RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE TO SET SALARIES FOR THE POSITIONS OF SYEP PARTICIPANTS
WHEREAS, the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) provides State funds to the Department of Family Services who in turn has a MOA with the Sullivan County Center for Workforce Development to administer the New York State Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP); and
