Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes and directs the Executive Director of the Civil Service Commission to enter into a not-for-profit service contract in the amount of $195,000.00 with Central Ohio Workforce Investment Corporation (COWIC). This $195,000.00 expenditure is allocated to support the City's partnership with COWIC for the implementation of the 2013 Restoration Academy Program. The program will identify 15 individuals, through COWIC and its partnering agencies, to receive a myriad of programs and services including health assessments, life and occupational skills training, nutrition and fitness programs, etc. designed to assist participants with successfully transitioning back into the community and workforce. This partnership is necessary because the City does not offer many of the specialized services critical to the success of this program.
FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $195,000.00 from the 2013 General Fund operating budget for the 2013 Restoration Academy Program. Civil Service budgeted $195,000 in the 2013 General Fund budget for the partnership with Central Ohio Workforce Investment Corporation (COWIC) for the implementation of the 2013 Restoration Academy Program.
