TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: SUPERVISOR JEFF SMITH _ Contra
Costa
DATE: MARCH 21, 1995 County
SUBJECT: CONSIDER A POSITION IN SUPPORT OF H.R.1158 WHICH WOULD RESTORE 80%OF THIS SUMMER'S
YOUTH EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
ADOPT a position in support of restoration of at least 80% of this summer's Summer Youth Employment and
Training Program; and
DIRECT the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to send letters to the President and California's United States Senators
expressing the Board's support of SYETP and urging opposition to cuts passed by the House of Representatives.
REFER the issue to the Countywide Youth Commission for consideration and comments.
BACKGROUND:
There is a move in Washington to rescind funds and eliminate this summer's SYETP (Summer Youth Employment
& Training Program); for Contra Costa it means the elimination of $1.6 million, loss of 1,200 paid job slots for
low income youth, loss of $900,000 of discretionary income into the local economy ($70,000 of sales tax).
An amendment has been offered by Congressman Dooley (see attached) which would restore 80% of this summer's
SYETP by offsetting cuts in other JTPA accounts - principally national programs (Job Corps) and discretionary
"slush fund" accounts of the Department of Labor. Supposedly this is the only amendment that will be considered
on the House.side, and Congressman Dooley is under intense pressure to withdraw it.
The SYETP program is an extremely effective program that is supported by the Private Industry Council. Its loss
would affect many young people in Contra Costa County. It would be in the interests of Contra Costa County and
its youth for the Board of Supervisors to support H.R. 1158.
