Elroy J. Kelzenberg, Director Bureau of Employment and Training CITY of SOUTH BEND PETER J. NEMETH, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 219/284-9422 April 6, 1977 MEMO To: Common Council From: Elroy J. Kelzenberg Subject: Proposed CETA Titl*Summ ou th P ogram Budget I am submitting for your consideration and approval the proposed CETA Title III Line Item Budget for Summer 1977 Youth Employment Program. Due to allocation decisions by the Department of Labor, available funds for the Summer Youth Program have been reduced rather signif- icantly. Whereas, last summer approximately $868,000 was available, of which slightly under $700,000 was expended, the City of South Bend allocation for the summer of 1977 is a total of $622,375. That allocation includes funds carried out and unexpended from last summer's program. I am enclosing for your information the Line Item Expenditures during the summer 1976 program. The proposed 1977 summer budget reflects several major changes from previous summers. In the first place, the administration, planning and design of the program is being handled by existing administrative staff, thereby, eliminating the need for a specially hired summer director. Instead of this option, we have, with the advice and recommendation of the CETA Advisory Council, developed Subgrant agreements with community based organ- izations and with the School Corporation to run portions of the Summer Program. Specifically, five (5) community organizations will be subgrant agencies, namely, the Urban League, Hansel Center, YMCA,YWCA, and the Youth Services Bureau (YSB). In addition, the school corporation will sponsor a reading and math assistance program for 14 -T6 year olds in conjunction with the work program. In order to lend as much fiscal information as possible about the several aspects of the program, we are using a series of program activity codes following the account numbers. Each 160 account on the proposed budget relates to our own inhouse expenses. The 165
