SOUTHFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS
JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - $100,000
The purpose of the CETA program in the Southfield Public Schools project is
to reinstate services to students in the areas of career education, guidance,
and library programs in order to promote job opportunity for economic
development for all students. Budget restrictions in 1975-1976 imposed
sharp curtailments in these as well as other programs. This project would not
duplicate, supplant, or conflict with other federal manpower programs in the
area.
The thrust of educational services would be for the students affected by the
higher levels of service made possible by this project, e.g., job awareness
and exploration, resources for career preparation, economic opportunity in
career fields, speakers, resources, etc. An institutional training program
is planned for all staff. District and building in-service programs will be
designed to remove artificial barriers to employment and to maximize the
employability of every child.
, The overall goal is to help each student to become more employable at any stage
of life, as a result of attitudes, skills, and knowledge developed during the
elementary and secondary years. Reinstated staff and related in-service to
all staff will allow direct impact on students in libraries, guidance centers,
and classrooms. A major artificial barrier to employment presently facing
,young people is their own lack of awareness of career opportunities. The
purpose of career education is to broaden each student's view of career
alternatives: job families, job outlooks, scope and variety, backgrounds
require, plus the dynamics, advantages and risks of various jobs, In addition,
career education enhances the student's immediate employability through the
development of such basic skills as completing job applications, writing
resumes, and handling interviews.
HURON VALLEY SCHOOLS
PROJECT IMPACT - $115,634
This grant will allow approximately 43 people to work 55 man months on projects
to be funded by the $115,634 requested. The district proposes to pair
unemployed skilled tradesmen and craftsmen with unemployed youth on such
projects as developing the educational park on Bogie Lake Road, creative
design and painting of the school corridors and setting up a metric farm where
the students work in science with metric tools. Salaries account for 91% of
the funds requested. The bulk of the project will occur during the outdoor
work season dependent upon weather.
In addition, the activities performed under this grant will have a significant
effect on the ecology. This effect will be achieved primarily by programming
public service work to improve various public school sites and land holdings.
This program will enable participants to become economically sufficient in a
variety of ways. Ideally, the participants will develop or enhance salable
job market skills or earn money to attend vocational or educational institutions.
C.E.T.A. employees who prove their skills will be given priority where vacancies
may occur within the regular work force. They will also be given priority in the
event that new regular positions become available due to expansion. Employees
will be developing skills that would benefit them in seeking employment in the
private sector.
Although it is not anticipated that the Title X program will be used to extend
already existing CETA programs, there will be a correspondence between these new
public service employees and those already hired. These new employees will join
previous CETA employees in being eligible for openings which occur within the
regular employer work force through attrition or expansion. As in the case of
other CETA employees any Title X person who works within the appropriate job
areas will become a member of the local bargaining unit.
The Title X program will be used solely for unemployed residents of Oakland
County and for public service work within Oakland County. No Livingston County
residents or proejcts are included in this program.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
PARK BEAUTIFICATION AND RESTORATION - $1,500,000
This is a total Oakland County Park system clean-up, beautification and
restoration project. It will be comprised of three mobile work crews which
will travel to designated work sites within the 2200 acres of County Parks.
Once there, they will perform such beautification, restoration and development
projects as cleaning and restoring river beds, cutting and developing of
nature trails, cleaning and improving lakeshores, trimming, elevating and
planting of trees and shrubs. Two of the sites, 800 acre Independence-Oaks
and 220 acre Springfield-Oaks Park, are to be dedicated as Bicentennial
parks and will carry the Bicentennial plaque. •
This project is self-contained in that it will provide 120 laborers, four
supervisors, inclement weather clothing, tools, transportation, safety shoes,
and other items necessary to work in the out-of-doors.
Accomplishment of the project goals will provide additional park areas and
access to help make the parks available and more beautiful for the Bicentennial
dedications and leisure time users.
LAKE AND STREAM IMPROVEMENT - $50,000
The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Comiaission will establish a program
of beautification, clean-up and restoration of stream and lake shoreline at
the 800 acre Independence-Oaks Park. This park is to be dedicated as a
bicentennial park and will carry the bicentennial plaque.
This project, along with its companion project, will create 125 positions
within the park system during the 1976 calendar year.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
PROJECT - FACILITY BEAUTIFICATION - $76,924
This project would include fire hydrant painting, well-house painting as
well as revitalization and reconstruction of waste-water treatment plant
grounds and sand beds.
It is also anticipated that twelve men working the nine-month construction
season could provide the services required within the limits of the allocated
funds.
The department would anticipate hiring these employees at the expiration of
the projects as vacancies occur through normal attrition.
PROJECT - FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS - $79,414
Three areas of activity are scheduled for water and sewer improvements.
One project would include the cleaning, operation and repair of all valves,
gate boxes and gate wells on water systems.
Another project would be a.survey to locate and repair all water service
stop boxes, including 5,000 boxes whose location is unknown and which
is not presently recorded.
The last project would be the rehabilitation of all sewer manholes and
tops located in flood-plain areas.
It is anticipated that twelve men working the nine-month construction
season could accomplish these projects within the budget provided.
