FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the County General Fund. These monies would be disbursed from a special trust fund
established by the payment of fees by ConocoPhillips.
BACKGROUND
When the Board of Supervisors approved the ConocoPhillips Refinery Project in September 2007,
ConocoPhillips voluntarily agreed to a condition of approval under which they would pay an Industrial Job
Training and Educational Support Fee to Contra Costa County in the amount of$500,000.
The specific terms of the condition of approval are as follows:
"ConocoPhillips agrees to pay an Industrial Job Training and Educational Support Fee to Contra Costa
County in the amount of$100,000 on January 1, 2008, $200,000 on January 1,2009, and$200,000 on
January 1, 2010. Payment shall be made at the beginning of each one year period. The fee shall be
deposited for programs and services which support education, career training,and life skills. The fee
shall be deposited in a dedicated account to be used, upon approval by the Board of Supervisors,for
programs and services which support the educational,career training,and life skills development of
Contra Costa County youth and young adults in preparation for careers that support the economic
vitality of Contra Costa County including those in industry and manufacturing. The intent of this
condition is to provide an appropriate level of funding that can be used for programs and services
which focus on developing the knowledge,skills,abilities and employment readiness that are
necessary in order to enter various job training programs including those in the industrial and
manufacturing sectors."
Independent Living Skills Program. The Independent Living Skills Program(ILSP) is designed to
prepare young people in foster care and group homes for transition to adulthood. ILSP offers a range of
services to foster youth ages 15.5 through 21 years old. These services include daily living skills, money
management, career and educational planning, employment preparation and housing assistance. ILSP also
arranges and assists with college visits, selection and application of financial aid for those young adults who
are moving on to higher education. The programmatic goal with this requested authorization of funds is to
enable the young adults to achieve self-sufficiency before leaving the foster care system and to provide
support services upon emancipation.
The intent of this board order is to create a program to be named the Contra Costa County Foster Youth
Employment Services program or Project YES that would provide entry-level job opportunities and
educational opportunities to untrained and economically disadvantaged emancipating foster youth who are
transitioning out of the system. These youth often have no safety net, are unemployed or become
unemployed,or fall into the hidden homeless population. Studies and regional evidence have also shown
that a significant number of these young adults end up in expensive systems of care, such as jail and
welfare. Prior to the development of the Emancipated Foster Youth Employment Program,the county had
limited job opportunities for qualified emancipated foster youth, and the existing job opportunities were
only available within the Social Services Agency. In early 2008, five county departments, Workforce
Development Board, General Services,Employment and Human Services,Animal Services, ILSP as well
as the office of Supervisor Susan A. Bonilla came together to begin discussions on how to develop a pilot
employment program for youth to receive training for temporary,paid assignments. In the summer of 2008,
Page 3
General Services and ILSP identified five students to be interviewed,trained, and hired for either one or
two paid positions within the General Services Department. General Services has hired two(2)
emancipated foster youth and will begin their training in August 2008. The county wanted to use the
momentum to pursue the creation of a broader, long-term employment program for emancipating foster
youth.
The vision or future for Project YES would be to serve emancipating foster youth from Contra Costa
County upon the completion of their junior year of high school until their 25`x'birthday. Once the County
has the capacity to administer a long-term employment program,the program would allow eligible youth
the opportunity to be considered for entry-level County jobs. Eligible youth would attend an EFYET
Application Workshop and submit an on-line County application. Applications would be reviewed by
Contra Costa County Human Resources. Those meeting the minimum qualifications for entry level County
jobs would receive a letter stating that they have been accepted into the applicant pool. Applications are
kept on file for one year. During that time,when there is an opening for a position that the youth has
indicated they would be interested in,they may receive a letter inviting them to an interview. The youth
then has three days to respond to Human Resources to schedule an interview. Youth who are hired will be
hired as unclassified employees with full health benefits. After a three month period of successful job
performance,they are eligible for recommendation by their supervisor to become a permanent employee.
At that time,they are required to take the employment test for their job classification. If they pass the test,
they then become a probationary County employee. Once they successfully complete their probationary
period,they become a permanent and coded County employee. ,
In addition, emancipating Foster Youth would have the opportunity to participate in intensive educational
support programs including workshops on study skills,time management and career exploration. Identified
youth would learn about the various educational opportunities available for them to pursue post secondary
education and training. Youth would receive one-on-one support in completing admission and financial aid
applications. In addition, emancipated youth will participate in college or vocational school tours to learn
about the respective programs.
These funds that are being requested will be used for the expansion of this summer's pilot project to build a
sustainable foster youth job training capacity in Contra Costa County which be implemented in the form of
Project YES. The expectation would be to leverage these funds with other grants to expand the program to
serve as many foster youth as possible.
Workforce Development Board (WDB)Youth Services. The WDB Youth Program provides
employment services to youth including paid and unpaid work experience,occupational skill training,
tutoring, study skills training, alternative secondary school services, mentoring, and comprehensive
guidance and counseling.
East County has the highest percentage.of youths under the age of 18. There are areas in East County, such
as in Bay Point,that lack community youth activities such as organized recreation,bowling,and movie
theaters. Southeast Antioch and Brentwood have seen an increase in youth crime and gang activity.
Several East County communities are also experiencing high unemployment.
The proposed funding grant would allow the Workforce Development Board to provide constructive
services to East County youths to help them stay in school,prepare for jobs,and gain those skills and habits
that lead towards economic 'self sufficiency and away from crime and other negative behaviors and lifestyle
choices.
