to PERS and TERS.
4. Worker’s Compensation, Procurement Rate, and Revolving Fund Changes
• Worker’s Compensation – Allocate based on district’s experience with Labor and
Industries (per L&A backup).

Enterprise Services.
• Revolving Funds – Allocate to future allocations
5. Aerospace and STEM Enrollments
• Allocate Aerospace FTES (230) using Request for Proposal (RFP).
• Allocate STEM FTES (100) based on college pro-rata share of STEM Enrollments.

funding proposals and the recommendations made by IC, ABE Funding Work Group, and Council of
Basic Skills (CBS).
MOTION:
It was moved and seconded that WACTC adopt option 1, as presented below, for
one year and for IC to study the imbalance to small programs as brought forward
by CBS until the new state plan is developed and that in the event that the
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) authorization is deferred beyond Fiscal Year (FY)
