Notes from the Office…..

This past week DCEO issued the PY13 Allocation information. The recalculation of

census data improved our funding levels, as an area we have a reduction in youth fund-

ing of $12,475, but a increase in both the adult ($ 7,137) and the dislocated worker

(67,513) funding streams, as well as an increase in the board office admin funds

($6,909) for a total net increase of $69,084 from last year's funding level.

However, this recalculation of census data did not improve the funding levels of our

service providers equally. Since the funding is allocated to the area by county using a

method that takes in to account factors such as unemployment, population, and pov-

erty levels factoring them into a matrix that produces a percentage that is then used to

calculate the actual funds available to contract to each of our providers. The counties

served by WADI (Edwards, Wabash, Wayne, and White) saw the greatest negative

impact, taking a reduction of funds in all funding streams of $13,080 from last year.

Mid 5's counties (Gallatin, Hamilton, Hardin, Pope, and Saline) also experienced a nega-

tive impact in youth and adult funding, but a slight increase in dislocated worker fund-

ing for a net decrease of $9,864 from last year's levels. The counties served by

Shawnee Development (Alexander, Johnson, Massac, Pulaski, and Union) benefited

greatly by the matrix having an increase in all of the funding streams of $85,120.

As expected the sequestration was applied to our funding for PY13 and will be cap-

tured in the first quarter, limiting the amount of funding available for our use prior to

October in the adult and dislocated funding streams. Both programmatic and adminis-

trative funds are affected by this limit, adult funding is limited to 3% ($12,428) and dis-

located worker is limited to 10% (40,851). To help elevate this situation, we have

been working with the providers for the last few months to ensure that they have the

full 20% allowable to carry forward in to PY13. However, even with this carry in funds

we will all be impacted by the limit, and with the reduction in allocation WADI and

Mid 5 will be the hardest hit. I would anticipate staff layoffs as well as a reduction in

client services for the period of July 1 thru September 30 for both Mid 5 and WADI, as

well as limited client service reductions for Shawnee Development. The board office

should have sufficient funds to adequately operate the first quarter with no need for

staff layoffs.

The application is not due to DCEO until after the June meeting so I anticipate that the

program certification/finance committee will bring this before the full board for ap-

proval at the June meeting.

Notes from the Office…..continued

As an area we continue to meet the 40% training expenditure rate at the end of April 2013, with expendi-

tures of 56% in the adult category and 43% in the dislocated worker category. WADI had a training expen-

diture of 37% for the adult category and 44% for the dislocated worker category. Mid 5 had a training ex-

penditure of 56% for the adult category and 44% for the dislocated worker category. SDC had a training

expenditure of 74% for the adult category and 43% for the dislocated worker category.

I have taken the opportunity to travel some this past month and have met most of our County Board

Chairs. It has been a very positive experience meeting with them and putting a face to the name, as well as

leaving them the information that was discussed at last year's board training. It somewhat surprised me just

how little most of the CEOs knew about our organization and hope that this will make communication eas-

ier in the future. I still have to meet with Hardin, Saline, Massac and Johnson counties, but hope to com-

plete those visits in the next week.

We were contacted by DCEO concerning our interest in a summer youth program a few weeks ago, but

have not heard any additional information other than a comment from John Barr with DCEO informing IWP

that the State had included a line item on its budget, but that nothing was definite. As I am sure you are

aware, even in great economic times it is difficult for youth to find summer employment. This is especially

true in our rural areas where business opportunities are limited. In past years, we have had very successful

programs that benefited not only the youth being served and their families, but also the employers and the

communities. If you have any political contacts I urge you to make contact and ask them to approve a sum-

mer youth program.

In anticipation of a summer youth program we went ahead and issued the RFP for Youth services with a due

date of May 23. Kim will be scheduling a Youth Council meeting prior to the June board meeting and I an-

ticipate that the Youth Council will be bring this to the full board for their approval.

Southern Illinois Highlights

Unemployment rates increased across

Southern Illinois. The data is not seasonally

adjusted.

Inclement weather conditions delayed Con-

struction activity. Retail Trade and Leisure-

Hospitality employment generally declined.

Employment gains were reported in Health

Care Services, Financial Activities, Profes-

sional-Business Services, and Transporta-

tion.

Employment opportunities were available in

Health Care and Medical Support, Sales,

Food Service, Transportation, Office and

Administrative Support, and Computer Op-

erations. A number of employment openings

also were in Business and Finance, Engi-

neering, and Production Occupations.

The unemployment rate identifies those who

are out of work and seeking employment. A

person who exhausts benefits, or is ineligi-

ble, still will be reflected in the unemploy-

ment rate if they actively seek work.

Illinois has added +231,200 private sector

jobs since January 2010 when job growth

returned to Illinois following nearly two

years of monthly declines. State data is sea-

sonally adjusted. Since January 2010, lead-

ing growth sectors in Illinois are Profes-

sional and Business Services (+94,700);

Educational and Health Services (+53,700)

and Trade, Transportation and Utilities

(+45,500). Government has lost the most

jobs since January 2010, down -25,500.

The IDES supports economic stability by

administering unemployment benefits, col-

lecting business contributions to fund those

benefits, connecting employers with quali-

fied job seekers, and providing economic

information to assist career planning and

economic development.
