appropriate, then this IFA amendment will be modified as agreed to by all partners.
VIII. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute among or between the parties hereto shall be
addressed by the FRWDB in accordance with WIOA and the appropriate Final Rules
promulgated with respect thereto, as amended and applicable. Following a decision by

j procedures. Pending final resolution of a dispute hereunder, the parties involved shall
proceed diligently to perform their respective obligations under the Agreement in
accordance with the FRWDB decision, unless the parties have given a notice of
termination as provided for in Section IX.
IX. Termination. Use of funds identified in this IFA as being available to pay the costs,
charges, and fees set forth herein are contingent upon receipt of those funds by Partner.

or reduced such that Partner can no longer pay the costs set forth above. Such withdrawal
shall be effective with no less than a 30-day written notification to FAWIC that Partner
lacks funding, or upon the vacating of the premises by Partner, if applicable, whichever is
later.

OPERATIONAL DIRECTIVE
FRWIB OD # 06-16 Date Released: July 1, 2016
To: All Fresno Regional Workforce Development Board AJCC Partners and Service Providers
From: Blake Konczal, Executive Director
Effective Date: July 1, 2016
Subject: America's Job Centers of California (AJCC) Partner Referral Process
Applicable Program: All
Revision History: Initial Release
This Operational Directive (OD) replaces the referral process described in OD 35-05, Partner Co-Enrollment and
Referral Process. This OD obsoletes Form REG-102, Universal Referral Checklist and adds updated referral forms.
Partners may be required to use their own Release of Information form, instead of the Universal Release of
Information (Form REG-100) when making referrals to other Partners. Those Partners are required to identify the
approved form to be used when referring clients from their organization.
Purpose
As mandated by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act(WIOA), each Local Workforce Development Area
(LWDA) is required to have a documented process for referrals between partner agencies, as defined by WIOA
(mandated partners) and the local Board as AJCC partners (local one-stop partners).
The intent of a referral activity is to ensure that needed services for a client are provided through the most
appropriate funding stream in the most efficient manner and are not duplicative. The client should have an
experience that is as seamless as possible.
This OD describes, on page 2, the steps to be taken to facilitate a referral between any Partner agency, including
any of Fresno County's WIOA-funded programs, and to track the outcome of those referrals.
Each partner is required to identify all departments that provide the services described in their individual Partner
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)with the Fresno Regional Workforce Development Board. Additionally, each
partner and sub-contracted provider of service is required to identify a single point of contact (SPOC) for all
referrals to their agency and their full contact information (telephone number and email address). The FRWDB
Quality Systems Manager will be responsible for maintaining and disseminating this information.
PROCESS
Level I — Referrals to other partners or community services for perceived or stated needs of clients. Use Form
REG-108. There will be no follow-up for Level I Referrals. Referrals will be counted and reported, when appropriate.
Level II — Direct referral between partners for specific services. Use Form # REG-109. Referring partner will fill out
the form, contact the referred to agency single point of contact (SPOC) and make appointment for client if
