CITY OF TEMECULA
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Community Services Commission
FROM: Herman Parker, Director of Community Services
DATE: March 9, 2009
SUBJECT: Mayor's Summer Youth Employment Program
PREPARED BY: Phyllis L. Ruse, Deputy Director of Community Services
Charles Walker, Human Services Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission receive and file a report on
the Mayor's Summer Youth Employment Program.
BACKGROUND: The Mayor's Summer Youth Employment Program is a new program
being offered through the Community Services Department this year. Proposed by the Youth
Master Plan, staff has been working on the program in an effort to bring it forward to the community
this spring.
The program goal is to place youth between the ages of 14 and 24 with local employers during the
summer months. It is anticipated that positions will be filled for six to eight weeks during the
summer and may be full time or part time opportunities. The goal is to provide summer employment
for at least 250 youth within our community.
Along with earning a paycheck, the youth will have an opportunity to learn or improve soft skills,
such as resume writing, interviewing skills, dressing for success, and basis work ethics expected on
the job. Employers may expect youth who have been pre-screened, have provided right-to-work
documents, and have gone through the soft skill training. In addition, TCSD staff will mentor the
youth throughout their employment experience. Staff will also stay in contact with the employer to
ensure that any potential problems are addressed.
TCSD anticipates a partnership with the Riverside County Economic Development Agency (EDA) for
this program. EDA is slated to receive federal stimulus money over the next two years. Staff has
met with EDA, explained our program and filed an application for funding. The EDA has expressed
great interest in our program and a desire to partner with us in its execution. Staff is hopeful that
this program will receive funding from EDA to offset youth employment costs.
Third District County Supervisor Stone's office has already committed $20,000 in the form of a
Community Improvement Designation grant to cover administrative costs to operate the program.

AGENDA REPORT
TO:
Community Services Commission
FROM:
Herman Parker, Director of Community Services
DATE: March 9, 2009
SUBJECT: 'Rhythms' Teen Dances
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission receive and file a report on
the "Rhythms" Teen Dances.
BACKGROUND: Rhythms-Teen Dance Party is a new program being offered through
the Community Services Department this year. The program goal is to provide a place for our teens,
ages 15 - 18 or with a current High School ID Card, to dance, and interact with peers in a safe,
friendly and fun atmosphere while not appearing to look like a "classic" city event.
Advertising for the dance events is done through the local high school announcements. In addition,
a MySpace page was created for "Rhythms" and teens can registered as a friend and receive post
card mailers and text messages about upcoming dance events.
Each event is held at a rented vacant store front building in Temecula. An "On-Air" personality from
99.1 KGGI Radio (DJ 5 Cent) is on hand to play Top 40 music for the teens to dance to. The store
front is enhanced with additional club style lighting and a great lounge area. Snacks are available
for purchase, and throughout the night raffle drawings are held. Staff, Temecula Youth Advisory
club members, as well as minimal Police presence, are on hand to ensure the safety of all the
participants.
Dances are held from 7:00pm to 11:00pm. The cost is $3, however participants on the mailing list
receive a postcard worth a $1 discount.
The City has held three dances to date. Attendance at the first dance was approximately 50.
Attendance at the second and third dance were 250 and 300. As interest in the Rhythms MySpace
page continues to grow, staff expects attendance at future dances to grow as well.
