MEMORANDUM
TO Mr Dan Eller
FROM Jack DiSarno
RE Public Service Employment
I was recently informed that this County is eligible for Public Service
Employment Funds, (P S E )
Public Service Employment is one small part of the Comprehensive Employment
and Training Act (Title II) The Emergency Jobs Program is funded under Title
VI of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (C E T A )
I suggest that New Hanover County accept all P S E funds offered This program
is more beneficial to local government for a number of reasons
(1) The funding is fairly stable It should not fluctuate to the
degree that E J P funding has This will enable us to plan
and manage the program efficiently
(2) Employees under P S E receive a full range of fringe benefits
This should reduce turnover
(3) A considerable amount of money (up to 10% of the allocation) can
be spent for training, office supplies, mileage reinbursement, etc
This provision will allow us to reduce turnover and reduce the amount
of operating expense the County will have to absorb We will also
be able to establish specialized positions, e q Office Machine
Mechanic which require extensive training
The only significant disadvantage in this program (P S E ) is the requirement
that we transition 50% of the employees by the conclusion of the program An
identical requirement was included in the old Emergency Employment Act (P E P )
contract and we exceeded the 50% goal The County must simply agree to make a
"good faith effort" to transition half of the employees with any area employer

There has been a considerable amount of discussion as to whether New Hanover
County would be a "Program Agent" or "Contractor" in P S E At your request
I contacted Dick Crawford and suggested they become a Program Agent for their
P S E Program Dick stated, after discussing it with Joe Dixon, Personnel
Director, that they would prefer the County to be "Program Agent" and the City
to simply be a "Participating Unit " According to the Office of Manpower Ser-
vices the County would not have to write checks, or keep detailed records for the
City
Additionally, I was informed by the Office of Manpower Services that there is
no extra administrative workload associated with Program Agent status Last
winter I was informed by Manpower that Program Agent status would have asso-
ciated with it additional statistical requirements The only difference in
Program Agent status and Contractor status is that additional administrative
funds (10%) are available to Program Agents
I would like to point out that the Office of Manpower Services has suggested
and we have agreed that the predetermined allocation for the City and the
County be adhered to ($34500 - County and $64630 - City)

Requests for Manpower Positions
As you know, in recent months the County has received numerous requests from non-
profit agencies for positions funded by the Comprehensive Employment and Training
Act The requests have come from a wide variety of agencies including private
non-profit agencies
Most agencies that have submitted requests have not specified whether they were
requesting Emergency Jobs or Public Service positions However, at this time
this is an academic point because all of the Emergency Jobs funds available
have been committed for some time
A decision should be made with respect to whether or not the County will assign
positions to non-County agencies I feel that we should limit this program to
agencies which receive County funds Also a priority should be established
I would suggest that we give primary consideration to requests from County
departments and the Board of Education I would also suggest that only agencies
demonstrating a real need be considered Agencies that have had their workload
increased due to the economic downturn should receive favored treatment If the
County does decide to assign positions to agencies not under the supervision of
the Manager's Office,tight administrative controls should be utilized
Finally, only agencies that provide County-wide services should receive considera-
tion, and requests from City of Wilmington Departments should be funded from the
City's allocation
The following agencies have requested Manpower positions
United Way
Wilmington Housing Authority
U S Department of Agriculture
Employment Security Commission
St John's Art Gallery
New Hanover Drug Abuse Committee
Services for the Aging
Council for the Arts
Youth Help Inc
