HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 05211991 - 1.47 1-047 TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS t FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator Contra Costa DATE: April 24, 1991 County SUBJECT: participation in 1991 Summer Youth Employment and Training Program SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION Authorize the County Administrator to execute an agreement between the County and the Contra Costa County Office of Education, under the terms of which 1991 Summer Youth Employment and Training Program (SYETP) partici- pants will be placed in various County departments to receive work experience during the period June 17, 1991 through August 23, 1991, contingent upon execution of a master 1991 SYETP contract between the Contra Costa County Private Industry Council (County Department) and the Contra Costa County Office of Education for provision of the 1991 SYETP. FINANCIAL IMPACT The placement of 1991 SYETP participants in various County departments will result in no additional personnel costs to the County, and the additional work provided by the participants should be of more value than the cost of supervision, work tools, and other costs necessary to support the additional workers. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND SYETP provides needed job-related training and income for low income youth of the County, while at the same time providing needed services which cannot be met by existing County staff. Each year the federal government provides funds to the County to conduct youth employment and training programs, and regularly the Board has authorized departments to participate in the program as they so choose. The program has proven to be beneficial to both the departments and the youth who -participate. The recommended action will authorize department heads to enter into agreements with representatives of the Contra Costa County Office of Education to place youth in work employment and training slots within various departments determined by the department head. l CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: YES SIGNATURE: RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE APPROVE OTHER SIGNATURE(S) ACTION OF BOARD ON APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED X OTHER VOTE OF SUPERVISORS UNANIMOUS (ABSENT ) I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE AYES: NOES: AND CORRECT COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN ABSENT: ABSTAIN: AND ENTERED ON THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN.
