Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA's) for the 2022 Summer Youth Employment Program.
Background Information
The Gila County Board of Supervisors developed a Countywide Summer Work Employment Program for youth, ages 16 - 20, that includes participation with cities, towns, and one school district throughout Gila County. An IGA form was developed with the County Attorney's Office that includes costs and responsibilities for both parties relative to the program.
The 2022 Summer Work Program will begin on June 6, 2022, through July 15, 2022, for a total of 6 weeks. Each worker will be compensated $12.80 per hour for a total of 40 hours per week.
Evaluation
The IGA's include the number of workers allocated to each agency and the total amount of funding that will be reimbursed to each agency upon the receipt of an invoice and the required backup documentation. Further, the IGA's clearly explain the responsibilities of Gila County and the individual agency.
The IGA's have been approved by the Councils of the City of Globe, Town of Miami, Town of Hayden, Town of Winkelman, Town of Payson, and the Young School Board approved the Young Public School IGA and the Superintendent of the Hayden-Winkelman Unified School District.
Conclusion
The Countywide 2022 Summer Work Employment Program will benefit the youth that are employed by developing employable skills and provide them with a positive work experience.
