"'.'cFUNDING FOR JOB PREPARATION PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND.AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider action to; be taken with regard to the request to provide matching
funds for the Contra Costa Black Chamber of Commerce Job Preparation
Program.
FINANCIAL- IMPACT:
.Requested funding is $30, 000. . This amount would have. to be absorbed within
the existing. Sheriff ' s budget by holding . vacancies open, or other
extraordinary measures, to be consistent with the Board' s direction of not
providing additional general fund dollars for new programs.
• BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa Black Chamber of Commerce has received a grant to prepare
unemployed, disadvantaged or low income- adults who lack employment skills
with necessary training and support. The grant requires a match, which has
been requested from the County.
The program is . a worthy one and will be very helpful to the Sheriff ' s
Department in their recruiting efforts. in West . County. The Chamber has
worked closely with the department to design a program that ' will result in
screened applicants who are ready to compete for positions in the Sheriff ' s
Department. This will complement the current efforts being made to recruit
in West County.
' The Sheriff, recognizing the value of the program, has offered to try to
absorb the cost of this program within his existing budget. However, the
effect of this, would be to reduce, the amount needed to operate the base
service level.
Alternatives to approving the request outright would be
to refer .it to the Finance Committee for further .review; or
to refer it to the Budget Committee for consideration with the 1988-89
budget.
