MOU Amendment. A. For Purposes of the MOU amendments set forth below, language that is overstruck (e.g., overstruck) will be omitted from the MOU. Language that is italicized and boldfaced will be added to the MOU as indicated. The existing MOU including all current Side Letters, if applicable, between the Parties will, in all other respects, remain in effect without change through the new term specified below.
MOU Amendment. WIOA requires that the MOU contain provisions that specify when amendment of the MOU is required during the agreed upon MOU period. The circumstances listed below will require an amendment to the MOU. The Local WDB and partners may agree to additional circumstances that will prompt the amendment process. o The addition or removal of a partner entity. o A change of a One-Stop Operator, the physical location of a One-Stop center, or the administrative structure of a local workforce development system. o A substantial change that significantly alters negotiated terms of the MOU, such as changes in shared services, service delivery, referral methods, or cost sharing. Amendments that do not impact negotiated terms (e.g., the addition of another partner entity that decreases partner costs and does not impact shared services or the separation of a partner that has no impact on shared costs or services) need only be signed by the Local WDB chair, XXXX, and the affected partner(s). Any changes to the negotiated terms that affect all parties must be signed by all parties and may require re-negotiation. The reconciliation of the budget and IFA will not require an amendment to the MOU, but it may require an adjustment to the IFA if there is a substantial change. An amendment to the IFA will not require an amendment to the MOU. However, an IFA amendment will require signatures of the Local WDB chair, XXXX, and all local required partners. During reconciliation, the data for all IFAs will be generated and reviewed for statistical fluctuations. Data will be shared with local partners. If there is a substantial change, local partners can request that the IFA be amended to more accurately reflect the actual allocation of infrastructure costs in the location. Examples of how this could happen include but are not limited to: a number of staff either enter or exit the location; the size of the leased space decreases or increases; many computers that use the internet are installed at the location. Regardless of whether all parties have to sign, the MOU should include a process to ensure that all parties receive advance notice of the amendment and are provided the opportunity to comment. The MOU should also include a provision to ensure that each party receive a copy of each executed MOU amendment and updated budget and/or IFA, as applicable, within a timely manner, not to exceed 10 business days.
