TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute any and all documents necessary for the First Amendment to Lease No. 34494 between Pacific Place Office, LLC, and the City of Long Beach, for office space at 222 West 6th Street, Suites 400 and 480, San Pedro, California, to house a YouthSource Center in conjunction with the adjacent Harbor WorkSource Center operated by the Workforce Development Bureau in the Department of Economic and Property Development. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
On November 22, 2016, the City Council authorized the execution of Lease No. 34494 (Lease) for office space at 222 West 6th Street, Suite 410 (Premises), for the relocation and continued operation of the Harbor WorkSource Center (HWSC). Through a contract with the City of Los Angeles Economic and Workforce Development Department (LAEWDD), the HWSC assists approximately 2,000 job seekers per month with free job training and employment placement services and serves as the one-stop resource center for the San Pedro/Harbor Area. All services are provided under the guidance of the Workforce Investment Board, also known as the Pacific Gateway Workforce Investment Network (PGWIN), which administers the communities’ collective annual federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds as well as other employment and training funds.
The buildout of the new office space was recently completed and the HWSC is now located at the Premises. During the process of relocating the HWSC to the Premises, PGWIN was notified by LAEWDD that it would receive $1,009,000 in WIOA and other funds for baseline services for youth residents in the Harbor area. On July 18, 2017, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to accept said funds, which enables the City to operate the Harbor Gateway YouthSource Center for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, with an option to renew for three additional one-year terms.
