Joint resolution approving a new full-time business analyst position funded by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) grant in the Workforce Development Department.

* The demand for Workforce's services resulted in securing two new ongoing grants for fiscal year 2019 budget in order to provide increased programmatic grant activity.

* This position will be funded by a reallocation of existing WIOA grant dollars, with the new ongoing grants paying for existing services.
* This position will be eliminated should the grant funding sources expire or not be renewed.
