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.

Authorizing the County Administrator to execute the agreement will expedite
the process. The program is scheduled to begin on June 17, 1991.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
The consequence of negative action would be to deny County departments of
needed human resources and many low income youth a meaningful job-related
training experience.
