by April 1st. Ramsey County (except for the City of St. Paul)
is expected to receive between $600,000 and $1.2 million. The
project proposals are to be project oriented -- meaning a defined
task to be completed in a certain time frame. The job created
also is to be one that wouldn't ordinarily be accomplished with
existing funds and personnel.
Staff has been working on project proposals. One suggestion
submitted is a program for the mentally retarded.
The Admin. requested Council authorization to review and submit
applications for funding. The deadline is next Monday so there
is inadequate time for Council review. This is a Title 6 program.
There are virtually no clerical people available, but there are
many laborers available.
Mayor Pickar suggested an application for a person to become
knowledgeable of grant procedures. Admin. Achen indicated that
would be a long -term project, unless the position was funded for
one particular grant.: Grant administration really is an ongoing
project, it would be difficult to apply it as a definable, short
term task.
Admin. Achen also explained that the problem with hiring laborers
for maintenance duties is being careful to not take routine duties
away from the permanent maintenance employees. He also stated that
what CETA funds is the labor costs which is usually 50% of the
project cost -- the balance is for materials, transportation and
supervision which the city pays for.
Councilmember Ziebarth suggested an individual to round up city
materials from the consulting engineer's office that belong to
the city or someone to begin categorizing the materials in the
city's storage room.
MSP (Pickar - Ziebarth) to authorize the Administrator to submit
application for CETA funding of project oriented positions prior
to the deadline.
