Dear Hal:
I received a letter on March 17, 1981, from a member of your staff,
Mr. Paul Sundquist. The letter serves as an official notification of the
Prime Sponsor's intention of allocating uiLai to OLHSA for the operation
of a Youth Employment Training Program (YETP) during FY81. My staff and I
have reviewed this proposed allocation and have decided to accept $175,000
of the proposed $342,751.
This decision is based upon two central concerns. The first concern is that
subsidized job development has become increasingly difficult due to the Union
Concurrance and Maintenance of Effort provisions within the Federal
Re4u a s s. - s' .ve re•uCes t e number-617TIE-Tailed jobs
available within Oakland County due to the large number of layoffs in the
local economy. This has a direct effect on the amount of money we feel we
can expend between now and September 30, 1981. We do feel that we can develop
the 45 subsidized sositilins necessary to expend the $175,000 figure, but the
88 su.sisi -41 0 itions necessary to expend the $342,751 is not feasible,
especially when you consider that we anticipate a need of 500 subsidized
positions for the upcoming Summer Youth Employment Program.
My second concern upon which this decision has been reached is the FY82
allocation formula. If FY82 allocations are to be ba5211_10.12ILsalbf.
quarterly evaluation ratings received by each subrecipient, we feel it wise
to coneen ra e on ensuring OLHSA receives the highest possible quarterly
rating. Since your office devised a standardized set of performance objec-
tives for each subrecipient, OLHSA is at a disadvantage because of the lack

of unsubsidized jobs in the Pontiac area and the fact that we serve a large
percentage of high school dr7TraaTTTFElrlimited or no skills. Instead of
taking our youth successful in our II-B program and placing them into a
Classroom Training or an On-the-Job Training position, where their chances
of long-term self-sufficiency is enhanced, the performance objectives requires
my staff to place them directly into unsubsidized positions for the sake of
receiving a higher score on our quarterly evaluations. With a smaller
allocation under YETP, we reduce the number of unsubsidized placements which
need to be made and enhance our chances of continued funding in FY82.
It is unfortunate that OLHSA is faced with either servicing clients in a
comprehensive fashion or playing the "numbers game" by placing youth in a
dead end job when they would be better off returning to school. I hope
that you are sensitive to the problems this evaluation procedure presents
to OLHSA in its attempt to serve the community and its clientele.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you should have any questions re-
garding the contents of this letter.
