RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached Resolution allocating funds in the amount of $138,600 to
Belafonte Tacolcy Center, Inc. and $66,795 to Youth Co -Op, Inc. to
assist in operating the 1988 Summer Youth Employment Program through
the Department of Community Development..
BACKGROUND:
The South Florida Employment and Training Consortium (SFETC) has
notified the Department of Community Development that it has been
approved for Summer Youth Employment Training Program funding in the
amount of $762,972. This funding will provide summer jobs for
approximately 659 youth between the ages of 14 to 21. This
allocation is approximately eighteen percent (18%) less than the FY
1987 allocation. However, a supplemental allocation may be
forthcoming, if the SFETC receives additional funds from the federal
government.
The Job Training Partnership Act was passed on October 13, 1982, to
establish employment and training programs for youth and individuals
who are unskilled, economically disadvantaged and face serious
barriers to employment. Title II-B of the Act authorizes funds from
the United States Department of Labor for the Summer Youth Employment
and Training Program, including that administered by the City of
Miami.
Two (2) subcontractors have been selected to assist the Department. of
Community Development in operating the Summer Youth Employment_ and
Training Program (SYETP)% Belafonte Tacolcy Center, Inc. and Youth
Co -Op, Inc.
Belafonte Tacolcy Center would operate a dropout
for in school youth identified as such at Miami
High School. This component of the SYETP aims at
youth identified as potential dropouts for acaden
attendance, appropriate levels of effort an
behavioral standards. This is the second ye
program. A youth may remain in the program for

takes him/her to graduate from high school. In addition, for those
youth who remain in school to graduate, the program offers the
opportunity for permanent full-time positions following their high
school graduation. Four hundred forty-four (440) participants would
be served.
Youth Co -Op would operate a drop -out prevention component for 155
students at Miami Senior High School. In addition, the Agency would
operate a work experience component for 64 in -school. youth who are
not potential dropouts.
The Department of Community Development reviewed proposals from five
(5) agencies which responded to the request for proposals to assist
the Department in this effort. A total of ten (10) agencies were
initially contacted. Belafonte Tacolcy Center and Youth Co -Op were
selected based on their previous experience in assisting the City,
and their capability as evaluated by the SFETC.
The attached resolution allocates $138,600 to Belafonte Tacolcy
Center, Inc. and $66,795 to Youth Co-oP, Inc., and authorizes City
Manager to execute agreements with these agencies to assist_ in
implementing the FY 1988 SYETP.
