WHEREAS, the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) provides State funds to the Department of Social Services (DSS) who in turn has an MOU with the Sullivan County Center for Workforce Development (CWD) to administer the New York State Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP); and
WHEREAS, SYEP is an important platform to introduce eligible youth in the workforce, help them acquire skills that can be used to improve school performance, and become responsible adults. The youth participants are supervised and taught by Crew Leaders; and
WHEREAS, CWD currently has budgeted four (4) Crew Leader positions and is seeking to change one of the positions to a Supervising Crew Leader. This position will be responsible for supervising the other Crew Leaders, checking all sites, submitting payroll, covering other sites if a Crew Leader is out, and much more. This is a six (6) week program for participants, but the Crew Leaders and the Supervising Crew Leader may work additional weeks or hours if needed. The (3) three Crew Leader positions will be paid at a pay rate of $25 per hour, and the Supervising Crew Leader position will be paid at a pay rate of $28 per hour. Pay rates would be paid in accordance with the County of Sullivan’s payroll schedule and CWD is responsible for paying all payroll taxes, for an amount not to exceed $27,000; and
WHEREAS, all funds including salaries, benefits and taxes are paid for through OTDA under the MOU with DSS which is made available and in effect from May 1, 2025 through October 31, 2025; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Sullivan County Legislature hereby agrees to allow CWD to fill the three (3) Crew Leader positions at $25 per hour and the one (1) Supervising Crew Leader position at $28 per hour, for an amount not to exceed $27,000. All terms and conditions are contingent upon the County receiving the necessary funding allocations.
