FLORIDA INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM �° TheHonorable Mayor and Members DATE JUL J i992 FILE of the City Commission Resolution Accepting SUBJECT an Increase of Funding for the Summer Youth � Employment Program -Rom � RECERENCES Cesar H. Od City Manager ENCLOSURES RECOMMENDATION: _ It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution which authorizes the City Manager to accept an increase in the grant from the South Florida Employment and Training Consortium to operate the 1992 Summer Youth Employment and Training Program and further authorizes the City Manager to amend the necessary implementing agreement with the South Florida Employment and Training Consortium (SFETC). BACKGROUND: The Department of Community Development has prepared legislation authorizing the City Manager to accept an increase in a grant from the South Florida Employment and Training Consortium (SFETC) to operate the 1992 Summer Youth Employment and Training Program and further authorizes the City Manager to amend the necessary implementing agreement with the SFETC upon acceptance. The South Florida Employment and Training Consortium (SFETC) has advised the City that, as a result of federal legislation recently adopted which significantly increased funding for summer youth programs of the nation's 75 largest cities, the City has been allocated an additional $611,494 for its Summer Youth Employment and Training Program (SYETP). This increase raises the original allocation from $536,850 to $1,148,344 to operate the FY'92 Summer Youth Employment and Training Program (SYETP). The increased allocation will provide summer employment for an additional 300 youth between the ages of 14-21 and will also increase the maximum number of total hours the youth may work during the summer from 180 hours to 240 hours. The City's 1992 SYETP will employ 740 youth this summer. It should also be noted that the increase in participants will not result in an extensive recruiting campaign for additional youth. Due to the overwhelming response to the original intake activities conducted by staff, a waiting list of over 300 eligible youth has been developed and the additional slots will enable these youth to participate in the program. i11The proposed resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept 92- 512 9-1
