Yonkers ' At its July 29 special meeting, the Yonkers City Council voted 6-0 to accept a $16,667.67 Summer Youth Employment Program grant from the Westchester County Youth Bureau and to approve an intermunicipal agreement between the City of Yonkers and the County of Westchester to provide the youth employment program through the city's Youth Bureau.
Council President Collins Bellamy opened the item and the council briefly discussed whether a local match was required; a staff member referred to D'Shawn, who indicated he did not have details at that moment when asked about a match. No further debate or public comment occurred before the council closed discussion and recorded the unanimous vote.
The council characterized item 6 as correlating with the earlier special ordinance accepting the grant (item 4). The intermunicipal agreement authorizes the county and city to cooperate in delivering the program through Yonkers' Youth Bureau; the adopted resolution enables the city to proceed with county-funded youth placements and any administrative steps required to receive the funds.
The council did not specify program participant counts, match requirements or implementation deadlines during the meeting. Staff follow-up to clarify the grant match, participant targets and reporting requirements was not recorded during the session.
