SUBJECT: Laotian Outreach Worker Employment Agreement
PURPOSE
This is to execute a new employment agreement for Nasakhoune
Siphengphone, the new Community Outreach Worker.
BACKGROUND
In December of 1993, the City of Elgin and the Young Women's
Christian Association (YWCA) entered into an agreement con-
cerning the Refugee Targeted Assistance Grant, whereby the
City of Elgin became a subprovider to the YWCA concerning
this grant. At that time, the city had a Laotian Outreach
Worker who was working in that capacity from the previous
contractual agreement. The Laotian Outreach Worker who was
fulfilling the contract tendered his resignation, and a new
Outreach Worker has filled the position, thereby necessitat-
ing the execution of a new employment agreement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The contract period for which the YWCA Refugee Crime Preven-
tion Project Agreement with the City of Elgin have entered
into is from October 1, 1993, to June 30, 1994. For that
time period, the following monies have been budgeted in the
Police MID/Juvenile Division (2304) :
Community Outreach Worker Salary $16,263.00
Fringe Benefits 7,014.00
Total Agreement Costs $23,277.00
LEGAL IMPACT
The Legal Department has reviewed the attached agreement.
There are no issues.
