MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Dianne Russell, Director Senior Employment/SCSEP Suzanne A. Hutton ( AD( Assistant County Attorney ~ '\ DATE: June 29, 2001 SUBJECT: South Florida Employment & Training Consortium Contract I am writing this memo to advise you of provisions in the South Florida Employment & Training Consortium Contract which is supposed to commence July 1, 2001 which may cause you problems or extra work. First, I have no idea what all documentation and elements are necessary for the full contract package if they are not included with the paperwork submitted to me. There is a statement that the contract will not be executed if there is not an inclusion of a recent audit report and all insurance and bonding policies. Therefore, at the very least, you are going to have to produce a recent audit report, presumably with respect to the Senior Community Service Program as it has previously been administered, and a statement from Risk Management as to insurance and bonding coverage. Under Attachment A, Section V, third paragraph, it appears to me that we will be required at some point in time to affirm that 59% of those participants in the community service work experience under this agreement are subsequently employed at least 15 hours a week at a pay of at least $5.50 per hour. This may mean that the County assumes some responsibility in assisting such placement as well as in tracking work history after completion of the community service experience in order to provide such a report. I see nothing else in this preliminary agreement which might Increase the County's responsibilities over prior agreements. Please feel free to call if you have any questions. SAH:ss Ene.
