| Memorandum of Understanding of the One-Stop Delivery System |
20 CFR 662.310 - Is there a single MOU for the local area or are there to be separate MOU's between the Local Board and each partner?
- Section Number: 662.310
- Section Name: Is there a single MOU for the local area or are there to be separate MOU's between the Local Board and each partner?
(a) A single ``umbrella'' MOU may be developed that addresses the
issues relating to the local One-Stop delivery system for the Local
Board and all partners, or the Local Board and the partners may decide
to enter into separate agreements between the Local Board and one or
more partners. Under either approach, the requirements described in
Sec. 662.310 apply. Since funds are generally appropriated annually,
financial agreements may be negotiated with each partner annually to
clarify funding of services and operating costs of the system under the
MOU.
(b) WIA emphasizes full and effective partnerships between Local
Boards and One-Stop partners. Local Boards and partners must enter into
good-faith negotiations. Local Boards and partners may request
assistance from a State agency responsible for administering the
partner program, the Governor, State Board, or other appropriate
parties. The State agencies, the State Board, and the Governor may also
consult with the appropriate Federal agencies to address impasse
situations after exhausting other alternatives. The Local Board and
partners must document the negotiations and efforts that have taken
place. Any failure to execute an MOU between a Local Board and a
required partner must be reported by the Local Board and the required
partner to the Governor or State Board, and the State agency
responsible for administering the partner's program, and by the
Governor or the State Board and the responsible State agency to the
Secretary of Labor and to the head of any other Federal agency with
responsibility for oversight of a partner's program. (WIA sec. 121(c).)
(c) If an impasse has not been resolved through the alternatives
available under this section any partner that fails to execute an MOU
may not be permitted to serve on the Local Board. In addition, any
local area in which a Local Board has failed to execute an MOU with all
of the required partners is not eligible for State incentive grants
awarded on the basis of local coordination of activities under 20 CFR
665.200(d)(2).
