ENCLOSURES:
It is recommended that a resolution be passed
authorizing the City Manager to acquire
professional services
from the
Be lafonte
Tacolcy Center to
provide
for
the
implementation and operation of
the
JTPA
Title II-B Summer
Youth Employment
and
Training Program in an amount not
to exceed
$279,250, allocating
funds from
the
1986
Special Revenue Fund -
JTPA Title
II-B
SYETP
funds.
The South Florida Employment and Training Consortium (SFETC) has made
available 1986 funding for the Summer Youth Employment and Training
y{> : Program (SYETP) from the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) . This
y, yxprogram provides employment and training experiences for individuals
between the ages of 14 and 21.
To be considered eligible for funding, the City of Miami was given a
one week submission period with a deadline of March 31, 1986 to sub-
mit its final proposal, including the name of sub -contractor. This
restrictive time frame created an urgency to locate and assign a
subcontractor for City of Miami°s 1986 Summer Youth Employment and
Training Program.
Proposals were solicited from ten community based organizations
deemed eligible by the SFETC. Of the two positive responses
received, Belafonte Tacolcy Center emerged as the more qualified and
higher rated. The City of Miami has used the services of BTC the
last four years. Working in conjunction with BTC in 1985 the City
received a 98% rating out of a possible 100%.
Therefore it is recommended that authorization be given to acquire
the services of BTC to supply the necessary implementation support to
operate the Summer Youth and Employment and Training Program at a
cost of $279,250. The funds for these services will be available
from the 1986 JTPA Title II-B SYETP funds. The ethnic and geographic
target characteristics will be developed in accordance with the
specified goals of the Consortium. The Department of Parks and Rec-
