CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: September 25, 1973
ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Approving Agreement between City of Chula
Vista and Southwestern College for Off-Campus Work Study
Program
INITIATED BY: Director of Parks and Recreation
Rnrxr,Rnirnm
The City of Chula Vista has been approached by Southwestern College
concerning an off-campus work study program, financed for the most
part via a federal grant. The grant provides funds for college
students who are categorized as being from low income families. In
order for the students to receive funds for which they qualify they
must engage, through the supervision of the College, in meaningful
employment.
In response to their request, this department has prepared a pre-
liminary proposal to utilize six part-time recreation oriented students
in our recreation programming (not to exceed 15 hours per week).
If approved, this agreement will require financial participation by
the City of Chula Vista for 25% of the total hourly rate, or 56 cents
per hour. The duration of the agreement will be 39 weeks; from Octo-
ber 1, 1973 through June 30, 1974. The total anticipated cost to the
City is as follows:
39 weeks @ 15 hours per week = 585 hours
585 hours X 56 cents per hour = $327.60 per student worker
$327.60 X 6 students = $1,965.60
A special appropriation will not be required as there are sufficient
funds in the Recreation Division operating budget via salary savings,
to defray the costs outlined above.
