TREASURE COAST JOB TRAINING <br />Commissioner Bird explained a new summer youth <br />employment program being offered through the Treasure Coast <br />Job Training Center. Grant money of approximately $800,000 <br />will be available to private and public sector employers in <br />the three -county area to be spent between April 1,-1984 and <br />September 30, 1984 to provide employment for young people <br />during the summer months. The private sector got first shot <br />at it, but there is some money left over and the County <br />applied in order to hire some young people who would <br />primarily assist in summer recreation programs. The School <br />Board has also requested that some of these young people <br />assist them in their summer programs. Approximately 20 high <br />school seniors would be hired with no obligation on the <br />County's part except for whatever work materials they need, <br />adequate supervision, and Workers Compensation coverage. <br />Personnel Manager Lois Hoder, who handled this matter during <br />the absence of Intergovernmental Director Tommy Thomas, <br />understood that the contract calls for the "operator" to <br />provide Workers Compensation coverage, and she pointed out <br />that the Treasure Coast Job Training Center has signed the <br />contract as the "Operator." <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, that the <br />Board authorize the County to enter into an <br />agreement with the Treasure Coast Job Training <br />Program to employ 20 young people under the <br />summer youth training program for work in various <br />summer recreation programs. <br />In discussion, Director Thomas assured Commissioner <br />Lyons that these young people would be adequately <br />supervised. <br />59 <br />JUN 13 1984 90GK 57 P'GE 454 <br />
