FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM The Honorable Mayor and Members GATE: of the City Commission SUBJECT T 93750636 P.03 Proposed Resolution FILE FROM: Cesar H. Odio REFERENCES: Summer Employment Program City Manager ENCLOSURES; RECONWENDATIO It is respectfully recommended that a Resolution authorizing the funding of a Youth Summer Employment Program, within the Overtown area, and allocating funds therefor, in an amount not to exceed 510,000.00, be approved. Funding is to be provided from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, from a Project Number and Index Code to be later determined by the Chief of Police. RACI{�UNR: Due to budget constraints within the Federal and State Governments, summcr cmployment programs for youths have been dramatically affected. The end result of these cuts may leave numerous youths idle on our streets. Idleness which may lead to some of the youth committing criminal offenses. The Overtown NET Service Center, in conjunction with Overtown residents and community organizations, wishes to sponsor a nine (9) week comprehensive Summer Employment Program. The Program will target 200 youths in the Overtown area, between the ages of 16-21. They will be paid $5.00 per hour, for a minimum of 25 hours per week, up to a maximum of 30 hours per week. The selected youths will undergo mandatory training on employability skills and job preparation. This will ensure the youths are job -ready before being placed on a job site.
