2005 California Unemployment Insurance Code Sections 15005-15007 CHAPTER 1.5. CITY AND COUNTY RELATIONSHIPS

15005.  The designation of areas shall be consistent with the
requirements of the federal Workforce Investment Act. Units of
general local government with populations of 200,000 or more and
consortia of contiguous units of local government with an aggregate
population of 200,000 or more which serve a substantial part of a
labor market area shall be designated service delivery areas, if they
so request. Furthermore, consideration shall be given to service
delivery area requests from any unit of general local government,
with a population level below 200,000, which served as a prime
sponsor under the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility for
Kids (CalWORKs) program.
15006.  (a) The Legislature recognizes that counties are the units
of local government designated to administer public assistance
programs in California.  It  is the intent of the Legislature that
access to public assistance benefits be integrated with access to
employment and training services provided pursuant to this division.
In the event that another unit of general government within a county
or a consortium of units of general local government is also
designated as a service delivery area pursuant to the federal Job
Training Partnership Act, the service delivery area plan for that
service delivery area shall describe the agreed upon methods and
procedures whereby employment and training services to public
assistance recipients are tied to and a part of the system of
integrated access to  Public Assistance and Employment and Training
Services within the county.  Counties shall provide full cooperation
to those entities within the county administering a service delivery
area plan to assist in the establishment of appropriate linkages.
   (b) The service delivery area plan for a service delivery area
which includes a county which has an approved or proposed plan for
the provision of employment and training services for public
assistance recipients under Article 3.2 (commencing with Section
11320) of Chapter 2 of Part 3 of Division 9 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code shall contain a certification by each county that
the service delivery area plan is consistent with the county plan in
the provision of sufficient services under this division for
registrants under that article.  If the service delivery area plan
does not contain the county certification required under this
subdivision, the state council shall certify that the service
delivery area plan is consistent with the county plan in the
provision of sufficient services under this division for registrants
under that article.
15007.  The director, pursuant to policies established by the state
council, shall allocate to units of general government designated as
a service delivery area, such funds as may be determined prudent and
necessary from funds available in the Consolidated Work Program Fund
in excess of those funds provided by the federal Job Training
Partnership Act.  Funds allocated from the Consolidated Work Program
Fund shall be used in accordance with the enabling statutes of those
programs in the fund.
