REFERRALS FROM OTHER COMMITTEES:
Planning & Economic
Employment
and Training Director Jerry Garmong requested approval to fill a Summer
Remedial Teacher/Counselor (Non Union) position at an hourly rate of $12. Additional temporary staff is necessary to
assist with instruction and supervision of approximately 80 disadvantaged youth
to be employed at various worksites throughout the County. Delivery and coordination of services will
not function as efficiently or meet the requirements of the New York State
Department of Labor without filling the position. Mr. Garmong stated that they would most
likely need to hire three to four of the Summer Remedial Teacher/Counselors. The positions are federally funded, and Mr.
Garmong assured committee members that he would only hire the number of
positions that can be financed with grant funds. The program usually serves about 65 to 100 youth. They have about $60,000 left from 2009, and
the total allocation is about $100,000 to $150,000 more than previous
years. The request to fill three to four
positions was approved on a motion by Legislator Sinclair, seconded by Legislator
Burdick, and carried. Notify
