Discussion
|
This Agreement currently provides One-Stop Career Center services, a Year Round Youth Program, and the Jobs Now Program. This Eighth Amendment increases the amount of the Agreement for additional participants in the Year Round Youth Program for FY 2003-04, assessments performed by the One-Stop Career Center for Dislocated Workers to be enrolled into the biotech training program offered through Skyline College, and an additional cycle of training for the Medical Billing and Coding instructions. Additionally, this Amendment extends the term of the Agreement so that services may continue until the Youth Request for Proposal For FY 2004-05 can be completed.
|
|
|
The Board of Supervisors is being asked to temporarily waive the Request for Proposal Process to extend the term of this Agreement so there is no break in services. County Counsel has reviewed and approved this Eighth Amendment as to form. Risk Management has approved the Contractor’s Insurance.
