RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, on behalf of the Workforce Development Board, to execute a contract amendment with the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County, effective October 31, 2009, to extend the term from October 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010 with no change in the payment limit of $1,399,976 to continue to provide Employer of Record payroll services for youth 14 to 24 years of age.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County Costs: 99% Federal American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) Youth Funds; 1% Community Services Block Grant Funding ($99,000) and Clorox Foundation Funding ($3,500).

BACKGROUND:

The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County (WDB) has received ARRA funding from the Department of Labor to implement the Summer Youth Employment Program under the regulations of the Workforce Investment Act. This contract will establish the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County (Agency) as the Employer of Record providing general liability and workers compensation insurance to enrolled youth ages 14 to 24. Under this contract the Housing Authority will administer payroll to youth employed in worksites throughout Contra Costa County.

This amendment will allow the Housing Authority to continue Employer of Record services directly to youth employed in worksites throughout Contra Costa County. (18-226-2)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
