Executive Summary

Date: March 23, 2016

Subcommittee: Consent Agenda

Agenda Item: Agreement Amendment between ECC and Buffalo Promise Neighborhood (BPN) through Annie E. Casey Foundation Grant Funding in Buffalo’s Westminster Community for the ECC One-Stop Center

This item is for: For Board's Approval Backup Documentation: Attached to this document

Background Information: The Buffalo Promise Neighborhood Grant through the Annie E. Casey Foundation (the “Planning Grant”) now offers

a two-generation approach to Buffalo’s Westminster Community for student and family success by extending a full

continuum of ‘prenatal through college-to-career solutions’ for 20 pilot families. The BPN continues to provide

funding to the ECC One-Stop Center for onsite screening to place program participants and to enroll program adults

for career services and job development. Program adults who meet established criteria are enrolled in the

Pathways to Success program and may access Individual Training Account (ITA) tuition grants to enroll in ECC’s

academic programs. The ECC Pathways to Success Program reconnects these adults and youth to education and

employment with special academic case management services provided to at-risk students by the Education 2

Recovery Program.

Reasons for Recommendation: A Job Developer was approved by the ECC BOT in May 2014 to work with the Casey Foundation and all community

partners of the Foundation. This employee’s efforts are dedicated to improving career options for adults

participating in the Two-Generation family-centered project. Based on the Job Developer’s success working with

approximately 47 families, the Westminster Foundation desires to amend the agreement by adding one additional

full-time Grade 9 Job Developer position to double the employment and career services to families in the targeted

footprint of Buffalo’s Westminster Community.

In August 2015, the ECC BOT approved a renewal of the original agreement. Due to salary negotiations, the August

agreement has not been finalized and signed. Since the Casey Foundation would now like to add an additional Job

Developer position, the August agreement has been amended to include the second position.

Fiscal Implications: The grant period of August 27, 2015 through December 31, 2016 reimburses the college with $67,711 annually for

salary, fringe and a laptop for the first position. The second position is the amendment and the college will be

reimbursed at a $65,128 annual rate for the seven-month period of June 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016. The

amount expended for the two positions will not exceed $113,004.

Consequences of Negative Action: Loss of potential student enrollments in ECC Pathways to Success, academic degree and academic certificate

programs.

Steps Following Approval: Review and approval by legal counsel.

Amended March 23, 2016 SERVICE AGREEMENT

  

THIS AGREEMENT, dated August 4, 2015, with an effective date as of August 27, 2015, is and by and between WESTMINSTER FOUNDATION, a New York not-for-profit corporation with an address at 465 Main Street, Suite 510, Buffalo, NY 14203 (the "Foundation") and ERIE COMMUNITY COLLEGE, a community college existing under the laws of the State of New York with offices at 121 Ellicott Street, Buffalo, New York 14203 ("ECC").  

WHEREAS the Foundation's mission includes supporting the improvement of health, educational and economic outcomes for the children and families located within the City of Buffalo, and specifically in the "Buffalo Promise Neighborhood" (herein "BPN"), an economically distressed area within the 14215 zip code. In furtherance of this mission, the Foundation develops programs and provides support for the children and families within the BPN to provide educational, financial literacy and workforce development services to parents of these enrolled children.  

ECC desires to play a key outreach function by providing educational/career-mentoring services to families located within BPN. ECC has developed a remarkably effective "Pathways to Success" program to reconnect adults and youth to education and employment, as well as the ''One-Stop Career Center" program which provides specialized, extensive academic case management services for at-risk adults. Such programs by ECC will help further the Foundation's purpose of helping children and families in the BPN. Therefore the Foundation desires to support such programs by ECC.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, ECC and the Foundation hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Services to be Performed.  

ECC agrees to perform the following services ("ECC Services") within the designated BPN geography for adults as identified and agreed upon by the Foundation. The ECC services include:

 

(i) The "ECC One-Stop Center" program in order to provide onsite screening within the BPN to place program participants into jobs, provide case management services, evaluate linkage, and foster the educational/career pathway for families;

 

(ii) Enrolling BPN program adults with the ECC One-Stop Center for career services and job development, including individualized assessments, referrals to job postings, workshops, resume and interview assistance, and access to Individual Training Account (ITA) grants for eligible participants;

SERVICE AGREEMENT  

THIS AGREEMENT, dated August 4, 2015, with an effective date as of August 27, 2015, is and by and between WESTMINSTER FOUNDATION, a New York not-for-profit corporation with an address at 465 Main Street, Suite 510, Buffalo, NY 14203 (the "Foundation") and ERIE COMMUNITY COLLEGE, a community college existing under the laws of the State of New York with offices at 121 Ellicott Street, Buffalo, New York 14203 ("ECC").

 

WHEREAS the Foundation's mission includes supporting the improvement of health, educational and economic outcomes for the children and families located within the City of Buffalo, and specifically in the "Buffalo Promise Neighborhood" (herein "BPN"), an economically distressed area within the 14215 zip code. In furtherance of this mission, the Foundation develops programs and provides support for the children and families within the BPN to provide educational, financial literacy and workforce development services to parents of these enrolled children.

 

ECC desires to play a key outreach function by providing educational/career-mentoring services to families located within BPN. ECC has developed a remarkably effective "Pathways to Success" program to reconnect adults and youth to education and employment, as well as the ''One-Stop Career Center" program which provides specialized, extensive academic case management services for at-risk adults. Such programs by ECC will help further the Foundation's purpose of helping children and families in the BPN. Therefore the Foundation desires to support such programs by ECC.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, ECC and the Foundation hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Services to be Performed.  

ECC agrees to perform the following services ("ECC Services") within the designated BPN geography for adults as identified and agreed upon by the Foundation. The ECC services include:

 

(i) The "ECC One-Stop Center" program in order to provide onsite screening within the BPN to place program participants into jobs, provide case management services, evaluate linkage, and foster the educational/career pathway for families;

 

(ii) Enrolling BPN program adults with the ECC One-Stop Center for career services and job development, including individualized assessments, referrals to job postings, workshops, resume and interview assistance, and access to Individual Training Account (ITA) grants for eligible participants;

 

(iii) Enrolling program adults who meet established criteria, in the "Pathways to Success" program for GED and Pre-Collegiate Studies, certificate and degree programs, and noncredit One-Stop workshops, and services;

(iv) A full-time Job Developer for the Two-Generation (40 hours per week), with the job duties set forth in Exhibit "A" hereto working with the Foundation and all community partners of the Foundation to further its mission.

  

 2. Expected Outcomes and Reporting.

 

(a) ECC shall collect and provide information to track and determine the progress of ECC Services provided toward the following expected outcomes ("Expected Outcomes"):

 

• 100% of adults working toward educational attainment or participating in job readiness;

 • 85% of participating adults will complete educational attainment or

job readiness goal;  

• 75% of adults will be employed within 6 months of completing ECC training Services;

 

(b) ECC shall periodically provide the Foundation with reports evidencing:  

• The number of adults participating in ECC services  

• The scores of assessments and other progress indicators within the ECC program for participants.

 

(c) ECC shall provide demographic and other evaluation data to the Foundation on a quarterly basis at minimum.

 

(d) ECC shall provide an annual assessment report to the Foundation of evaluation data gathered from ECC's evaluation tools.

 

(e) The Foundation shall measure Expected Outcomes on such periodic basis as it may determine. ECC shall periodically provide the Foundation with reports that aggregate or otherwise analyze the ECC's activities and Expected Outcomes, including but not limited to reports that compare, rank or otherwise analyze the performance of adults served by ECC. Accordingly, a continued or substantial failure ofECC to meet Expected Outcomes shall be a basis for the Foundation, in its discretion, to terminate this Agreement under Section 4 of this Agreement upon 30 days' advance written notice.

  

 3. Payments and Invoicing.

 

(a) Fees. The Foundation agrees to pay ECC fees for services rendered (the "Fees"), including without limitation to support the expense of the onsite Job Developer as described in Section 1 of this Agreement, as the sole compensation for the ECC

Services to be provided during the Term of the Agreement which shall not exceed:

 

August 27, 2015 - December 31, 2016: at $62,500 annually ($61,000 salary with fringe, plus $1,500 to cover incidental expenses such as cell phone or other costs).

 

(b) Payments. The Foundation shall pay Fees on not less than a monthly basis upon the submission of invoices with supporting documentation submitted by ECC to support the reimbursement request. All invoices should be mailed to Westminster Foundation, 465 Main Street, Suite 510, Buffalo, NY 14203. All fees paid hereunder are non-refundable.

 

4. Term.  

(a) Term. This Agreement shall commence upon the date of this Agreement and shall terminate on December 31, 2016 (the "Term").

 

(b) Termination for cause.  

(i) Prior to the end of the Term, either party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon delivery of written notice if the other party breaches any material provision of this Agreement (including, but not limited to disclosure of proprietary information) and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice to the breaching party.

 

(ii) Notwithstanding the preceding sub-paragraph (i), this Agreement may be terminated immediately by the Foundation in the event ECC, in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, in the sole judgment of the Foundation, acts or fails to act in any way that affects the safety or welfare of the participants.

 

(c) Termination without cause.  

(i) After the initial Term of this Agreement, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, either party may terminate this Agreement without cause upon not less than ninety (90) days advance written notice to the other party, or on such other notice as is provided in this Agreement.

 

(ii) Both parties acknowledge that the Foundation desires to support ECC by means of a planning grant by the Annie E. Casey Foundation (the "Planning Grant") awarded to the Foundation in January 2013. Therefore, the Foundation reserves the right to terminate this Service Agreement immediately upon notification by the Annie E. Casey Foundation of non- renewal of the Planning Grant funding. The Foundation agrees to pay ECC for all services it performs prior to such termination in accordance with this Agreement.
