1 RESOLUTION
WHEREAS the City of Lubbock seeks worthwhile social programs to benefit
its citizens for which reason it entered into a contract with the Texas Department
of Community Affairs to establish a Young Adult Conservation Corps in Lubbock,
and
WHEREAS the Parks and Recreation department and other staff of the City of
Lubbock have invested in excess of 100 budgeted man-hours in a concerned effort
to help our citizens and operate within the program's guidelines.
WHEREAS the City of Lubbock finds the program guidelines to be so restricted
as to be self defeating, in particular the requirement that unemployed applicants
must pay for their own physicals,
WHEREAS because of this restriction and others the City of Lubbock, despite
its best efforts, has not yet been able to comply with the program's guidelines,
and
WHEREAS the letters received by the City of Lubbock from the Texas Department
of Community Affairs, threatening termination of this contract, indicate that
they demonstrate very little understanding of the problems of hiring, turnover,
and other salient points in developing and operating this type of program,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF LUBBOCK:
THAT it is the express will of the City Council for the City of Lubbock
that this contract #48006480, relating to the Young Adult Conservation Corps
Grant, from the Texas Department of Community Affairs be terminated,
THAT the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute this resolution on behalf
of the City of Lubbock and to cause it to be delivered to the Texas Department
of Community Affairs and to the Honorable Bill Clements, Governor of the State
of Texas.
