Wichita Workforce Center Update
Background
At the January 16, 2014 LWIB meeting, the Board approved a lease agreement for space for the Wichita
Workforce Center at New Leaf Plaza, located at the south west corner of the shopping center at the
intersection of 21st and Amidon.
The construction is currently underway – dry wall has been installed and finish carpentry is underway.
Flooring, paint, and finishes for surfaces have been selected. At the direction of the Executive
Committee, staff issued an RFP for furniture purchase and a security system for the facility. Following
the RPF process, furniture vendors were selected and pieces have been ordered to furnish the new
building.
Construction should be complete near the first of May, and WA anticipates moving into the facility
shortly after that date. A tentative grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony have been scheduled for
Friday, June 6, 2014. Details and formal invitation shall be sent out in the next few weeks.
Large building plans will be available for review at the meeting, but a small floor plan is included on the
following page.

1. Welcome, Introductions and Announcements
Rod Blackburn welcomed attendees, asked for self introductions, and called the meeting to order at 10:00
a.m.
2. Public Comment There was no public comment.
3. Presentation: Exports and Economic Development
The Wichita Region of South Central Kansas was selected to participate in the Brookings Global
Cities Exchange (GCX) program after a competitive & extensive application process. Participation
in the program will produce a data-driven Regional Export Plan with the guidance of the Brookings
GCX team, JP Morgan Chase and the U.S. International Trade Administration. Seven other
cities/regions were selected and form a peer group: Atlanta; Upstate South Carolina representing the
Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson CSA; Indianapolis; Jacksonville, FL; Milwaukee; Phoenix; and
Sacramento, CA. The year-long planning process began in December 2013 with the convening of
the newest eight cities/regions at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC, and will culminate
with the release of the Wichita Region’s Export Plan and Investment Strategy in the fourth quarter of
2014.
Tim Chase, GWEDC and Karyn Page, Kansas Global Trade Services, presented information on the
importance of exports to the regional economy, noting that exports represent about 1/3 of
manufacturing jobs in South Central Kansas.
4. Approval of Lease Agreement for the Wichita Workforce Center
On September 18, 2013, the Workforce Alliance released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to seek leased
space for operation of the Wichita Workforce Center. The RFP closed on October 2, 2013. An LWIB
member and staff task force reviewed the proposals and selected a finalist, with direction from the LWIB
Executive Committee, began negotiating for improvements and final costs for the leased space.
WA staff have negotiated with Bruce Harris with H&C Investments, also known as New Leaf Plaza, at
the southwest corner of 21st and North Amidon. The WA negotiated for approximately 15,000 square
feet of leased space in the southwest corner of New Leaf Plaza.
The lease will be for five (5) years, ending June 30, 2019. The leased rate agreed upon is $14.35 per
square foot for an annual cost of $216,484.10. This cost will be shared by the MOU partners or
subleases. The lease has provisions for pay for increased costs in years two through five. The lease
includes three option annual lease extensions and includes:
80 staff/employee parking spaces in the rear of the building
Access to over 90 customer parking spaces
Maintenance, landscaping, snow removal and pest control
Construction of the property (currently an empty shell)

Administration functions will stay at their current location, the R.H. Garvey building downtown, until
May of 2015 when an adjoining space at New Leaf Plaza will be vacated and available for potential
expansion by WA.
The total estimated annual cost for space at both New Leaf and Garvey is $350,000, an annual savings of
$50,000 over the previous lease agreement at 150 N. Main.

company manufacturers and designs robotic equipment. The company anticipates hiring 15 new
engineering over the next two years of the contract. WIA funds will pay for participant training up to
a maximum of $4,500 per person.
Heinz (Jennifer Hughes) moved to approve the addition of Q Automation to the eligible training provider
list for on-th-job training and to approve an exception to the OJT contract with Q Automation,
authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to approve as many placements and training plans funded with
non-WIA dollars as grant funds allow. WIA funded OJT placements will remain limited to a maximum of
five placements and/or $40,000. Motion adopted.
6. Consent Agenda and Committee Reports
Chad Pettera reported that a finance report was provided as a handout. Expenditures and revenues are on
track overall. Dislocated Worker funding was expended faster and Adult funding slower than anticipated
for the semester. The audit is being finalized and will be presented to the LWIB Finance Committee for
review in the next few weeks. No findings were reported during the audit process.
Lawing reminded the LWIB that the 2014 Jobs FORE Youth golf tournament will be held on Friday,
April 25, 2014, at Auburn Hills Golf Course in Wichita. WA is seeking sponsors for the event overall

Registration is open on the WA website as well as sponsorship forms.
Lawing announced that the WA is the lead applicant of a consortium applying to the Department of
Labor for a Youth Connect Grant. A summary of the partner agencies and the application was included
in the packet. If awarded, the grant could total $10 million over four year, starting in August 2014.

Staff Reports
Background
Staff submits the following staff reports for review and consideration.
1. Financial Update
A financial update will be provided to the LWIB as a handout at the meeting.
Creation of the Jack Jonas Memorial Scholarship
One of the key community partners of the Workforce Alliance (WA) is the Cerebral Palsy
Research Foundation (CPRF). One example of this partnership is the nearly 100 young people
that have participated in the Business Fundamentals for Youth program, all receiving either or
both a high school diploma and certification in a Microsoft software tool (Word, Excel, Power
Point). This is one of the many ways the WA and CPRF work together to leverage Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) resources in the region.
CPRF was founded in 1972 by Jack Jonas. His son Pat currently leads the organization and Pat
serves on the WA Executive Committee and Local Workforce Investment Board (LWIB).
The WA wanted to recognize the recent passing of Jack Jonas by creating an annual scholarship
in his name awarded to help a youth with disabilities achieve their academic and career goals.
Mr. Jonas was an unsung hero in this community for over 40 years, and his vision that barriers
can be overcome and his commitment to creating a culture of understanding and success has
impacted the lives of thousands of people not only in Wichita but across the country. It is critical
that the legacy he helped create continue, and this annual scholarship is one modest way the WA
can do this.
In coordination with CRPF, the WA Executive Committee directed staff to develop criteria and a
selection process with plans to award the first annual Jack Jonas scholarship in the summer of
2014.
