Title
Substitute resolution relating to programming and expenditures for the Summer Jobs for Adults Initiative.
Analysis
This resolution approves, and authorizes execution of, amended agreements between the City and the Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board for implementation of the Summer Jobs for Adults Initiative as part of the transitional jobs component of the Compete Milwaukee plan. It also authorizes the appropriate City officials to expend the funds in the Summer Jobs for Adults Initiative Special Purpose Account as necessary to implement the Initiative and in accordance with these agreements, and directs the City Comptroller to make the necessary fund transfers.
Body
Whereas, On November 7, 2014, the Common Council adopted File Number 140889, a resolution expressing support for the $2 million Compete Milwaukee plan, a partnership of Mayor Barrett, the Common Council, workforce development agencies and private employers to make strategic workforce development investments that will address the problem of underemployment among Milwaukee residents; and
Whereas, Under the approved Compete Milwaukee plan, the 2015 Budget provides funding necessary to hire and compensate transitional job placements within City departments in 2015; and
Whereas, To implement this component of Compete Milwaukee, the City's existing transitional jobs program partnership with the Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board ("MAWIB"), was continued and expanded; and
Whereas, As part of File Number 140889, and to effectuate the City’s partnership with MAWIB, the Common Council approved the following documents:
1. Transform Milwaukee Young Adult Work Opportunity Agreement/Worksite Agreement (between the City and MAWIB).
2. City of Milwaukee Transitional Jobs Program Young Adult Work Opportunity Agreement/Worksite Agreement Addendum (also between the City and MAWIB).
; and
Whereas, The 2015 Adopted Budget provides $150,000 in a new Summer Jobs for Adults Initiative Special Purpose Account to provide jobs experience for adult Milwaukeeans who reside in areas of the city with severe economic distress; and
Whereas, This new SPA is intended to supplement Compete Milwaukee funding; and
Whereas, In order for the SPA funding to be used as intended, the City’s existing transitional jobs contracts with MAWIB need to be amended and the expenditure of the funds must be authorized; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the amended agreements between the City and the Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board for implementation of a Summer Jobs for Adults Initiative component of the Compete Milwaukee transitional jobs program, as contained in Exhibit A attached to and made a part of this file, are approved; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the appropriate City officials are authorized to execute documents that are in substantially the same form as the documents in Exhibit A; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the appropriate City officials are authorized to expend the funds in the Summer Jobs for Adults Initiative Special Purpose Account as necessary to implement the Initiative and in accordance with the agreements in Exhibit A; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the City Comptroller is directed to transfer funds from the Summer Jobs for Adults Initiative SPA to other accounts as necessary to carry out the intent of this resolution.
