DATE: rye-f6u-
SUBJECT: Participation in the 1997 Summer Youth Employment and Training Program
SPECIFIC REOUEST(SLOR 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 1997 Summer Youth Employment and Training Program (SYETP) participants will be
placed in various County departments to receive work experience during the period of May 26, 1997 through August 29,
1997 contingent upon execution of a master 1997 SYETP contract between the Contra Costa County Private Industry
Council (County Department)and the Contra Costa County Office of Education for provision of the 1997 SYETP.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: -
The placement of 1997 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 agreement with representatives of the Contra Costa
County Office of Education to place youth in work employment and training slots within various department determined by
the department head.
Authorizing the County Administrator to execute the agreement will expedite the process. The program is scheduled to
begin on May 26, 1997.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The consequence of negative action would be to deny County departme f needed human resources and any low income
youth a meaningful job-related training experience.
