FILE NO. CC -37 f) Marcelo Lopez, Executive Director of the San Joaquin Private Industry Council, made a presentation to the City Council regarding the Summer Youth Employment Training Program, Summer Jobs `96. Since 1984 approximately 23,000 youths in Lodi have been provided with employment opportunities. There has been a huge reduction in the program for 1996. This year it is expected that the program will serve 450 youth less and the private sector is being called upon to help by 1) creating employment opportunities for the youth; 2) contribute money (approximately $1,200) to cover the wages and taxes that go with hiring a youth; or 3) loan staff to work with them to lower the administrative work and use that money to create an additional employment opportunity. Employers must pay at least the minimum wage of $4.25 per hour. The County has been separated into three parts: Central County, South County and North County. Lodi is in the North County and the goal is to provide 48 jobs. Les Dabritz, Chamber of Commerce and Lori Sabbatini, Arbor Convalescent Hospital, indicated their desire to participate in this county -wide effort and felt the goal will be reached. The Chamber sent out fliers regarding the program and a letter is forthcoming. Council Member Pennino invited Mr. Lopez to make a presentation regarding this matter at the next Youth Commission Meeting on May 9, 1996. Administrative Assistant Evans informed the City Council that the City of Lodi will have 129 positions (most of which are currently filled). Further, we will have additional positions during the fall. FILE NO. CC -7(b) g) Traffic Engineer Fernandez presented a report regarding the Bicycle Safety Grant. The City just received word that we will receive funds for a grant that was applied for in January. The City requested $36,000, but we will be receiving $46,000. The additional funds will be for bicycle helmets and for a community campaign/presentation equipment. Ms. Fernandez introduced Rick Kiriu, Traffic Engineer for the City of Lodi, who prepared the grant. This will be a joint effort between the Public Works and Police Departments and will include making presentations to kindergarten through 6th grade students, making suggested routes for the schools to give to parents, and also administrating bicycle rodeos with the grant. Community Service Officer Mary Fuhs and Police Lieutenant David Main were recognized for their assistance with the grant and various programs. One of the reasons for the additional funding is because of the City's high number of bicycle accidents, which the City will target by educating students. The first bicycle lane was striped today along Hutchins Street. The City Council and public was invited to attend the Bike Lane Dedication Celebration on Friday, May 3, 1996 at 9:00 a.m. at Legion Park. Bike safety pamphlets and maps are available. FILE NO.
