Title
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF THE NORTHWEST FOCAL POINT SENIOR CENTER DISTRICT, PROVIDING FOR APPROVAL OF AARP SCSEP (SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM) AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE AARP FOUNDATION AND THE NORTHWEST FOCAL POINT SENIOR CENTER DISTRICT STARTING SEPTEMBER 1, 2021, PROVIDING FOR TERM; PROVIDING FOR AUTOMATIC RENEWAL; PROVIDING FOR TERMINATION; AUTHORIZING THE BOARD PRESIDENT AND PROJECT DIRECTOR TO RENEW THIS AGREEMENT UNDER THE SAME TERMS WITHOUT FURTHER BOARD ACTION, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND: The Northwest Focal Point Senior Center District and AARP Foundation
are entering into a joint agreement through the Senior Community
Service Employment Program under which an individual receives
training in a community service assignment while actively pursuing
unsubsidized employment. The Center is exploring this path in an
effort to fill some currently vacant positions. The Center will pay for the
background screening of the individual. This person will be
trained/work for the NWFP SC at no additional cost to the Center.
The pandemic has changed the dynamics of the employment market and
it has been increasingly difficult to find staff.
RECOMMENDATION: TO APPROVE
FISCAL IMPACT: Background screening cost.
