DISCUSSION
The City of Fort Worth has administered since 1987, a JTPA program targeting individuals age
55 or older who needed employment and training assistance to be competitive for jobs in today's
work force Program participants must be unemployed and meet income eligibility guidelines at
the time of application, be willing to invest their time and energy to gain appropriate employment
skills, and actively participate in job search activities The proposed 1995 program is designed
to serve 95 individuals
The interim funding of 580,000 00 from the unreserved, undesignated General Fund balance is
a temporary measure that is designed to ensure the smooth transition from one grant funding
period to another Upon execution of the grant agreement with TDOC, the interim funding will
be returned to the unreserved, undesignated fund
