Discussion followed and Mr. Fales, Assistant City Manager Smith and City Attorney Schricker replied to questions and commented concerning the number of jobs likely to be available ; the administration of the program and the fee allowable for such administration; the experience of the Urban League in administering such Programs; the tem- porary nature of the jobs available, the requirements with regard to personnel, training and office space if the City were to handle administration; the desirability of commencing the program as soon as possible so that persons participating may obtain the available jobs promptly and gain some experience; the fact that it is acknowledged the program is not necessarily set up in the best possible way from all points of view, but that it is the program presently being offered by the federal government and advantage should be taken of it; and the necessity of consulting, rather than meeting and confer- ring, with the union representing certain municipal em- ployees concerning the jobs to be offered under the program. Miguel Maldonado, Chairman of the Fair Oaks Community Center Advisory Board, asked if it is possible to separate programs under Title II and Title VI. Mr. Smith advised that it may be possible, but the subject was not pursued. Mr. Maldonado objected to the selection of the Bay Area Urban League to administer the program, suggesting they have not done a good job in the past. Mr. Smith explained that no other agency known at this time has the requisite experience and advised that many of the problems attributed to the Urban League in the past occurred because of the abdication of responsibility of others and should not re- flect unfavorably upon the League . Mr. Maldonado stated he would support the staff recommen- dation that the City become a program agent for CETA -5- Reg.Mtg. 7/21/75
