INVESTIGATION Moved by Sherwood, seconded by Kehe, to concur with report NYC - CCOEO of City Code and Judiciary and Health end Welfare Committees' on investigation of city employees being enrolled with Neighborhood Youth Corps program of Cook Co. Office of Economic Opportunity, as follows: FINDING OF FACTS 1. City did not seek our participation in Neighborhood Youth Corps program conducted by C. C. 0. E. 0., but was contacted by James Ballee, Chief Counsellor o:E Illinois State Employment Service, Des Plaines, Illinois. 2. That first contact was sometime in May, 1971, and was by a telephone call from Mr. Ballee to our City Comptroller, Duane Blietz. 3. Mr. Clyde Brooks, Director of Manpower Division of CCOEO, letter to Mayor of May 10, 1971 explained the nature of Neighborhood Youth Corps summer work program, which program was reviewed by Mayor and declined. Neither letter to Mayor, nor his repsonse of June 1, 1971, was ever communicated to the City Com ptroller, Commissioner of Public Works Schwab, or City Council, nor was Mayor's response apparently ever communicated to other CCOEO officials or their agent, the Illinois State Employment Service. 4. .:'No written material, except letter to Mayor, was ever supplied City, employees, or parents by the Illinois State Employment Service or CCOEO as to nature and requirements of program prior to City's participation. At the time City began participation, the program had been described as a summer work program sponsored by the State. 5. Correspondence from ISES and CCOEO to City and employees was also devoid of nature of program, including contract signed by Commissioner of Public Works wherein parties were City and CCOEO. That contract was not approved by City Council in the manner required by law. 6. All Employees had already been hired by the City at time Comptroller was first contacted by Mr. Ballee. 7. Mr. Ballee told all employees that parents were to sign a "Parent Permission" form but that the income space was to be left blank and was unimportant. 7 i 10/4/71 160 Page four 8. Income information on two forms was filled out by Mr. Ballee or someone on his staff at the Des Plaines office of the ISES after parent permission forms were signed by parents and employees. 9. All income information that was filled in by Mr. Ballee was patently incorrect and in excess of program maximums. Approval of said applica- tions was in violation of written procedures by the United States Department of Labor and should not have been approved by the CCOEO. 10. None of the income information inserted on forms was employees or City. 11. Committee makes no finding as to basis on which Mr. the incorrect information relative to income. 12. Mr. Bailee had never handled CCOEO programs before. supplied by parents, Ballee inserted 13. Mr. Bailee admits misinformation regarding income should have been caught by his office or CCOEO. 14. CCOEO funds were not in addition to City pay but were contributions towards it. Employees did not receivb any more money than they would have without the CCOEO program. 15. The Mayor and City Council were not informed of the City's participation in the program until the July 6, 1971 Council meeting when the City Comptroller .reported "We have a number of students again this year and we are getting a portion of their salary back this year from the Office of Economic Opportunity for those students who are still high school students, it does not apply to the college students this year". This is the only information the City Council ever received regarding this program. 16. Parents and employees have agreed that CCOEO funds received will be repaid in fu1:L by them to CCOEO. 17. Mr. Clyde H. Brooks, Manpower Director of CCOEO stated unequivocably that he believed that there was no intention on anyone's part to mislead or defraud. 18. Federal, State and County administrative and review procedures relative to CCOEO and similar funds are being re-evaluated by those agencies. CONCLUSIONS 1. City should not have participated in CCOEO program without City Council approval in the manner required for contracts by the City and any other party. 2. Payment of CCOEO funds to the particular employees as a portion of their wages was incorrect, as the families of those employees failed to meet maximum income levels allowed by the program. 3. None of the City employees or parents involved were informed as to the essential nature of the program prior to participation. 4. No individual involved intended to mislead or defraud any governmental agency. 5. Proper administrative and review procedures by ISES and CCOEO would have prevented any of theemployees from participating in the progradw, 6. City would not have participated in the program if there had been proper communication between City Department heads and Mayor. Following report above, Motion declared Carried. COMMENDATION Moved by Bonaguidi, seconded by Seitz, to commend the Special Committees assigned to investigate the above for the excellent way in which they conducted said investigation.
