meet WIOA program eligibility requirements and be enrolled
in a WIOA program or special project. The employers must contribute a significant portion to the cost of the
training; the contribution may not be less than 50 percent of the cost of training. The training must be in a
demand occupation and listed on CareerSource Research Coast’s (CSRC’s) Local Targeted Occupations List
(LTOL).
A motion was made by Pam Houghton to approve the Customized Training Policy as presented and it was
seconded by Werner Bols. The motion passed unanimously.
AGENDA ITEM #6C
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MINUTES – November 15, 2019
Page 2 of 2
Agenda Item #4 – Review and Approve the Amended WIOA Guidelines for Self-Sufficiency Policy:
Tracey McMorris explained to the Committee that the most significant change in the policy is that it is being
recommended to change the methodology used to assess the self-sufficiency wage for employed workers.
Previously, CSRC used the Lower Living Standard Income Level (LLSIL) guidelines as the methodology
specifically assessed the cost of housing (data derived from Florida Realtors Association) to determine the wage
an individual must earn in order to afford a mortgage. The new methodology will utilize the Living Wage
calculator that draws upon geographically specific expenditure data related to a family, developed by
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) such as: food, housing, insurance, etc. For CSRC, the income
levels used to qualify employed career seekers for training services that lead to career pathways in targeted
industries will be determined based on the Living Wage Calculator. The training Services will be provided
through Work Based Training that would increase their earning potential.
A motion was made by Pam Houghton to approve the Amended WIOA Guidelines for Self-Sufficiency Policy
as presented and it was seconded by Pamela Burchell. The motion passed unanimously.
Agenda Item #5 – Review and Approve Revisions to the WIOA Support Service Policy
Tracey McMorris explained the purpose for Revisions to the WIOA Support Service Policy were to establish
standard procedures for the delivery of supportive services to Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA)
participants of CSRC. The Policy covers the same standards but clarifies the language in terms of what
supportive services will be provided. The revised structure of the Policy also established criteria to determine
the amounts available to participants for transportation assistance (gas cards) and will be based on the distance
of travel to the training site and the frequency of travel. Overall, CSRC shall authorize funding for supportive
services when a need has been identified, when the participant will not be successful without this support, and
when no alternate funding is available to pay for such supportive service.
A motion was made by Werner Bols to approve the Revisions to the WIOA Support Service Policy as
presented and it was seconded by Pamela Burchell. The motion passed unanimously.

CT is considered when available training programs and/or curricula do not
meet the specific training requirements of employer(s).
On June 11, 2019, CareerSource Florida released Administrative Policy
