FINANCIAL IMPACT The placement of 1988 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 these 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.

Authorizing .the County Administrator to execute this agreement will expedite the process, as it is anticipated that completion of the master contract will be delayed. The program is scheduled to begin on June 27, 1988. 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.
