County and $64630 - City) ~ ~ PROPOSED BUDGET SALARY & CLASSIFICATION GRADE SALARY BENEFITS Personnel Technician 59(52) $646 $6390 Training 1900 Office Machine Mechanic 61 676 5904 Protec Clothing 41 Accounting Tech II 65 809 7966 Machine Rental 500 Maintenance Mech IV 64 773 5078 Mileage Reimburs 150 Maintenance Mech II 60 646 6390 Stationary & Off 181 Supplies Sub Total $31728 Sub Total 2772 31728 Total Allocation $34500 Page Three 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 Respite Care INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTRACTORS PUBLIC SERVICE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM CETA TITLE II I General Contracting Information All positions must be listed with the local Employment Security Commission office for 48 hours to provide ESC the opportunity to refer eligible applicants After 48 hours, the contractor may consider any applications In addition, positions should be advertised in local papers and by Public Service radio announcements Every effort must be made to employ a qualified Vietnam Era veteran The files of the contractor should contain written proof of such effort, prior to employing a non-veteran The most common method is a letter to local veteran's organizations telling of the position II Eligibility Requirements To be eligible for employment in the Public Service Employment program, a person must be a resident of the geographic area designated in the program operator's contract, and meet one of the following requirements 1 -
