Resolution - City Council: Consider a resolution approving a contract amendment to American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Agreement No. 17174, between the City of Lubbock and YWCA of Lubbock, for job training services.

Item Summary

On February 28, 2023, the City Council approved an agreement with the YWCA of Lubbock for job training services.  The agreement was in the amount of $420,000 and the term set forth in the agreement is through September 30, 2024. The YWCA of Lubbock conducts classes to train students in a child care professional accelerator program.  Students enrolled in the program receive a minimum of 120 hours of instruction and 480 hours of work experience over a 15-18 week period.  The program includes working with children, in order to qualify for a Child Development Assistant (CDA) certification, and job placement support services.  As part of the program, background checks and fingerprinting are completed by each participant, so that immediately upon graduation, the graduate will be ready to be hired and serve as a qualified and well-prepared early childhood professional.  The agreement funds up to $3,000 per student, per class, for an amount not to exceed $420,000, with the agreement expiring September 30, 2024.  The agreement funds program expenses, including staffing, trainers, and supplies.  YWCA of Lubbock has utilized $156,000 of the $420,000 in the agreement and they are requesting an extension.  The proposed amendment would extend the original term of the agreement to December 31, 2026, but will not add any additional funds to the amount already allocated through the original agreement.

Fiscal Impact

This amendment is an extension of the original term of the agreement, and has no fiscal impact.
