COMMISSION MEMORANDUM NO. 21 D~ '18
-
TO:
Mayor Neisen O. Kasdin and
Memben of the City Co 'ssion
DATE: May 6, 1998
FROM:
Sergio Rodriguez
City Manager
SUBJECT:
ADOPTIO OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO
ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE SOUTH FLORIDA
EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING CONSORTIUM FOR THE PURPOSE OF
CONTINUING TO CONDUCT PROGRAMS UNDER THE JOB TRAINING
PARTNERSHIP ACT OF 1982.
ADMINISTRA nON RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The City is a member of the South Florida Employment and Training Consortium, whose legislative
body consists of representatives of Miami Dade County, Monroe County, the City of Hialeah, the
City of Miami, and the City of Miami Beach. The purpose of this Consortium is to implement and
operate an intergovernmental liaison office to continue to conduct programs on an area-wide basis
under the Job Training Partnership Act of 1982 and under the Jobs and Education Partnership
process. The mission of this Consortium is to: 1) serve as a partnership for workforce development;
2) coordinate service delivery activities to upgrade the workforce skills of area residents; and 3)
increase employment opportunities for economically disadvantaged residents, including dislocated
and long-term unemployed workers through the increased involvement of the business community.
This interaction involves small businesses, minority business enterprises, women in business, and other
representatives of the profit and non-profit organizations. The Adult programs offer job training and
employment assistance. The Youth programs are year-round programs and provide a wide array of
important services that prepare local youth for entry into the workforce.
Even though the City previously received $21,000, due to funding reductions, the City has received
no direct dollars for the past two years. However, the Miami Beach Community Development
Corporation received $75,000 this period to serve 60 people in the Refugee Employment and
Training Program. Additional information related to programs offered under the Consortium was
included in LTC 53-1998 dated April 28, 1998.
.. . continued
AGENDA ~:T~ <t.7~
Page Two
Presently, $34 Million is received in grants. Last year's grant amount was $29 Million. All funds
allocated to the SFETC are federally funded and given to Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties via the
S tate of Florida.
There are approximately 50 agencies in Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties that receive funding from
this program. (A separate mailing will be distributed showing the list of service providers.) The
grant dollars are used to serve the citizens of Miami-Dade County, including the City of Miami
Beach. The services offered to assist our citizens include: Economically Disadvantaged Adults,
Summer Youth Employment and Training Program, Economically Disadvantaged Youth, Dislocated
Workers and Homemakers, Refugee Employment and Training Program, and Welfare participants.
The City's representative is the City Manager. (The actual rule is: The chief elected official or the
chief non-elected/appointed official. The appointed official shall be designated by the respective
legislative body.) At the present time, this role has been filled by the Human Resources Director,
T. C. Adderly.
The City's exposure is 5% of any financial loss incurred by virtue of the Consortium failing to fulfill
its responsibilities properly. However, no liability has been incurred within the last 15 years. The
City of Miami Beach may, at any time up to July 1, 1998 or within 90 days of the expiration date
of the proposed two year Agreement, cancel their participation in this Agreement.
ANAL YSIS:
This Agreement will ensure that the City of Miami Beach's citizens receive employment and training
services. These services are offered to citizens within our City limits as well as other parts of our
county. Programs sponsored by the Consortium aim to improve theability of disadvantaged citizens
to become productive participants in our local economy. The benefits of such programs naturally
flow back and forth across local boundaries and enhance the overall well being of the Greater Miami
area.
CONCLUSION:
The Administration recommends adoption of the attached Resolution which authorizes the execution
of an Agreement with the South Florida Employment and Training Consortium, effective July 1,
1998 through June 30, 2000. By approving this Agreement, the Mayor and Commissioners will
ensure that the C.ty of Miami Beach will be one of the governing bodies making decisions relative
to the benefits of this program.
